By clicking the expand gadget at the left of each key, you can see the key's

additional user IDs and PhotoID, if present. The columns (Key ID, Type, Key

Validity, Owner Trust, Expiry, and Fingerprint) show a number of other key

properties: you can choose which columns you want to see by selecting them in

the rightmost gadget in the column header bar. In the rest of this chapter we'll

explain what these properties mean.

The menu bar of the Key Management window allows you to operate on the

keys of your keyring. To do that, select a key, and then choose a menu item.

You also have most of these menu items in a pop-up menu that shows up when

you right-click on a key. Some menu items will be disabled (greyed out) if the

operation is not permitted on the key you selected. Some operations on a key

require that you have the companion private key, so you can accomplish them

on your key pair but not on other people's public keys.

7.1. Importing an existing key pair

Perhaps you have already used GnuPG, Enigmail, or any other OpenPGP

software in the past, and you generated a key pair in that occasion. In this

case, you might want to use your existing key pair in this installation of

Enigmail. Make sure you remember the passphrase of your old key pair,

otherwise you will be unable to use it.

To import your key pair, choose File → Import Keys From File and select the file

containing your key pair. Your key pair will be imported for you to use it.

If you never had a key pair (which would be the usual case for an inexperienced

users) you need to generate one, and it's time to do it now. Don't worry; this is

easier than it sounds, and how to do that is explained in the next Section.
