Michael,

In order to read encrypted email a user would have to be able to access his
private key. Exchange has no support for storing private keys so you could
not store it on the server. The only option is to store the key client side.
If your users are using OWA then chances are they are not using one
computer. This means you would have to store his private key on a smart card
or token and hope the computer he wants to read his email on has a reader
for a smart card / token....which isn't very likely here in the US. Europe
is MUCH farther ahead in that arena.

I am not aware of any web based email solutions that support S/MIME, mainly
because of this key storage issue.

Outlook Web Access does not support S/MIME. Here's a link to a good
comparison document from MS:
