It is there, but may not be visible at first glance because key ID 0xA18A54D6 is actually a subkey for 0xE3B5806F. > second: I have seahorse as the gui tool to enter keyservers and > keys.

The settings for the GUI will only affect the GUI and not GPG itself. > After that I type your suggestion: > > gpg --search-keys A18A54D > > and to my surprise it still looked up wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net with no > result. To change the default keyserver for GPG on the command line you will need to edit ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf to comment out whatever is currently listed and add: keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net > This leaves us with two questions: > > 1. why do I not get a response for A18A54D6 on sks-keyservers.net?

Evolution specific things I can't help with, I've never used it. Regards, Ben
