Kmail and gpg


Hi everybody.

May be some of you know the answer to my question.
I am trying to configure Kmail with PGP.
I followed steps described in

http://userbase.kde.org/KMail/PGP_MIME

The official manual says:

3. Then click Modify > Advanced > OpenPGP Key
4. It will automatically go to the path of your gpgkey, that is ~/.gnupg


In reality:

It does not automatically go anywhere, but provides a menu
to change OpenPGP encryption key. When I click on the button to
change my key it shows me a selection menu with my key in it.
When I select it, the red cross appears on the icon near the key
and the "OK" button remains grey, so I can not do anything.
Did anybody try to configure Kmail with GPG? How do you configure
Kmail to use your keys?


Thanks for help.

I didn't have a problem with the key generated on the same computer that I used Kmail with.

I found these, sounds very similar to your situation:

Kinda like the problem of unsigned imported keys:
