It has me utterly bamboozled.
I have the current version of Office 365.I believe it's the 6 licence Home version.

I see tutorials with an encryption button, but I don't have one.
And I've spent some time trying to figure out the importation of Certificates and Keys and nothing makes sense.
Has anyone done this?

    As is often the case in IT things, the first question is "why do you want to do this?"

    The quasi-standard way of encrypting emails in an email client and decrypting them in the recipients email client is PGP or GPG.  It is not a simple point and click solution, to the extent that well over 95% of the people that I need to send encrypted data to by email opt for getting it in an encrypted zip and receiving the password by a second channel, usually SMS, rather than getting into installing and learning GPG.
