Yes, Ximian Evolution
I got lots of trouble with Ximian Evolution therefore I changed to KMail
later
(Remark: I sent a test mail from Ximian as well as from Kmail later on
KDE desktop with following results)
1) Ximian
(Setting -1)
Tools --> Mail Settings
'Sending Mail'
Authentication Type 'Password'
Clicking 'Send', following warning popup
XError
gpg: skipped 'satimis@icare.com.hk': secret key not available
gpg: signing failed: secret key not available
( Remark: It never asked for password)
(Setting -2)
Tools --> Mail Settings
'Sending Mail'
Clicking 'Check for supported types' it selected 'NT Login'
on the droplist and 'Password' fadeout
Clicking 'Send', following popup
Xenter Password
Please enter your GnuPG passphrase for
After entering 'Password' following warning popup
gpg: skipped ?:malformed user id
gpg: signing failed: malformed user id
2) Kmail on KDE desktop
The test-mail was sent with record on 'Sent-mail' box but the recipient
can't receive it
B.Regards
Stephen
