I use Thunderbird as my email client, and v. good and stable it has proved over the years. Just had an email from them doing a bit of trumpet-blowing and telling of enhancements coming in 2020, including
- New Address Book
- Enhancements to Calendar
- A Better Dark Mode
- Built-in Encrypted Email Support
and that got me thinking: how useful would encryption be to the average punter like me? I don't use an online banking app, and ignore phishing - or at least I've managed to do so, so far! If I do need to discuss others' secrets (still do some times) it's nearly always word-of-mouth, or tracked postage, never email.
But suppose I decided to start encrypting the odd stuff... presumably this means that my communicat-ee would also have to have the same package and key? Is this how it works? And would my package work with others out there?
Where could I start doing a bit of research - in addition to anything I find within these hallowed walls, that is
And would it be worth it in the end?
