   Hi frostbyte,

   welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

   Please excuse the late reply, we are deeply sorry for not responding earlier. The amount of feedback we received in regards to the GPG Suite 2018.4 release was overwhelming. We are doing our best to catch up as fast as we can.

   Can you open System Preferences > GPG Suite Preferences and select a key server in the dropdown?

   Is the key server selection accepted and does it persist if you close and re-open System Preferences > GPG Suite Preferences?

   And if it sticks, does the key search then work?

   Best,
   Steve
