Hold the horses :o) and thanx for the speedy reply/support

A little line makes me suspicious about my success on importing my private key:

Beside the Help button in the Certificate Manager the line reads:

"Certificates have not been validated with OCSP. Click View to do so"

Clicking View yields:

"Could not verify this certificate for unknown reasons."

If it is helpful I could supply some details like (fingerprints for SHA1 and MD5, ....)
or the OCSP settings (now using the Use OCSP to validate only certificates that specify an OCSP Service URL)

Now do I have successfully imported my key or not ? At least it is shown in the list of my private keys.
May this be the reason for not being able to send encrypted or signed mails cause when I want to do so
mozilla complains about not having a private key for me in the system and ask if it should show me the guide on how to install a key ?

Now I got my private key and imported it into Mozilla without any

One hint probably: I can not import any public key from anyone. It
silently ignores the import and does NOT show the other people in the
tabbed list box

I have attached an public key example that fails FWIW

Any help would be appreciated so that I could start persuading/argueing
to switch from Ootlook to Mozilla :o)


Name: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Type: Security Certificate (application/x-x509-ca-cert)
Encoding: base64

The cert you attached had the wrong mime content-type. It had the
content-type application/x-x509-ca-cert, but this is not a CA cert.
I'd guess that you're using the same mime type to try to download other user's certs. If so, that's the problem.

See http://wp.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-cert-download.html#communicator
for the info on the right mime types to use.
