Installing Digital ID's on Outlook Express
OK, here go I hope I don't leave anything out.
OS: MS XP SP3, Dell XPS Laptop & Outlook 6 (6.00.2900.5512) 1) I am deployed overseas and am forced to use local national internet connections so this is what I want to do. I want to install a digital certificate so I can send and receive encrypted e-mail. Not all e-mail needs this security so I have decided to use Outlook Express for encrypted e-mail and Outlook 2007 for normal e-mail. 2) I obtained a certificate from Comodo (MS sugested) using a HOTMAIL address and I installed it according to instructions. (under Accounts, Secuity, -signing certificate & encripting certificate) I left Alogrithm at 3DES. I have also double clicked on the certificate , outside of Outlook, and installed it that way and again it states "The import was successfull..... 3) I went into Options, Security Secure Mail and ticked both Encrpt contents & ticked Digitally sign all. Clicked apply then ok. Here I thought all should be done. So I go to send a message and I get the following "Outlook Express was unable to locate the digital IDs of the following recipients" Meaning the e-mail address I was sending to. I am given the option to "Don't Encrypt or Cancel" I went back and checked "Tools, Options, Security, Digital IDs" NO Digital IDs are shown. OK I import the ID again and get "The import was successful" Go back and NO Certificate IDs are there. What am I doing worng???? I don't usually ask for help but I have beaten this dead horse to death and can't figure it out.... The error I am getting is saying it can't find the digital ID of the person I am sending the e-mail to. Next I say OK I won't encrypt it I will just send the ID to the receipent (my other e-mail account) and I get the error "The message could not be sent. {next line} An err has occurred." If you need the digital ID before you can send a signed/encrypted e-mail how are you supposed to send the ID.. HELP Thank you all in advance for your help from an old IT guy... -- Mike |

Installing Digital ID's on Outlook Express
~wave @Peter~
OS: MS XP SP3, Dell XPS Laptop & Outlook 6 (6.00.2900.5512) Outlook and Outlook Express are not the same thing so be careful with your shorthand references, please. There is no "Outlook 6;" v6.00.2900.5512 points to OE6 running in WinXP SP2 and higher. I have a hunch that you may to want to access your Hotmail account in OE via POP3 (instead of WebDAV/HTML) for this to work as expected. See http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions...k-express.aspx Did you read?... QP To send encrypted messages, your Address Book must contain digital IDs for the recipients. /QP Source: OE Help: Sending secure messages Now, please see OE Help: Obtain a digital ID and add it to your e-mail account. I'd also highly recommend reading all of the Related Topics linked in each of the above Help sections (e.g., Advanced security information; Send a digitally signed or encrypted message; Automatically digitally sign or encrypt messages). ============= = Mike, when you reply to my post, please eliminate the crosspost to OL Installation newsgroup. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ "K9 Trainer" wrote: OK, here go I hope I don't leave anything out.

Installing Digital ID's on Outlook Express
i didn't mean to **** anybody off and I didn't mean to do what ever a cross
post is. I went o MS and found Outlook groop and put in my question. I am not an Outlook expert and if you read my post you will se I am talking about OE not Outlook. I have set up my Outlook "EXPRESS" and it does use pop and that works well, if you read my post, you will see that. AGAIN, I am sorry if I did anything wrong and posted to the wrong group. A simple "This is the wrong group, you should post your question here." would have done instead of the sarcasim. I did everything I could to post a question with all the pertenant information. I must say I could answer 8 out of 10 questions on this board but I get negitive, derogitory comments. I guess now I remember why I quit the IT business, you guys need to lighten up and try to help instead of trying to knock somebody down.... AGAIN, I AM SORRY IF I POSTED TO THE WORNG GROUP. I DO APPRECIATE THE RESPONSES THAT I GOT THAT WERE AIMED AT HELPING.. Mike "K9 Trainer" wrote: OK, here go I hope I don't leave anything out.

Installing Digital ID's on Outlook Express
Yes, my account works fine and it is set to POP3, NOT webDAV/HTML. My only
problem is with the certificates and encryption.. I did read all the helps in OE and it appears to be a catch 22. Again, if I can't send encrypted e-mail to person A without having person A's ID and vise versa how do we originally get each others ID's? What I understood from the help and cert. installation instructions was that if I sent an e-mail to person A and included my ID, not encrypted, that person A could then add me to thier contact list along with my ID, but that is not working.....
