S/MIME support for K-9 Mail Android

[lufu]

Hello,

I'm using K-9 since years and don't plan on switching because it's the best mail client available for Android - thank you for developing this awesome client btw!

I would love to see support for S/MIME as it's growing importance, especially in business communication. For example the company I work for requires using S/MIME for every mail containing personal data, which means that technically I have to use S/MIME already when I just mention anyones name in an email, which makes K-9 unusable for a lot of business communication right now.

Kind regards

I'm in the same situation. For me, it would be very importante having S/MIME in K9.

Currently neither the K-9 App nor the Thunderbird App (on Android at least) offers S/MIME, only PGP.

It would be super handy to have our certificates on there, for when we don't have access to a PC but urgently need to send information.

Not me realising I just made the same feature request for Thunderbird Mobile, which is effectively the same thing... Thanks for making this post!

Just for reference: See also SMileCE, a an extension for SMile (an inactive fork off K-9 Mail) for S/MIME.

I'd like an option like on Thunderbird desktop, where you can sign unencrypted emails as well, so that they show up as being verified.

Unfortunately Thunderbird under Android is not an option for me without this capability.
