# Public S/MIME Certificate List

The Public S/MIME Certificate List is a stored collection of public keys from correspondents within the URZ Groupware E-Mail module.

## Functionality
- **Automatic Population**: The list is populated when the user receives a digitally signed email; the system recognizes the signature and allows the user to store the sender's certificate.
- **Purpose**: These stored certificates are required to perform asymmetric encryption when sending emails back to those correspondents.
- **Management**: Users can manage this list (viewing or deleting certificates) via the "Additional Options" menu in the Groupware email interface.
