Did you generate a keypair of your own?

Try the Enigmail _Beginners Manual_ the team put together (PDF):
http://downloads.mozdev.org/enigmail/docs/beginners-manual.pdf

We wrote a step-by-step page for installing GnuPG on Windows. There are a
few changes since Werner introduced the binary installer with 1.4.1, but
those are minor. It's located at http://enigmail.mozdev.org/gpgconf.html

Then check the Enigmail Help page: http://enigmail.mozdev.org/help.html

The Enigmail Configuration page, http://enigmail.mozdev.org/configure.html,
has information on the various settings and options you'll encounter.

Additionally, questions may be sent directly to the Enigmail mailing list,
enigmail at mozdev.org. It's moderated to nonsubscribers, but most of us
moderating won't leave you hanging for too long. Still, best if you
subscribe. Details at http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/enigmail
