Do you have questions or concerns about email encryption?
Please put them here.
@thunderbird@mastodon.online why hasn't there been a standardized, fully secure method of end to end encryption like OMEMO or Matrix?
@thunderbird
That no people that I email will have the technical ability to read the encrypted email I send them.
@thunderbird
When will #Thunderbird use #SequoiaPGP instead of the buggy rnp library? Esp. since sequoia is written in rust.
When will #Thunderbird implement easy encryption be default with automatic key-roll-over, like #pEp #prettyEasyPrivacy does? Or simply make pEp default part of TB?
@thunderbird Why cant I anymore have encryption enabled by default for email addresses I have a key for.
@thunderbird How come autocrypt makes email encryption so easy on #DeltaChat but not on #Thunderbird? Can I haz DeltaChat <-> Thunderbird?
@thunderbird Can I request that unlocking the gpg/pgp key not be done at start-up and left unlocked/passkey accessible? Maybe I'm weird but I actively dislike that being in the master key store and unlocked the entire time the keyring is open. I'd much prefer the model similar to the way it was done with enigmail where the gpg/pgp key was VERY explicitly unlocked to use vs. having the password in the master store and effectively always available
@thunderbird Has thunderbird created a tutorial on email encryption?
@Yung_Lyun We definitely need documentation.
@KillYourFM is meeting with Thunderbird's resident encryption expert Kaie later today. The goal is to have a transfer of knowledge, then explain the basics (and their importance) to our community.
@thunderbird
Please add support for Web-of-Trust, to make https://openpgp-ca.org/ useful with TB.
@thunderbird @9Lukas5 When out of the box working GPG in thunderbird on Mac?
@thunderbird Thanks that it's possible to ask questions. Is it possible to store PGP encrypted emails like usual emails in Thunderbird? I mean storing them unencrypted like any other email. I had the experience that I couldn't access received encrypted emails after a while, because I/Thunderbird didn't have the key anymore
@thunderbird no for me (because I already use it for years) but a lot of people ask me "how to decrypt emails via gpg when I receive an email in Gmail from someone who sent it via thunderbird with gpg?"
The only answer I give is to use mailvelop...
@thunderbird
Why aren’t #prettyeasyprivacy and #autocrypt supported in #Thunderbird any more?
