One other thing to keep in mind, your email address inside your
Certificates must match the email address Mail is configured with.

If your OSX system is properly working with your CAC reader and
CAC ID, then Apple's Mail application will allow you to sign an
email without any configuration to the Mail application. As for
encrypting, you can encrypt once you've received the recipients
public key. If you don't have the recipient's public key, have
them send you a signed email.
Once you click on New to create a new email message, you should
automatically see the options to sign and encrypt emails. These
are on the right side of the new email message window close to
the Signature pulldown.
If you don't see these options (obviously with your CAC
inserted), then you have a problem with your system working with
the CAC reader or you haven't setup the KeyChain Access program
properly.
OK, I've checked out all the advice so far....
1) Yes, the CAC works in my system. I am able to browse sites that
require CAC with Safari and all works well.
2) I Have all 3 certificates (identity, signing, and encrypting).
3) I have a "DoD CLASS 3 Root CA" under X509Anchors in Key Chain
Access. (is this enough?)
4) I am able to unlock the "smart card #2" key chain in Key Chain
Access.
5) The address in the "Account:" dropdown is the same as the
address in my certificate.
I am unsure as to how to check and make sure my certificates are
trusted. How would I do this?
I still do not have a option in the New Message window to sign (or
encrypt) the message.
The CAC card has to be in the reader before you launch Mail. The
icons are to the right of the Signature box and are easy to miss.
