Hi ! Would you be sure that the certificate issued by GeoTrust uses the right format, you may want to check the following points : • Is the Keychain in which your certificate is stored really imported in the Keychain Access application ? • Is the certificate issued for the e-mail address that you are trying to use ? • Do the address printed on the certificate and the one used by Mail.app use use the same capitalization structure ? Let me know if this helps ! F.J.

  I just have the the private key and cert in my login Keychain.
  So I have one item in the keychain called "Timothy Brown's GeoTrust Inc. ID" and for kind it says "private key, RSA, 2048-bit"
  
  Then I have another item called "Timothy Brown", Its common name is "Timothy Brown" and email is "sysop@timb.us" I checked these against whats in mail.app and it is correct...
  
  Everything appears to be correct..it just doesn't work.. I've tried it on my iBook as well, no go.. :-/
  
  The sad thing is I payed $20 for this cert.. (The GeoTrust cert uses a voice verify system so its a tad more "secure")

  I had the same issue, because I chose to get my cert from cacert.org rather than verisign. This page has the fix:

  Hope that helps.
