Hi Tristan, Are you subscribed to the user mailing list? That might be a good idea since you already posted a couple of times.
Could you try the following steps: - go the GPG Keychain Access Settings and change the key server to sks-keyservers.net (although I'm not aware of any issues with the one you named, I'm 100% sure the sks server currently works) - then close the settings and press cmd + f and enter the name from anyone who's key you'd want to import (e.g. Steve Bell) - for my name I see several entries, but the first one being the one for my actual mail address (steveb...@gulli.com, which you can also enter in the search field) - then press import and if my pub key isn't already in your GKA it should then import Please let us know if this works or at which point you encounter a problem. You can of course use the Terminal but you don't have to at all.
