Enigmail's Key manager said:

gpgkeys: key 359EA47F not found on keyserver
gpg: solicitando clave 0x359EA47F de hkp servidor pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: no se han encontrados datos OpenPGP válidos
(no valid OpenPGP data found)
gpg: Cantidad total procesada: 0

  So I figure it failed... could it be just bad luck? I mean,
pool.sks... is a cluster of servers, and sometimes a server fails to
syncronize and it is excluded... maybe the key was sent to a server
right before it was excluded?

  I think you have 2 options: to send it to another server (pool.sks...
should select an "alive" server, and I don't think you can have bad luck
twice in a row), or even better, to send it to an specific server, like
wwwkeys.de.pgp.net . That way, we can search the key in the server we
know it should be (even if it doesn't sync with the other servers), and
if it is not found, then we will know the problem is in your side...
even if we don't know what is the problem.

  And the other option would be to export the public key, copy it to a
usb flash memory stick, or attach to an email message, retrieve it at
your home, import it and upload it from your home computer.

 Best Regards
