           Summary: Shortcut for kgpg under tools in the main toolbar
                    wanted
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.6
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: keys and menus
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: goblinstomper at gmail.com


Version:           1.13.6 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

Recently I tried to add my gpg key for signing purposes to KMail, and perhaps
this is more of a cleopatra bug than a kmail one. However, I think it would
make sense that since there is a "manage certificates" under Tools in the main
menu bar it would also make sense to have a "manage keys" invoking kgpg key
management http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeutils/kgpg/manage.html in the same
location. This would solve the problem I had of having no apparent way of
importing my old key. 

(Configure->Identities etc. relies on the certificate manager, Cleopatra
however does a) not regcognize the key as a certificate b) trying to import
they key using the "any file" option" results in an error messege saying that
certificate type could not be determined)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Start Kmail, use cleopatra to generate a key, verify that you got a working
key.
2) Export your key from Cleopatra, save it somewhere safe (like external USB
memory)
3) Re-format your harddrive
4) reinstall everything and try to add your old key to Kmail.

Actual Results:  
I got confused and frustrated as either generating a new key or depending on
networked services seemed to be my only options

Expected Results:  
The software should have an obvious way of invoking Kgpg's 'Key management' as
displayed here: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeutils/kgpg/manage.html
