Hi,

I need help changing the expiration date of my gpg keys (TB 102.10).

I already extended the date on the command line (gpg --edit-keys), but Thunderbird does not recognize this change.

Maybe it has its own keystore - don't know. I try to change the key from Thunderbird's key manager. Unfortunately it tells, the key has "a complex structure" and cannot be changed. Yes, the key has subkeys. But what can I do now?

Thanks

Once the expiry date has been changed via gpg, export the private key via gpg and re-import it into Thunderbird. Yes, Thunderbird has it's own key store.

Okay, thanks. It's not quite convenient, but does the job.

gpg --export -o public.gpg gpg --export-secret-key -o secret.gpg

secret.gpg is (probably) sufficient.
