Being very new to Ubuntu, which I really like, I now get the following message when I try and send an email:

"gpg: skipped "xxxxxx.net": secret key not available gpg: signing failed: secret key not available ", you may need to select different mail options

Can anyone help me? I've checked my account set up, and nothing changed. I did install this evening Firewall Configuration and GIMP. Appreciate it. I'm still using version 11.04 by the way.

Hello and welcome to Ubuntu and Ask Ubuntu! Did you put in the xxxxxxx to protect private information or is that really your server? What is your email provider? – William Nov 28 '11 at 3:11

I believe you may have accidentally configured Evolution to use GPG keys. Have a look at this article - can you confirm that you have the PGP/GPG Key ID field empty in the following window:

I suspect you may accidentally entered xxxxxx.net there
