I have the following Enigmal problem:
On my MX Linux system, everything seems to be fine but I cannot upload my pub key. The message says: No WKS identity found. Also, the Setup Wizard does not proceed as in the manual. Instead, it says that GnuPG has been found and that I can apply my keys. Not other options are available. I can set up everything fine manually but when I do a test with the Adele bot, it does not recognize my pub key even if I attach it. Can anybody help? Will be greatly appreciated.

Some additional info:
Please note that I am a beginner. I have seen under my Linux key management that there are two GnuPG keys: an EdDSA key for signing and an ECDH key for encryption. Only the former is exported when I use the Export option in Enigmail. Could this be part of the problem?

WKS (Web Key Service) is a service that your email provider needs to set up. So far, only very few providers do this, and your provider is likely one of them.
I would recommend that you use the function "Upload to Keyserver" and use the key server keys.openpgp.org.
Concerning Adele: I'm not sure that it still works correctly. In any case, you need to attach your own key if you send a message to Adele - it won't look up your key on WKS or keyservers.

Sorry, please ignore the additional info above. That's just the usual key pair, I assume...

Thanks a lot for your reply, Patrick!
I'll try that and might come back if I have further questions.
Thx

The key Foo Bar <foobar@example.com> does not have a WKS identity.message?The problem in this case is that sending the key to the WKS server using GnuPG failed. Check the Enigmail debug log file for details about the error.
