Sent messages should work. So in a first step, could you please check if
you can decrypt a message in TBs sent folder?

Could you please excerpt the complete MIME structure of such a
undecryptable mail?

Mine looks like

Header:

Content-Type: multipart/encrypted;
protocol="application/pgp-encrypted";
boundary="------------enig0952610895D72D0E79532393"


Body:

This is an OpenPGP/MIME encrypted message (RFC 2440 and 3156)
--------------enig0952610895D72D0E79532393
Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted
Content-Description: PGP/MIME version identification

Version: 1

--------------enig0952610895D72D0E79532393
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="encrypted.asc"
Content-Description: OpenPGP encrypted message
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="encrypted.asc"

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin)

(....)

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
