We are trying to implement an email encryption solution for our users. Our environment is Exchange Server and Microsoft Outlook 2003. Top management at our company use BlackBerry. We chose the VeriSign Digital IDs certificate to encrypt and sign email with S/MIME in Outlook 2003.

We would like to enable email encryption on the BlackBerry devices using the same VeriSign certificates. Is this possible? If so, how do we accomplish this? Can the BlackBerry email client use the certificate to encrypt the email?
