I have a few questions about GPA.

1. It does not matter which server I pick from the list, none of them
will work. I get an 'Internal server error' every time, or it just
does nothing till I force it to end. Is this a known problem?
2. Is it supposed to work with gpg-agent? There is no way to check
the status of gpg-agent, or to make any changes to its settings. I
hear it can be locked in memory. How would this be done?
3. I do not see a way to refresh keys. That would be a nice option.
4. If I try to send mail from Mozilla/Thunderbird/Enigmail with it
using gpg-agent, it aborts saying 'gpg-agent is not available in this
session.' Session Monitor shows gpg-agent sleeping.

Forgive me if I am missing obvious things. I have been reading
everything I can find online.

it would be a bit easier to help if you explain:
Which tool are you actually using, which version on which system?
Which action did you execute that provokes the error message?

Is anyone else having the problems I am having?
I am not able to retrieve or send keys. I might be picky, but I think
that is a fatal flaw.
If it works for everyone else, then I must be doing something wrong.

Please let me know, and how do I get more information for you, if it
is just me.

Try on the command line first.
gpg --recv-keys xxxxxx

GPA has not been seen much development lately,
it might just be broken.

No.

gpg-agent --daemon
and then post the results to the command line.
I doubt that gpg-agent is the source of your problems, though.

Agreed, somebody needs to code it. :,)

Maybe Mozilla/Thunderbird/Enigmail was not started in the same shell
and is missing the correct GPG_AGENT variable.

gpg works flawlessly. It does have an option to refresh keys.
I was referencing GPA. The gui GPA is not able to contact any servers.

I can do my maintenance things using gpg from a terminal, but was
trying to get it to work from GPA.

Thanks.

Thanks for the confirmation,
I was just trying to get more information about the bug.
It seems to be bug. :(
