Ugh. No idea how but everything is working. Now there is nothing in the logs about errors; the "GPGME isn't working" does not appear anymore.

My private key has a number UIDs although originally, I couldn't even sign or decrypt with the primary UID, nor with any of the sub UIDs.

I had originally added identities for the sub UIDs under the corresponding accounts where those UIDs can be sent/received. Eventually I discovered that each identity has its own e2ee tab, and specified the same private key ID for each of the identities. Still unsure how that would make signing and decrypt work for the primary UID when it wouldn't before.

Perhaps try the encryption list https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/e2ee
