Just an update. As I was doing my encryption testing to my account at work which is currently checked from a Fedora 7 (evolution-2.10.3-9) system. The encryption worked just fine (as in I can decrypt the message) however, as stated, the mail couldn't be signed so the receiving end states that it can't guarantee authenticity since it isn't signed. Do you see any error messages on the console when trying this in F9? I'm not sure whether these are shown on the evolution's or evolution-data-server's console, though. (To run evolution-data-server on its own console, you should close evolution and run command "evolution --force-shutdown" first, because there cannot run more than one eds instance at the moment). You might also try this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+question/14871 Yes, that was the problem all along. I find it frustrating that the error isn't clear enough to tell you what the real problem is. Thank you for the help. Google hadn't turned that one up during all my searching yesterday, guess I hadn't found the right search string. I imagine Evolution is just echoing back whatever error message the underlying encryption tool gave. But yes, point taken about it not being very helpful. I'll close this as NOTABUG, then. The usability aspects will have to be dealt with upstream. |
