I am using Enigmail with Thunderbird to crypt my emails and I would like it to retain my passphrase for some time. In Enigmail settings it is possible to set a duration to memorize the passphrase. However I get the following message:

Your system uses a specialized tool for passphrase handling such as gnome-keyring or seahorse-agent. Unfortunately OpenPGP cannot control the passphrase timeout for the tool you are using. therefore the respective timeout settings in OpenPGP are disregarded.

How to get rid of it and stop typing the passphrase hundreds of times? I am running Kubuntu and didn't find any option for this in the Kwallet.

The only thing I can say as a beginner is that you will need to get this in line. Keys are about security and you should have control of the tools for such objective.

As of MAN :

In ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf try to comment out the line use-agent and kill the running agent / restart.
