Certificate Update Emails

---

Certificate Update Emails ensure both sender and recipient are updated with each others certificates - a time consuming and complex responsibility that is usually placed on the individuals involved. This area allows you to specify precisely how SecureEmail should handle these certificate exchange notifications.

• Add notification to email I send to inform my contacts that I don't have their email certificate. - If you do not have your contacts email certificate already installed, then this setting will add a header to your outgoing emails that requests their certificate.

• If Your contact already has SecureEmail installed, their installation of SecureEmail will detect the header in your email and, depending on your contact's choice in the section 'My Email Certificate', will automatically reply to you with a signed email to facilitate the certificate exchange. Similarly, the section 'Other peoples email certificates' allows you to choose how your installation of SecureEmail should react when it receives the reply.
  
  
• If Your contact does not have SecureEmail installed, the header cannot be detected. However, if you have encrypted the message with a single use certificate then your contact will receive instructions on (i) how to download their own copy of the application (ii) how to decrypt and read the mail. Once installed, their copy of SecureEmail will detect the header in your original mail and automatically reply with a signed email.
  
  

Note: This header can only be read and understood by installations of SecureEmail and you must digitally sign the outgoing mail for this setting to take effect. For security reasons, this header is not added to outgoing plain text emails. Comodo recommends that users leave this option enabled.

Other people's email certificates

The drop-down options here enable you to set how you want SecureEmail to react when it detects that someone has sent you their email certificate in a signed message.

• Prompt - SecureEmail will generate a pop-up dialog asking you if you want to install the sender's certificate. Clicking 'Yes' will automatically import the sender's certificate into the Window's certificate store. From this point on you can encrypt for that contact using that certificate.
  
  
• Automatic - SecureEmail installs the new certificate automatically. From this point on you can encrypt for that contact using that certificate.
  
  
• Do not install - Disregards the new certificate. User's will have to manually import any new certificates that are sent to them.
