IMHO it is a good idea to assume by default, the only address book shall be used for that. I for example did assume IMP would behave that way. You can set a system wide default value for this preference, like with any other preference.

That is correct. Now that I have done that all the public keys in my address-book appear. (I'll review issues ~~#2670~~ ~~#2672~~ with the new settings and comment them if anything changed.) IMHO it is a good idea to assume by default, the only address book shall be used for that. I for example did assume IMP would behave that way. (Please, drop a line on closing this ticked whether I have to create a new one about the default behaviour of IMP/Turba.)

You probably didn't set a default address book to add new addresses (and keys) in your imp preferences.

Install the given IMP-version and Turba 2.0.3. Activate PGP/GPG-support. Now, try to import some valid public keys. IMP will always complain about "invalid address book". It makes no difference whether an entry for the key's email exists.
