I would like to configure Outlook to sign outgoing messages. However, I'm not
sure how to import my certificate. I've already have a Storage folder and a
server certificate on my device for connecting to OWA and using active sync.
Can I just copy my signing cert into that folder, or do I need to run
SpAddCert again? Any pitfalls I should be aware of (like messing up my OWA
connection)?

SpAddCert is only used to add root certificates. Your certificate is a
client certificate, most likely a PFX file since you also need the
associated private key. On WM6 you can import a PFX certificate by simply
clicking on it. Client certificates are stored in a separate certificate
store and should not affect your OWA connection.

Unfortunetly, I have WM5, but I did find the solution. There's a 3rd party
utility called PFXimprt by Jacco de Leeuw that does the trick. Not sure why
WM5 supports certificates but offers no way of importing them, but I guess
that's why there's a WM6 :)
