You can import/install your personal S/MIME certificate by doing the following. Important: you must first set a master password if you have not already done so. The master password is needed so that imported certificates are stored securely. If you need instructions for setting a master password, look here.
- In Thunderbird, go to "Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Certificates -> Manage Certificates...". (In Mozilla Suite, go to "Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Certificates -> Manage Certificates...".)
- Make sure that you are on the "Your Certificates" tab.
- Click on "Import".
- Select the PCKS12 cert.
- It will ask you for the master password for the software security device. Enter your master password and click "OK".
- Next, it will ask you for the password protecting your personal certificate. Enter this password and click "OK".
You should have now imported your S/MIME certificate. If your certificate was not trusted, look here.
