Sure, just add "keyring the-other-keyring.gpg" to your gpg.conf file
or give --keyring on the command line.  By default, the keyring is
expected to be in your .gnupg directory.  If you want, you can give a
"/full/path/to/the/keyring.gpg" to the keyring command and then it
will look anywhere you like.

In Enigmail, I think you mean; Thunderbird itself has no OpenPGP
support.  This may seem pedantic, but I don't think the Thunderbird crew
would like to be blamed for things that are totally outside of their
purview.  :)

The real question is not whether Enigmail can use your USB stick, but
whether you can.  Plug in your USB stick and open up a command-line
window.  Try to use your secret key that's on the USB stick.  If you can
do this, then the bug is in Enigmail and it should be taken to the
Enigmail list.  If you can't, then the bug is in your setup or your
usage of GnuPG.

Let us know what happens.

Try

   secret-keyring /media/USB/.gnupg/secring.gpg

If you've also moved the other *.gpg files, you'll also need

   primary-keyring /media/USB/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

and

   trustdb-name /media/USB/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg

hello,


i used
secret-keyring /media/USB/.gnupg/secring.gpg
and everything worked fine,
but now enigmail does not recognize ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg
as default seckeyring

even with this solution i am satisfied, but still i wander is there a way to
set additional seckeying from USB stick

?

thanx for interest
