**Warning:** By default, Enigmail could generate a default GPG key in `work` associated with the newly created Thunderbird account. Generally, it corresponds to the email used in
`work-gpg` associated to your private key. In consequence, you will obtain `gpg -K` in `work` being non-empty but it _does not_ correspond to your private key in `work-gpg`.
Comparing the `fingerprint` or `expiration date` will show that they are not the same private key. In order to prevent Enigmail using this defaut generated local key in `work`, you can safely remove it.
