By means of the Import tab in the key server dialog, import public keys from one of
the Internet-based key servers. Select one of the preconfigured key servers and enter a
search string (e-mail address of the communication partner) or the ID of the key to find.
When you click Search, your system connects to the Internet and searches the specified
key server for a key that matches your specifications.
