Please don't do anything as root. It is totally unnecessary, very dangerous and will only lead to confusion. > so I then entered eval "$(gpg-agent > --daemon)" and it now shows as a running process.

This cannot work. See what I meant above with "It [...] will only lead to confusion."? What happens if you do the following as 'chris' (e.g. in Konsole)? [ch...@localhost ~]$ killall gpg-agent [ch...@localhost ~]$ killall kmail [ch...@localhost ~]$ eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" [ch...@localhost ~]$ kmail Regards, Ingo
