Verify the MEM client saves public certificates of contacts in the contact object by one of the following methods: 1. By saving public PKI certificates that were attached to a received email message to the contacts object. 2. By downloading the certificates via an external partner PKI lookup from the mobile device. 3. By sending a signed email to a contact that just sent a signed email. Talk to the site system administrator and have them show this capability exists in the MEM server. Also, review MEM product documentation.
