On MacOS, since the last update to Apple Mail (Version 16.0) every time I send a non-encrypted email (S/MIME), I get the warning attached below.
This is super annoying, as for most emails, now I have to make two clicks to send the email, first "send" and then click ok on the warning. Is there some way to disable the warning by default?

Check you Keychain for any Non Certified or Expired Certificates.
Be sure to check in ALL Locations as they maybe scattered in several locations.
Hello alibabà,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
To help us understand more about the issue, we have a couple of questions.
Would you prefer to send non-encrypted emails all the time?
Encrypted emails require the recipient's certificate in your keychain. Do you experience any issues when sending encrypted emails?
We have addition information about sending digitally signed and encrypted emails. Take a look below:
A digitally signed message lets your recipients verify your identity as the sender; an encrypted message offers an even higher level of security. To send signed messages, you must have a personal certificate in your keychain. To send encrypted messages, the recipient’s certificate must be in your keychain.
1. In the Mail appon your Mac, choose File > New Message.
2. Move the pointer over the From field, click the pop-up menu that appears, then choose the account for which you have a personal certificate in your keychain.
A signed icon (containing a checkmark) is shown in the message header and indicates your message will be signed when you send it.
3. Address the message to recipients.
An encrypted icon (containing a closed lock) is shown if your keychain contains a personal certificate for every recipient. If you don’t have a certificate for every recipient, click the encrypted icon in your message; an open lock replaces the closed lock, indicating the message will be sent unencrypted.

Please tell us where to switch off this warning. Until the provision of certificates is deployed at scale by enterprises (to the first approximation that means Office365), we will all have this extra dialogue for just about every email we send... even internal ones. Honestly, better to pop up a dialogue and give us the amazing news that an email actually can be encrypted!
