SMIME install in Thunderbird
I have several iterations of installing SMIME on my email account. I know the pf12 file is valid and it works on all my Android systems. However, when I try to send a digitally signed email on Thunderbird under Ubuntu, I get the message that either the SMIME certificate cannot be found or it has expired even though I went through the correct process to install it (and it shows up on the End to End Encryption settings) and when I display it, it indicates an expiry date of 2027. I have also tried to bundle it with the intermediate certificate but I still get the same error. I even tried to create my own personal SMIME certificate and use it (using SSL) and it had the same issue. Anyone have any suggestions?
This is the error I get: "Sending of the message failed. You specified that this message should be digitally signed, but the application either failed to find the signing certificate specified in your Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings, or the certificate has expired."
Do I need to put the SMIME certificate in a specific folder in order for it to be "re-found"

I resolved this issue by creating a new PF12 file including the CA Bundle. That took a minute!
openssl pkcs12 -export -in user.crt -inkey private_key.pem -certfile CA_Bundle.crt -out user_cert.p12
