Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your quick response, I definitely agree to not storing keys
in RC.
I was just wondering if yuo had other users facing the same issue and if
you would perhaps know of a workaround.
I'll be sure to check the dev-mailvelope branch sometime soon, thanks!
Best,
Hans

Hello Hans
Unfortunately we don't have a solution for this problem. The key
storage of Mailvelope is totally isolated and access for a web
application is only possible in a very limited way. Which is by design
an actually a key feature.
Although we might check the availability of certain keys from within
Roundcube and providing a backup copy from the Roundcube side is
theoretically possible, it doesn't make much sense because it would
break the integrity of the key store by moving sensitive data (like
private keys) from the extension's isolated storage into the web
application's local storage which cannot be trusted.
An immediate workaround might be to switch to Chrome where the storage
backend for extensions seems to be more reliable. But other than that,
you have to wait for Firefox to fix that issue.
Best,
Thomas
P.S. check out the latest version from our dev-mailvelope branch. It
comes with an import feature for public keys if they're missing for
certain message recipients.

Dear RC-devs,
A question that is probably outside of your area of influence but
nonetheless I'm interested if you have had any more feedback on this.
If you
don't then a short "no" would ofcourse be very much acceptable.
Recently on the ML it was announced that you were looking into more
functional integration with Mailvelope, that sounds very promising,
however
Mailvelope (at least on Firefox) suffers from a very problematic bug,
namely
it frequently looses all keys and settings due to some unreliable
behaviour
of the extension storage back end in firefox:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1091244
And:
https://github.com/mailvelope/mailvelope/issues/304
There are a number of tickets opened in the Mailvelope Github, however
no
usable remedy has been found yet. Do you know of any way to solve/work
around this? As it is effectively prohibiting me from using Mailvelope
at
all.
Best regards,
Hans de Raad
