Why is Enigmail incompatible with my Thunderbird or IceDove?

Postby patrick » 23rd Jan 2008 00:10

Enigmail is only compatible to official releases of Thunderbird and SeaMonkey as provided by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiaries.

These releases are currently built for the following platforms:
  • Windows: x86,32bit
  • Mac OS X: x86, 32bit and PowerPC
  • Linux: x86, 32 bit

Special note for Linux:
In particular, releases shipped with Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu, Redhat, OpenSuSE or Debian) cannot be supported. If you want to use Thunderbird / SeaMonkey / IceDove / IceApe created and installed by your distribution, then you also need an Enigmail release created by the same distribution. A 64-bit version of Enigmail for Linux is provided on the Enigmail downloads page, but there is no guarantee that it will work with a specific distribution
