That is a great job of documentation. I'm still not clear on why you are
clearing the token cache and copying the public certs to your keychain. I
understand that you can't get it to work for you any other way, but I'd like
to understand what is happening there.
Also note that email address matching is case sensitive with Apple mail. You
might want to add that little tidbit to your documentation for folks that
have their email addresses recorded as ALL CAPS!
