  1. Click the 'Edit' button
  2. Select the boxes for both trust to ID sites
  3. Trust to ID email users.
  4. Do this for all the certificates under the U.S. Government heading
Select the appropriate certificate for signing and encrypting
  1. From 'Edit/Preferences', click on 'Mail Accounts', select your previously configured AKO/DKO account (either POP or IMAP)
  2. Click the 'Edit' button
  3. Click the 'Security' tab
  4. Under the 'Secure MIME (S/MIME)' heading, select both the signing and encryption certificates, and any of the option check boxes desired.
