S/MIME Messages setting

Description

This setting specifies whether S/MIME is enabled on a BlackBerry device. If you set this setting to Allowed, a user can choose whether or not to enable S/MIME on the device. If you set this setting to Required, S/MIME is enabled on the device and cannot be disabled by the user. If you set this setting to Disallowed, S/MIME is disabled on the device and cannot be enabled by the user.

To send encrypted email messages, a user must have the recipient's public key on the device. To send digitally signed email messages, a user must have their private key on their device.
