Read encrypted eMails on iPad - supported ??

Hi folks,
I am trying to read encrypted eMails (with X.509 certificates) in my iPad, but I only see and attahcment displayed in the eMail and iPad says, it can't read the message.
All works fine on my MAC, I followed the guidelines in the respective document from Apple how to deply and install certificates to an iPhone/iPad, but i only found hints about using certificates fro connecting to servers or VPN, but no explicit statement about encrypting the eMails.
After the certificate installation, I saw the new identities created, but with the result described above. Does anybody have an idea about it ??
Many tx.
Cheers
Kbe

same problem here installed the certificates and then when get a encrypted email I can see the sender and the subject but only contents is a file that cannot open/read....

How do I use outlook digital id's to read encrypted email?

I'm strugging with this one. I have an exchange account that makes use of digital ID's to encrypt email using MS Digifal ID's. Is there a location or feature on the iPhone4 where I can use the imported ID to let me read email that's been encrypted with s/mime on the iphone4?

OR... *sorry" is there a third party application that I can put on the iPhone4 to allow me to do this?

Sending encrypted emails from the iPad is not working

I can't get sending encrypted emails working on my iPad3 running iOS 8.0.2
Let me explain what I did:
1. I created S/MIME certificates for 2 email addresses on my iMac in Keychain Access. One email address exists only on the iMac the other only on the iPad.
2. I set "When using this certificate" to "Always Trust" in both certificates.
3. I exported 1 S/MIME certificate (p12) and installed it on the iPad. Then I deleted this certificate and its private&public keys in iMac Keychain Access
4. I exchanged public certificates between the 2 devices. I installed one certificate in iMac Keychain Access and the other in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles.
5. On the iMac in the iPad certificate I set "When using this certificate" to "Always Trust"
6. I tested whether I can send and receive signed and/or encrypted emails
Results:
1. From the iMac I can send signed and/or encrypted emails to the iPad.
    On the iPad I can read the encrypted emails. The signature is not trusted
2. On the iPad I can send signed messages to the iMac. On the iMac the signature is trusted.
    I cannot send encrypted emails from the iPad to the iMac. The iPad doesn't know about the public certificate in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles
So much for the straight forward part. Now it gets a bit more complicated and confusing.
1. I deleted the iMac certificate in the iPad/Settings/General/Profiles. Then in iPad Mail I opened the signed mail coming from the iMac.
    I viewed the untrusted certificate in Mail and installed it. From this point on all signed emails from the iMac are trusted.
    Strangely the by this method installed certificate doesn't appear in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles.
    Furthermore I still cannot send encrypted messages to the iMac. This certificate installation seems to be used only to check trust worthiness of the signature.
    Installing on top the iMac public certificate in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles doesn't enable to send encrypted messages from the iPad either.
To be sure that this problem relates to the iPad certificate management and is not related to an error by me I did the following:
1. I transferred a p12 file for a certificate that I created in my iMac to a PC running Windows7.
2. I transferred a p12 file plus its public key (.pem) that I created in my iMac to another iMac into Keychain Access. (I have not tested if the pem is needed).
3. On the other iMac and the PC I made sure that the certificates are trusted.
    On the PC that means in the Certificate Manager the p12 needs to be in the "Personal" folder and in the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" folder.
    The public keys need to be in the "Trusted People" folder and the "Other People" folder. One can just copy/paste the certificates.
4. In both cases I deleted the certificate and public/private keys on my iMac.
5. I exchanged public certificates between the devices.
6. I tested exchanging signed and/or encrypted emails between my iMac and the PC and my iMac and the other iMac.
Result:
1. I can send signed and/or encrypted emails to the other iMac and the PC
2. The PC and the other iMac trust the signature from my iMac and can read the encrypted emails
3. My iMac can read encrypted emails from the PC and the other iMac
4. My iMac trusts emails with signatures from the PC and the other iMac.
Everything is working as it should.
After the above test I wanted to see whether I can set up encrypted email exchange between the iPad and the PC. Strangely iPad Mail recognized the public certificate from the PC installed in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles and allowed me to send an encrypted email to the PC. However, on the PC I was unable to read the encrypted email. And the other way around, encrypted emails send from the PC to the iPad cannot be read on the iPad.
My conclusion from all this testing is that iPad mail encryption is still "under construction".

I was able to resolve the above described problem to some degree. Setting up sending and receiving encrypted emails between iOS and OSX I have working.
What is still not working is reading encrypted emails on the iPad/iOS8 received from Windows 7 PC. And sending encrypted emails to Windows 7 PC.
The details about how I solved part of the problem are described here.

