Send encrypted email with Mail?
I noticed this article regarding using certificates to send encrypted emails from the Mail app. However, it's outdated and no longer supported by Apple. Do you guys know if 10.7.3 works the same way? Basically, I want to use a secure certificate to encrypt my outgoing email messages. I'm running 10.7.3.
Thanks!
It still works the same way. You can get a free signing certificate, valid for one year and suitable for personal use, from startssl.com.

When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?
Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
Thanks

Problem when send an email with mail client!
Hi!
My mail server have MTA front end and Message Store back end with version:
./imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7u2-7.02 64bit (built Apr 16 2009)
libimta.so 7u2-7.02 64bit (built 02:28:03, Apr 16 2009)
Using /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/config/imta.cnf (compiled)
SunOS SMSG 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pcMy users and I are having problem following: Send an email very slow, mail client is connected to front end but mail is not delivered, after that, I stop and resend this email several times then it is can delivered. While the mail was not send, i can telnet to front end with port 25. My users and I are using Thunderbird and Microsoft Outlook. What is problem on my mail server ?
I see time on MTA front end and Message Store are not synchronized, maybe this could be the problem?

I am having problems sending encrypted email using Mail 2.1. I have imported my certificate file into my keychain. The certificate, encryption and decryption keys appear in my login keychain. If I am reading the mail how-to correctly I should simply need to click on the compose mail icon where I should see the icons to sign or encrypt the email message. I do not see these icons. The interesting thing is that I seem to be able to receive encrypted messages. (Incoming encrypted messages are visible and show the security: encrypted identifier in the header) I am guessing that I am missing something in the way my certificate is installed/ configured. Unfortunately, I am not having any luck figuring out what I am missing. Any suggestions?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)I have not tested sending encrypted email with Apple's Mail application yet, but I think I can shed some light on your problem. Encryption requires knowledge of the recipients' public keys, which is part of the recipients' certificates, not just your own certificate.
Check out http://www.joar.com/certificates/. Specifically, it states:
The easiest way to let Mail know that a recipient has a certificate, and to give Mail access to that certificate, is to have that recipient first send you a signed message (not encrypted, just signed). Mail will automatically store the certificates it receives in the Keychain for future reference.
The encrypt button will not be visible when the recipient doesn't have a certificate, or if it has one but you don't have a copy of the certificate stored in your Keychain.

HT204490 Problem encrypting email with iMail after downloading 10.10.3 OS X
After installing 10.10.3 OS X, my colleague and I both lost our ability to send encrypted email with iMail. Sending encrypted email is part of our regular day job so the loss was immediately noticeable after installing 10.10.3. We can digitally sign an email, but no ability to encrypt. I've already deleted my certificates and reinstalled to no avail. Any other thoughts?

I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving is not a problem. Creating a mail is also not a problem and the mail will be stored at mail.ru as still to be send, only problem is its not possible to send. I noticed the buttons for sending change colour when used but they don't perform. What it is?
Don't know what changed, but all of a sudden able to send emails by mail.ru ...... sorry for bothering.

My "Postmaster" keeps attempting to send an email with one or two corrupt email addresses, or non existent address and I do not know which one it is. How do I stop it attempting further deliveries?
I don't know for sure this is what will work, but set up separate SMTP servers for each Gmail account, using your specific logins for each.
On the Account page in Preferences, Account Information, select Edit SMTP Server List from the Outgoing mail Server (smtp) popup menu.
Copy the current one for Gmail and edit it to use the necessary login information.
For each account, select the desired smtp server and set the checkbox to only use that server.
When you reply or compose a new message, make sure From indicates the correct account. -

Mail hangs sending an email, with attachment, to some Address Book entries
I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Mail hangs when I send an email (with an attachment) to some contacts in my Address Book. If there isn't an attachment then it works fine.
If I type in their full email address (i.e. not their name) into the To: field, it sends it just fine.
Any suggestions please?I am seeing the same thing with SL but without an attachment. If I create a new email and type an email address in the To field then either hit tab or enter the programs freezes for around 8 seconds.
I wonder if it is trying to lookup/verify the address with an external server? Apple mail is attached to an Exchange 2007 server here as well as Gmail. My address book contains both local and Exchange contacts.
For me the problem seems to be intermittent.

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. -
Unable to send encrypted emails
I am unable to send encrypted emails, no encrypted icon appears in Mail.
On my Keychain Access: Keychains: SYSTEM and under Category, Certificates I note that I have a valid certificate, from Verisign.
There is a setting for Trust. Should this be changed? Is there a problem with V10.7?Please see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3197674
