Mail does not allow signed message with .Mac certificate

Hi all,
until a few weeks ago, I was able to send signed or encrypted message with my .Mac account and .Mac certificate. Both of them are still valid, and I can still read all messages I sent as encrypted and/or signed, however, Mail does not show the two buttons to crypt and/or sign emails. The certficate seems to work to encrypt iChat dialogs as well.
I repaired my Keychain, looked at how certficates were configured, everything seems normal to me.
Any clue ??

Well, it seems that we've come across something finally.
In comparing notes, my friend (who is currently able to sign and encrypt messages) and I were comparing notes on our respective certificates. In doing so, he pointed out that he'd noticed a difference in the PURPOSE of my cert versus his cert.
His cert shows the following purposes:
1 - Client Authentication
2 - Email Protection
3 - Apple .Mac Identity
4 - Apple iChat Signing
5 - Apple iChat Encryption
Whereas mine only shows these purposes:
1 - Client Authentication
2 - Apple iChat Signing
3 - Apple iChat Encryption
Another thing I noticed while comparing his cert to mine after he pointed this out...his cert is due to expire at the end of October. Mine, on the other hand, was created this past Friday.
Now, from what I understand, these certs expire one year from date of issue, unless they are revoked earlier. So, I suppose the big question to everyone else out there that is having trouble with using their .Mac issued certificates is "When did yours get renewed?".
I'm suspecting at this point that somewhere around the end of June the certificates issued by Apple for iChat signing suddenly stopped having the "Purpose" of mail protection. It would also seem that they suddenly stopped having the purpose of .Mac Identity.
Now I'm curious why Apple would do this, make it actually relatively easy to create a cert that could be used for iChat and Mail encryption, then suddenly take it away. Is this actually what has happened here?
I'd be really interested in seeing what the renewal dates are and the corresponding "Purposes" are for many of the folks that are reporting trouble with this very issue.
If you are one of those people who had mail encryption working using your .mac certificate, and it suddenly stopped working...feel free to post your cert information here.
To get the ball rolling, here's the information from mine...
Issued By:
- Apple .Mac Certificate Authority
Expires:
- September 14, 2007
Purposes:
- Client Authentication
- Apple iChat Signing
- Apple iChat Encryption

  • IPad 2 mail does not allow a gmail imap configuration.  Why?

    iPad 2 mail does not allow a gmail imap configuration.  Why?

    It does, but you can do better then that. You can set gmail as exchange, it will give you even more options.
    The only thing that you need to know additional to regular stuff, is that instead of gmail you have to use Microsoft Exchange, and the name of google server is m.google.com. Instructions right here.

    product version from ECC to ERP 2004 using SMSY_SWITCH_PRODUCT, there is no inconsistency.
    Edited to add product instances - Portal Content and Enterprise Portal to link to XKP (JAVA system with Adobe Document Services, Application Server Java and  Enterprise Portal. It is now showing in SMSY with the following product instances.
    - SA ECC Server 
    -  Portal content, pointing to another JAVA system XKP
    -  SAP  NW - Entreprise Portal - pointing to XKP also

    Hello,
    The document 'How to install EHP4' has the following
    ...' If you are combining the installation of SAP enhancement package 4 with an upgrade, you have to register the system according to the start release.'
    Since it was ECC 5.0 and converted the product version (using SMSY_SWITCH_PRODUCT), it is 'SAP ERP 2004'.
    The MOPZ log below, the first 4 lines are coming out as red

  • Using a Mac, Firefox does not allow me to use the vertical scroll bar real-time in Godaddy webmail. It lags and jumps. Godaddy says it is a browser issue. Does not happen in Safari with Mac OS 10.4.11 or on PC w/windows vista.

    The problem is not my server (Comcast) as it does not happen on Safari when trying different websites as well as Godaddy.com or my Godaddy webmail. The problem is only when using my Mac OS X 10.4.11 (not my Windows Vista PC) in Firefox. I only began noticing this recently. Godaddy says this is a browser issue with my Mac as they cannot replicate it.

  • I want to reinstall firefox version 4; 5 does not allow google toolbar with credit card autofill

    I am using FF 5 and want to use google toolbar autofill for credit cards. Google tells me it does not support version 5 for this add on.

    Firefox 4 was replaced by Firefox 5 and is no longer supported.
    *Security and stability issues in Firefox 4 will not be updated in Firefox 4; '''those issues have been fixed in Firefox 5'''.
    *Only 2 Firefox versions are currently supported: Firefox 3.6.19 (support to end soon) and Firefox 5.
    *Firefox 3.6.20 (replacing 3.6.19) and Firefox 6 (replacing Firefox 5) are scheduled to be released on 08/16/2011 (subject to change).
    There are some suggestions in the articles that follow to replace some functions of the Google toolbar.
    '''<u>Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox beyond Firefox 4</u>'''. <br>
    Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

  • OVi Player does not allow download music with prox...

    Hello,
     i've noticed that OVI Player deos not allow to download music when I am inside the firewall or under a corporate proxy. ANy idea if this is a restriction from Nokia Player or is it specific to my connection ?

    Dear svenks,
    If you scroll down the discussion topics, you will realise many other users are facing music download problem after upgrading from Nokia Music to Ovi Player.
    Same for me, whether I connect my WinXP Prof 32-bit notebk behind my company firewall or at my home's ADSL broadband with Windows Firewall off, antivirus off, http://music.ovi.com set as trusted site, the downloading still fails.
    Per advised by Nokia careline, I have already sent them a log file and now waiting for their investigation.
    I wonder if anyone in the world is currently successful in downloading songs using Ovi Player. If yes, I would really like to know what PC configuration they are running under.

  • My iPad 1 mail does not always sync completely through iCloud

    Background: Over the last week or so I have noticed that my iPad mail does not always sync completely with either mail on my iPhone or iMac.  It receives all messages but does not always delete or file them as managed on either on my iMac or iPhone.  My iPad and iPhone mail settings are the same and set to "push".  My iPhones does not have this issue.  All other syncs such as addresses, calendar and photo stream seem to work just fine.  Is this due to my iPad mail settings or an Apple iCloud issue?

    Do you have Sync Books selected in the Books Tab in iTunes?

  • Mail does not recognize my new changed password

    so i had my ipad stolen today and I changed my passwords to both of my email addresses. For some reason mail does not want to sync with my gmail. It says that I have wrong username or password. My iphone doesnt accept it either... But i am able to log in in my browser. Any ideas?

    Hello,
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
    Should be 2 for each account, in & out, but possible to have duplicates of those.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

    From which account does the email not send?  When sending from an account, the iPad will first try to use the aoutgoing server for that account.  If it can't it will try the other accounts listed.in the setting on the iPad for that account.  It soulds like the server for the account is not working and that the alternate server is resjecting the messag since it did not originate ffrom the account associated with that server,  That is to prevent sending spam.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
