Well, in this case gnupg commmand line also had problems and kgpg is
depending on it. What went wrong I have no idea, as I wrote I had to
delete the gnupg.conf file twice and reimport my keypair before things
started working again.

Kgpg is "just" a gui for gnupg. As for enigmail I use it for
thunderbird just as I use Kleopatra for Kmail. Yes I use both mail
clients in order to separate work mail and other mail
