[SOLVED] Remember passwords for GPG in claws-mail

Every time I want to send encrypted email in claws-mail i need to enter password.
Is there a way to enable encryption without entering every time password like in Thunderbird?

Remove the passphrase from your key?

Of course, all of this means anyone with access to your system can sign something on your name.

Claws-mail asks password no meter what key-id or keygrip I preset.
Did I miss some step?

/usr/lib/gnupg/gpg-preset-passphrase --preset claws-mail:0000000000000000000000

I looked for key-id keygrip by

gpg --list-key my@mail.com
and
gpg --with-keygrip -K

See the green note.
What if you sign two mails in rapid succession?

Re: [SOLVED] Remember passwords for GPG in claws-mail

I found out my mistake I used [SB] and [E] keygrips to preset passphrase.
But emails are encrypted and signed with [S ] keygrip.
