Configuration of Mozilla Thunderbird

Using an email client like Mozilla Thunderbird is more comfortable for anonymous email accounts than using the overloaded webinterfaces of some mail providers. OpenPGP or S/MIME encryption for your email communication is possible and well supported.

The most easy way of configuration uses the add-on TorBirdy. The add-on will enable all required security settings, disable the account creation wizard and configure the proxy settings. To install the add-on you have to open the add-on manager ("Tools -> Add-ons"), go to the search section and enter "TorBirdy" in the search box. If TorBirdy was found you may install it and restart Thunderbird.

Install TorBirdy

Afterwards you can choose the anonymisation services Tor or JonDo in the statusbar (bottom left corner).

proxy settings for JonDo

Create a mail account

After installation of TorBirdy you may configure your mail accounts. Because of a bug in Thunderbird you can't use the account creation wizard. The wizard is disabled by TorBirdy. You have to configure the POP3 server for incoming mails and the SMTP server for outgoing mails by hand.
