[Kolab-devel] [issue2875] Better guide the use to find S/MIME certificate manager when trying to encrypt email

[Bernhard Reiter]

New submission from Bernhard Reiter <bernhard at intevation.de>:

This is about Kontact enterprise35
and the use case that a users wants to send encrypted email to someone
whos the certificate is not yet in the local store.

The workflow currently involves many steps, which is cumbersome
and needs improvement. This issue is about the second step.
When in the key selection dialog for the local store,
the next step is to start the certificate manager (in external search mode)
via the button. Customer feedback suggests that users need more guidance
to reach that button.

E.g. a blinking button "certificate manager" and possibly a bit more text,
but about changing the string above to indicate that the selection is 
out of our local store in addition.

KDAB, 
how easy is it to make the button blinking with color when there is no
key found in the search dialog?

(a predecessor of this problem was the even more severe kolab/issue2568 (Button 
to open certificate manager is missing from encryption key dialog))
