Help Comodo Digital Certificate

[kratos]

I have a Comodo Digital Email Certificate and use it with my own server from my PC. I would really like to get it working with my M8 so I can sign my emails from my phone.

I was able to install the certificate without problems in the Android Security settings. However, I cannot find a single option within the email app to allow me to actually use it to sign my emails.

I also tried K-9 Mail (which I used to use exclusively, but have not used for at least a year now) and was not able to find a setting in that app either.

Does anyone know if the native email app on the VZW M8 will support digital signatures and/or encryption? If it doesn't, what is a good email app that does support it?

I think I finally figured this out. Android (for some very strange reason) doesn't actually support digital signatures or encryption with email natively. Therefore, one MUST use a third party app to process encrypted or digitally signed emails.

I have checked out R2Mail2 as a possible solution and am thus far liking it. There were a couple other options (but only a couple I could find) and they either had very low reviews or were requesting permissions that just didn't make sense. In fact one of them actually tried to explain why they needed permissions to view call logs, but weren't convincing enough for me so I skipped over it.

I also have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and it supposedly supports certificates natively (something Samsung added themselves), but I guess it doesn't support S/MIME with the .p12 extension as it continues to tell me that there are no files found on my device.

If anyone has any other solutions that are better than having to use (and pay for) a 3rd party app, please do tell.

Thanks Kratos

No one has any ideas for native or better alternate S/MIME support on this HTC ONE M8?