Reading encrypted mail (S/mime) on iPhone

This topic was archived last year, but I never saw a response.....
Does anybody know a way to read encrypted email on iPhone? This works great in Mac OS X Mail (leopard) using Thawte certificates but the emails are unreadable when sync'd with iphone. What is the work-around? This seems to be a MAJOR glitch. If people depend on secure email and ALSO depend on being mobile, this is a NECESSITY.
If not yet possible, can anyone confirm this will be part of the 2.0 upgrade (not just an encrypted portal, but truly reading and even possibly writing encrypted and signed email using the designated email certificate)?

Those people use BlackBerry devices.
Yes, but with features like the requested S/mime encryption in conjunction with the proposed new VPN/cisco upgrades after the June update, the transmission security issue would essentially be complete. Therefore, there would be no more need for the Blackberry -

Obtaining previously read emails on iPad/iPhone on my Mac

Hi,
Quick question that I am sure some setting or preference will clear up. When I read an email that is newly received on my iPad or iPhone while I am work, I would like to be able to read it on my Mac as well. However, if I have already read that piece of mail, once I get home and open Mail on my Mac, that mail won't be downloaded to the Mac...in fact, it acts as if it isn't there at all, even though the already read message is visible within the browser-based iCloud application. I have run into this before with other mail services where there is some option to not download already read messages or some such. Anyone have any ideas how to remedy this?

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

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.

TS4208 Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting

Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting? All mail account are IMA. iCloud is set to push, business mail is set to fetch every 15 minutes.

Read thier own support document on the subject then
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
That's how it works, and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

When I read an email on my iPad it remains unread on my macbook. How do I get it to "read" the e-mail on both?

When I read an email on my iPad it remains unread on my macbook. How do I get it to "read" the e-mail on both?

I ahve this problem too, my macbook is set up as an imap account for gmail, say I get an email and it shows as new in my gmail, iphone and macbook, and I then read it in my gmail, it is marked read on my iphone but stays as unread on my macbook.
This is really annoying as if I read emails during the day on another computer I can come back to them all being new on the macbook.
Is there a fix for this?

I am unable to open encrypted emails using webmail and a CAC reader. It says "content can't be displayed because the S/MIME control isn't available." I'm using a Macbook Pro with 10.10 OS and have tried both Safari and Chrome.

I am using a Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I am unable to open encrypted emails using webmail. I have verified my certificates are loaded in the keychain for my military common access card while using a CAC reader. When I try to view the message it gives me the error saying "content can't be displayed because the S/MIME control isn't available."

Notification Center after read email on iPad, on iPhone still is displayed as unread

Hi,
Sice some time I've got issue with newest iOS (7.1.2).
I use iPhone and iPad , both are configured with iCloud email.
When I receive a new email, it appear on both devices in notification center - that is very good.
But when I read this email on one device (no matter if it is an iPhone or iPad) - on second device it is still displayed in notification center !
Also when I unlock this second device , I've got unread badge count on Mail icon, which tells me that I've got 1 new unread email !
I need to open email application , then for a few seconds I can see that email, and when email app finish to sync - this email is marked as read.
The same thing happens when I archaive / delete email from the first device.
As far as I remember, with gmail account I didn't had such issues...
Anyone has simmilar issues with email app on iCloud ? This thing takes me crazy
Thanks
Daniel

I've found out that this is by design.
Email Application offer push-notification, but read action is not populated to the Cloud.
So Mail app needed to be opened manually each time you want to refresh it status ...
That is not a good information...
As far as I remember, google had that work quite long ago properly (of course on iOS and inside Mail.app)

Does Adobe Reader for iOS and Android Support Encryption with PKI Solution?

Hello there,
I have been searching for an answer whether or not Adobe Reader for iOS and Android can read encrypted PDF files by public key infrastructure solution (encrypted by a public key, to be decrypted by its private key pair), but to date I have not found the answer. From the Adobe web site, I understand that Adobe Reader for Android supports to read encrypted document by AES256 but it does not mention about PKI. I had to guess that it does not support encryption with PKI but I would just like to get a formal answer, and would like to know whether Adobe Reader Mobile will support it.
Thanks!
Masaya

Hi there,
Now we have Acrobat DC Mobile but I am still wondering if encryption/description using PKI solution (digital certificates) is supported. Could anyone let me know? Thank you.

In which case, clearly communicating the intent would have been a better solution. The steps do apply. A more appropriate response would have been "tried that, no change".
Regardless of whether they fixed the problem or not, they do apply.
If English is not your native language, I would strongly encourage you to post in your native language going forward.
If basic troubleshooting has not resolved the issue, the next step is to take the device to Apple for evaluation.

After I upgraded to ios6 , my iPad gmail was something wrong because it always hang and switch off the App automatically . It is very irritating . Please let me know how to solve this problem because I have to read my email everyday . Thanks .

Double tap Home button, delete Mail from multitask-bar.
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.
