Managing the Digital IDs in Outlook Express

Outlook Express lets you store Digital IDs from anyone who sends you a signed message. You can then view the Digital IDs, verify the information in the ID, or remove the ID from your computer.

To save someone's Digital ID from a signed message:

Open Outlook Express and view the signed e-mail message.

Choose File > Properties from the menu.

Click the Security tab, and then click Add Digital ID to Address Book.

To delete someone's Digital ID from Outlook Express:

Open the Address Book by clicking the icon in the tool bar or choosing Tools > Address Book from the menu.
Select the person whose Digital ID you want to delete, and then click the Properties icon.
In the dialog box that appears, select the Digital ID, if the person has more than one. Typically, there is only one Digital ID for each person, but there might be multiple IDs. Click the Remove button and then confirm the removal of their Digital ID.

Once you delete the Digital ID, you cannot send encrypted e-mail to that person.
