Hi Patrick,

And thank you for your answer, which indirectly point me the solution I
need.

The short answer: just rm -f ~/.gnupg/*.lock

The long answer: Trying to manually check your mail via gpg cli leads to
a denial of access of my keyring, so after some search I see these two
locks (~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg.lock and ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg.lock) with a
pid in them dead for 9 days if I believe the timestamps. I just remove
these lock files so gpg can access my pubkeyring and enigmail is now
again a pleasure to use :)

An other big "Thank you", Patrick!

Thomas.
