Securing Thunderbird email with OpenPGP

Here's a good tutorial on adding further security to your email messages. If you REALLY want to make sure that only the people you want to read your email are reading it, then you should use PGP. This article tells us how to set it up with Mozilla Thunderbird.

Email is commonly used in business today, yet only a small percentage of users take the time to guarantee their email is sent in a secure and confidential manner. If you're not part of that elite group, read on to learn how to setup OpenPGP with the Mozilla Thunderbird mail component.

OpenPGP is a patent-free encryption scheme based on the same security architecture as the commercial version of PGP, which has been available since the early 90's. Thunderbird uses OpenPGP through the GnuPG implementation -- developed by the Free Software Foundation -- for interpreting and sending digitally signed and encrypted messages.
