Hi, I had a similar issue with icedove + enigmail with 'Error - bad
passphrase' and 'You are using gpg-agent for passphrase handling.
Clearing the passphrase is therefore not possible from within Enigmail.'
I had logged in on a 2nd virtual terminal which somehow killed the
gpg-agent. Check your .xsession-errors; I found this:
running 'pkill -INT ^gpg-agent$;
Check if gpg-agent is running:
~$ ps aux |grep gpg
ralph 3593 0.0 0.0 19352 680 ? Ss May24 0:15
gpg-agent --daemon --write-env-file /home/ralph/.cache/gpg-agent-info
This is up-to-date stable; uses pinentry-gtk2.
I rebooted to resolve the issue, but I think only gpg-agent needed to be
restarted.
Hope this may help you troubleshoot your issue.
Good luck!
Ralph
