Try whether you can start gpg-agent as daemon manually: # gpg-agent --daemon If this works then kill the gpg-agent process and start it with the command # eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" This will set the environment variable needed by all applications that want to make use of a running gpg-agent. Next start KMail from the same console, i.e. # kmail and check whether it works. If this works then put a file called start-gpg-agent.sh into ~/.kde/env (or ~/.kde4/env) containing the following two lines: ===== killall gpg-agent 2>/dev/null eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" ===== This will ensure that gpg-agent is started whenever KDE is started. You can add more command line arguments to gpg-agent if you like. For example I added --default-cache-ttl 36000 to increase the duration gpg-agent caches the passphrase. Regards, Ingo
