Another way is using LDAP as addressbook (may be OpenCA with LDAP). If
there is deposited a certificate behind the users email address, and you
have the trusted root certificate installed, the email will be encryted as
well.

Yes. Your webmail doesn't support S/MIME, so it will simply show the mail
as attachment. Some webmail clients have plugins for that, e.g.
Squirrelmail, for verifiying a digital signatiure.

But since your webmailclient resides on a webserver you will have to
install your key and certificate on this server in order to create S/MIME
signatures, or decrypt emails. I won't do that at all.
