Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There is no way to directly import a certificate from a sender/signer in our UI.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a button to import the certificate to the lock popover.

We should consider doing this automatically. E.g. Thunderbird imports certificates from valid S/MIME signatures automatically as well.

It might make sense to either allow manual importing or fully automate it via https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/issues/11592.

Research direction

Start by locating the lock popover implementation and reviewing the referenced issue #11592. Resolve whether the scope is manual importing or automatic importing from valid S/MIME signatures; done means the chosen behavior is available from the lock popover and works for a sender or signer certificate.
