Upon opening the mail i was asked for a passphrase with which kontact decrypted the mail. Strange, because I had done several reboots before.

I'll keep you up to date if it works. :-) -- Best Regards - Mit freundlichen Gruessen Markus Feilner ------------------------- Feilner IT Linux & GIS Linux Solutions, Training, Seminare und Workshops - auch Inhouse Koetztingerstr 6c 93057 Regensburg fon regensburg +49 941 8107989 mobil +49 170 3027092=20 www: www.feilner-it.net mail: mfeilner@feilner-it.net -------------------------------------- My new book - Out now: http://www.packtpub.com/openvpn/book OPENVPN : Building and Integrating Virtual Private Networks _______________________________________________ KDE PIM mailing list kde-pim@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-pim KDE PIM home page at http://pim.kde.org/
