Looks like the x11-plugins/enigmail problem of these bug reports:
* x11-plugins/enigmail-0.95.0 doesn't correctly ask for passphrase - bug #180281

* x11-plugins/enigmail + mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.17 - Using enigmail makes mozilla-thunderbird freeze/hang forever - bug #246421

* x11-plugins/enigmail-0.95.7-r1 needs USE="gtk" for app-crypt/pinentry - bug #246628

Same for me, seems as enigmail problem. USE=-crypt or seamonkey recompilation with gcc-4.1.2 solved the problem.

I use seamonkey-1.1.16, same bug for me. Thanks, emerge seamonkey with USE=-crypt helped me.

I used to use -crypt because of this too, but now I successfully work around it by emerging seamonkey with CFLAGS="-Os ..." instead of -O2, as mentioned in bug 246421.  This is amd64 on an Athlon, and gcc-4.3.2-r3.

Furthermore, I switched pinentry from ncurses to gtk, as mentioned in bug 246628.

with new version of seamonkey (2.0.4-r1) everything works.
