It's a bug. I have reported it to the authors and they are looking into it. I found that the 
problem is that PMMail Pro will not create a keyrings from scratch but will use public and 
secret keyrings you may have from elsewhere. The work around is to create the keyrings 
with any other PGP program and then point PMMail (PMMail/Properties) to those 
keyrings. You can then use PMMail Pro to add new keys to these keyrings.
