Which enigmail-version? 0.95.7?

Which keyservers are entered in your preferences dialog? How? Usually
http/hkp Servers don't need the protocols bevore server names, e.g. my
entry in "Specify your keyserver(s)" is:

pool.sks-keyservers.net, pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de, subkeys.pgp.net

Do you have more than one keyserver in the section "Automatically
download keys...."? If yes, then restrict the entry to only one.

Does the GUI stall when manually requesting keys? Is the requested key
in your keyring after cancelling the progress dialog?
