So for all of us that don't use a smart card to store our keys, they are stored in TB?  What if we also have need for that key outside of email such as signing or decrypting files? We still need that key in GNUPG as well. If we change the key at all then we have to make sure it has been updated in

That is what I see happening too. When you start having multiple key stores, which one contains the "correct" keys?  I saw that happening in just my very limited usage where another program has its own key rings...  On 5/31/2020 1:28 AM, Andreas Boehlk Computer-Service wrote: > Hello Mark, > > I

Hello Mark, I totally agree. It is not possible to have more than one key store. Synchronization always fails some time and the standard user cannot handle it. So the only solution for TB will be to use GNUPG, because it has the only key store for all platforms and has proved to work for years.
