00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,310
now in this video, we want to discuss thunderbird.

2
00:00:03,310 --> 00:00:10,260
thunderbird is a really easy to use email client built by mozilla, same ones of firefox.

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:19,080
and it's definitely the go to for security and privacy because it allows additional plugins and encryption that makes it pretty easy to use.

4
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:32,840
now i would still recommend using something like a protonmail or other secure email service to actually host your email somewhere if you need to have it available on a server elsewhere, but you still want thunderbird in the middle to be able to handle that encryption and properly do things.

5
00:00:33,340 --> 00:00:37,280
so we'll hop back over to our tails desktop again and we'll take a look at thunderbird.

6
00:00:37,660 --> 00:00:44,320
so going back to the applications, if we go to favorites, thunderbird should be under there.

7
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:48,640
you can also look under internet and you'll see thunderbird available.

8
00:00:49,140 --> 00:00:52,160
and when you 1st launch thunderbird, there's not going to be much to it.

9
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:57,230
but if you want to actually get the most power out of it, you'll actually need to connect an email account.

10
00:00:57,230 --> 00:00:58,840
so we'll let thunderbird load here.

11
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:02,360
so we'll go ahead and let thunderbird load really quickly and just take a look at it.

12
00:01:02,660 --> 00:01:05,880
and here you can see an option to actually set up an email account.

13
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:11,530
so if you were to go set up an account, you would need to know your mail server settings if you have them.

14
00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:16,000
if you want to utilize something like protonmail, you will need protonmail bridge set up.

15
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:19,990
all of these things you can take a look at but they're pretty straightforward.

16
00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:22,120
we're not going to go through an actual account creation.

17
00:01:22,220 --> 00:01:25,750
it's pretty basic and also it keeps breaking on me anyways right now.

18
00:01:25,750 --> 00:01:31,010
but if you have any questions related to this or want deeper content around configuring thunderbird, let me know.

19
00:01:31,010 --> 00:01:32,810
would be happy to potentially make it.

20
00:01:32,810 --> 00:01:35,230
but otherwise we'll leave this one there.

21
00:01:35,230 --> 00:01:38,640
just wanted to be sure to introduce you to it and let you know that it's there.

22
00:01:38,660 --> 00:01:41,030
if you have any other questions, of course let me know.

23
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:42,520
otherwise i'll see you in the next one.
