MY apologies, I hadn't expected to be treated like the moron down

this problem, and for some assistance.
The email address may also be case-sensitive, I may have seen
something about that somewhere.
Trying to explain why the logic has almost always been wrong in my
experience based on the provided information.
Originally you didn't say you could see 3 certificates on the card or
that you had manually sighted the two email address on the CAC card
and nothing about the identify certificate. Given that we had well
over a 50% error rate on those items hard to assume your CAC card is
any better.
I have seen that precise problem dozens of times, in fact nearly our
entire division of one hundred people had that problem, by the time
they were required to use their CAC cards for email they had also
been required to standardize on a new email address and none had a
clue as to what they had originally written down (that's not counting
the ones with only one certificate). Only saving factor is most were
using an email client that does not care what email address is
associated with the CAC card.
So you have looked at all three certificates and confirmed that the
listed email address is yours on two of the certificates and you are
using precisely the same pattern of capitalization.
Try the fed-talk archives, a lot of information is included in there,
entourage and CAC should limit you to very few messages.
Why entourage thinks two certificates can be used for signing is a
mystery since only one is labeled for signing.
I know what certificates are included on my CAC, entourage see all
3 certificates, and is guessing on which certificate is correct for
signing, since two certs have that in their available use list (it
puts a diamond next to it in the drop down box). Besides, I tried
the identity certificate, even though it spit out the warning. No
guessing required for encryption since there is only one available
for that purpose.
So you accomplished more that 99% of the people in my division, CAC
cards are not easy, the last renewal disabled dozens of people, the
Windows support contractor and our Linux experts initially couldn't
get their new cards to work however those same cards came up fine
under OS X.
