I created a key pair on my laptop and what I would like to do is copy
the key over so I can open my encrypted mail on my Raspberry Pi. For
some reason I have two key pairs on my laptop (I think it was when I was
fiddling around when it could never upload the public key to that server
when I was initially setting it up), but regardless it works fine with
no problems. I use Thunderbird on both devices

I copy them over to the Raspberry and have imported the keys, and check
in Key Management to see that they are there. In the key status it says
it's "revoked" but again sending encrypted email works on my laptop so I
don't know what to say about that. On Thunderbird, it gives the error
"no matching secret key found to decrypt message". Decryption also
simply "fails" when I try to open one of my drafts that are encrypted. I
sent an email to myself to confirm that the messages can be decrypted on
the Pi (doesn't ask for my password for some reason), but it doesn't
work on emails people sent me. I delete the second key pair I have to no
avail. Sending, encrypting and decrypting mail still works on my laptop.
It seems to have copied them over fine, and I have no idea next on how
to get it working again short of making a new key pair, and then copying
it over to my laptop.....

Also just one quick question, what happens when the keys expire? Is it
the same process as if it were revoked?

I have attached my public key of the key pair I'm trying to use.
