It's a pretty involved process and the bulk of it involves getting an
SMIME certificate from a certificate authority. We've all been using
Thawte.

Point your browser to:
http://www.thawte.com/certs/personal/contents.html

After familiarising yourself, you may now enroll to get certificates.
TB! does not yet support getting certificates directly from Thawte. You
will have to enroll and create a certificate for Internet Explorer
because IE is able to export it's certificates in a format that TB! can
import. You have to use IE both when requesting the certificate and when
you go to collect it. The certificate will be automatically installed
upon receipt. This will be all explained to you as you go along.

Now, after you you have obtained your certificate, you need to export it
and then import the exported version into TB!.

To export the key, go into IE's internet options, go to the 'Content'
tab and hit the 'Certificates' button. Select the 'Thawte freemail
member' entry and hit 'export'. Go through the dialogs and be sure to
export the private key as well as to include all certificates in the
certification paths if possible.

Now to import the exported certificate, go into your account properties.
At the top of the first page, hit the 'edit personal Vcard' button. Go
to the 'Certificates' tab and hit the 'import' button. Import the keys
and you are set to send S/MIME signed messages.
