Digital ID Reguirement???

[Ken]

I've been using Windows mail for a couple weeks now with no problems except
for today. When I clicked send, I got a message saying, "To send a signed
or encrypted message, you must first obtain a digital ID for this account."
The message wasn't "signed" nor "encrypted". Why has this happened and how
can I correct the problem? Thanks.

Sorry, we don't give those out.
What makes you think you need a digital ID?

please help, i need a digital id.

In Windows Mail, go to "Help | View Help". In the search box at the top,
enter "digital id". Select "Using digital IDs to sign or encrypt Windows
Mail messages". There are instructions there.

hello everyone!

I see you posted with a Hotmail account.
In February, Microsoft enabled POP access for free Hotmail/Live/MSN accounts.
Follow the settings given here:
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry
Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.

Although it accepts the newer Live.com addresses, Windows Mail's
account setup wizard is hard-coded to reject Hotmail and MSN addresses.
To get around that, when you enter your Hotmail/MSN email address initially,
use a fake one, such as (e-mail address removed). After the account setup is complete,
go back and correct your email address.
