There is no more documentation available. I'm running a very normal Debian. Since entering passwords is a quite common thing, and this is about the user's security, shouldn't this deserve some more extensive information or be described in the manual? FWIW, after searching the Internet, I found several pieces of information that seem to be missing in the documentation in the file header of pinentry.el: I seemingly have to build pinentry-emacs if it's not available, for example. After having tried over an hour, I finally was in a state where I got no more password prompts at all. I'm thankful that I had the luck to be able to restore the previous state so that I got my Email working again and could open this report. This should not happen to others. Thanks in advance, Michael.
