Hi,

Your questions belong to the gnupg-users forum.

Anyone can generate a keypair with different user IDs (uid) that bear
different e-mail addresses.

You are running MingW32, so you must have, as an integral part of that
installation, some kind of application to manage your keyrings.
Something like GPA or GPG-Tray, I really don't remember, I don't usually
run Windows.

Whatever the application, you will be prompted to enter your passphrase
when you want to edit your key, in order to add UIDs.

I don't believe it is possible.

You generate one keypair, you add UIDs, it's the same keypair for each
uid, and the same passphrase.

If you really require a different passphrase for each e-mail address,
you might need to generate a different keypair for each e-mail address,
and then you'll be able to set the passphrase you want.

If you don't get detailed answers in this forum (dedicated to Enigmail),
you might want to post your questions to the gnupg-users forum.

Sorry I can' do better, I don't usually run Windows.

Good luck,
