I got a new N73 a week ago and have since then tried to install the secure certificate issued by my MS Outlook server (outlook web access) to access exchange so that I can work Nokia's Mail for Exchange.
Now - this certificate is valid since on my previous phone (not symbian based - it installed and worked fine.)
I have followed several resources online and none work. I have exported .cer files and .der files.
To get the certificate files to the phone is not the issue. It's once they reach the phone that the problem starts. Only base-64 encoded x509.cer files show as "readable" files on the handset. Problem though that these files only open with a notepad reader. I want to install the certificate, not read the thing.
Am I just being stupid here or what but I have called several of the Nokia support centers (South Africa and United Kingdom) and they don't know how to install such on an N73 either... ???
Is there any hope out there ?

The icon should show up as a light blue background (round circle) with a questionmark. As if it's something wrong with the file.
You should export the DER encoded binary file.
What your doing wrong is that you first have to click on the certification path and then chose the next certificate on the tree (in my case starfield secure certification authority), not the root, then press view certificate then go to details and export.
You cannot immediatlely go to details after you've opened up the certificate window and press copy to file.

== File Exported - from PC onto PC desktop.

== It is here where I get stuck...
I can export the file but HOW do I get it to INSTALL on the phone. I copied the file (all steps above) to the phone (from PC), once I try to open it, it says - "Unable to open file"...

If I use the phone's browser to go to the web page where the certificate lies, the phone asks me if I want to continue since the certificate is invalid, I can view the details but can not save it here...

Please help

Thanks for the feedback - after more than a month with very little to no support from Nokia I have resulted to a better option - Dumped the Nokia and went back to Windows CE based device. 10 Minutes later and all my stuff's working and stable.
