now in this video, we want to discuss thunderbird.
thunderbird is a really easy to use email client built by mozilla, same ones of firefox.
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.
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.
so we'll hop back over to our tails desktop again and we'll take a look at thunderbird.
so going back to the applications, if we go to favorites, thunderbird should be under there.
you can also look under internet and you'll see thunderbird available.
and when you 1st launch thunderbird, there's not going to be much to it.
but if you want to actually get the most power out of it, you'll actually need to connect an email account.
so we'll let thunderbird load here.
so we'll go ahead and let thunderbird load really quickly and just take a look at it.
and here you can see an option to actually set up an email account.
so if you were to go set up an account, you would need to know your mail server settings if you have them.
if you want to utilize something like protonmail, you will need protonmail bridge set up.
all of these things you can take a look at but they're pretty straightforward.
we're not going to go through an actual account creation.
it's pretty basic and also it keeps breaking on me anyways right now.
but if you have any questions related to this or want deeper content around configuring thunderbird, let me know.
would be happy to potentially make it.
but otherwise we'll leave this one there.
just wanted to be sure to introduce you to it and let you know that it's there.
if you have any other questions, of course let me know.
otherwise i'll see you in the next one.
