How can I enable the debug log in Enigmail?

Postby patrick » 26th Oct 2007 08:31

To enable the debug log:
  • Open the Enigmail Preferences panel: OpenPGP > Preferences
  • Make sure the option Show expert settings is activated
  • Then click on the Debugging tab to access the debugging preferences.
  • In the text box labelled Log Directory, type in any valid directory path, e.g., /data/tmp (Unix) or c:\windows\temp (Windows).
  • Close the preferences window, and restart Thunderbird

A file named enigdbug.txt will be created in this directory containing the trace log.
