Version: 1.7.1 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: gcc-3.3.4 OS: Linux When sending mails encrypted, later on, I can't check what I sent, because of the use of the public key of the recepient (dycryption would only possible, if I would have the private key of the communication partner. I have it of course , not. Regards, Walter Jontofsohn
Please check if you have enabled Configure KMail->Security->Composing->Always encrypt to self.

I ensured that "Always encrypt to self" is disabled. The thing is that is mails are encrypted withe recipients key, so i will never be able to decrypt the mail again (to check what I've sent).

You will have to enable this option to read your sent mail later on. It makes kmail not only encrypt the message with the recipients key but your own as well. See the WhatsThis help for the option. Maybe this should be reflected in the option's label somehow.
Works for me.

The WhatsThis says : if checked, the mails are saved encrypted the way they were sent; Regards, Walter Jontofsohn
Is the agent running? If you send a message to your self and you can not read that one as well, then the agent is probably not running. Please follow these instructions carefully: http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html
I still don't think this works well. The problem is what ends up in the sent folder. To me, the only reasonable way this should work is to either save the message encrypted to myself, or not encrypted at all. The current solution does not match this. Saving something in sent that we can never read is not a good plan, and users won't ever know the problem before they suddenly see a message they can't read and that they needed to read (happened to me and to the reporter). So I'm reopening this bug for a usersafe (as in safe from myself) solution.

Please follow these instructions carefully: http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html > The agent is running. The pinentry-programm asks me for the passphrase, I can send an signed&encrypted email to myself and I can read it. But, the mail which I sent to another recipient (encrypted with his public key, signed by my private key), is stored encrypted in the 'sent'-directory and is not readable for me. Regards, Walter Jontofsohn
An additional comment: I tested on the command line, which key was used to encrypt the message in the 'sent'-folder: it was actually the key of the recipient not mine, what means I have no possibillity to ever read what i've sent. Regards, Walter Jontofsohn
Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
