Well of course not, and that is not what this question is about. ;-) You certainly don't want to sync your email account password either, nor your mothers maiden name. ;-) > Keep your private key secret and use a keyserver for the public keys. > When you have this setup IMAP is not an issue. I get the secret key part. Are you saying to forget about syncing public keys (from other's emails) and just let each client download those from a public keyserver? If so, I may be over thinking the need to sync GnuPG between devices. Hmmmm. > and BTW no one said that you should copyyour mail folder. I'm the one who brought that up, as an example, because someone (you?) was saying to copy files around from box to box. I mentioned IMAP as an alternative to copying email files/folders, and that I was looking for a similar technique for GnuPG. -Jim P.
