Enigmail

Enigmail

  1. Read the documentation on the enigmail link above. It points to the latest GnuPG installer for $MS among other things. There you will see a pointer to the M$ GnuPG Installer 1.4.8 that must be run.
  2. Next install Enigmail by using a right mouse click and "Save Link as ..." to save the extension locally. Then navigate to the Thunderbird menu Tools > Addons and click on the Install ... button to install Enigmail. It will reboot itself.
  3. Generate a key pair for the email addresses you want. So simple there's no explanation needed.
  4. Publish the external key from thunderbird: OpenPGP->KeyManagement, select the key just created, then Keyserver->UploadPublicKey.
Actually the simple tutorial is here http://enigmail.mozdev.org/documentation/quickstart-ch3.php
