Version 78.2.1 of the Thunderbird email client has support for end-to-end encryption (e2ee) built right in. This integration means you no longer need add-ons like Enigmail. Thunderbird uses OpenPGP for encryption, which is a free, nonproprietary protocol. Based on the freeware versions of Phil Zimmerman’s Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), it’s now very much its own thing.
Thunderbird’s OpenPGP integration allows you to encrypt a message. Then, only the people you want to read your message will be able to do so. It also lets you digitally sign a message so your recipient can be confident the message hasn’t been altered in transit.
OpenPGP uses the principle of pairs of public and private (or “secret”) encryption keys. To use OpenPGP, you must have a public and private key pair. Public keys are shared with anyone to whom you want to send encrypted messages, whereas private keys are never shared with anyone else. Private keys can also be used to decrypt messages encoded with the matching public key.
The sender’s email client generates a random key which is used to encrypt the message. The random key is then encrypted with the recipient’s public key, and the encrypted message and key are then sent to the recipient. The recipient’s email program uses the recipient’s private key to decrypt the random key. The random key can then be used to decrypt the encoded message.
Why not just use the recipient’s public key to encrypt the message? This would work for messages sent to a single recipient, but it would be too cumbersome for those sent to multiple people.
The most efficient way to distribute a message to several people is to encrypt the message using the random key. This is because no public or private keys have been involved at that point, making the encryption on the message person-agnostic.
For each recipient, the random key is encrypted using that person’s public key. All of the encrypted keys are then sent with the message. Each recipient can decrypt the copy of the random key that was encrypted using their public key, and then use the random key to decrypt the message.
Thankfully, once OpenPGP is set up, all of this happens automatically.
We tested Thunderbird’s OpenPGP integration on an Ubuntu 20.10 computer. On a Windows 10 PC, all the Thunderbird menu items, settings, and dialogs were named the same and in the same locations. So, if you’re running Windows, you should be able to follow the instructions below, as well!
OpenPGP integration arrived in Thunderbird 78.2.1, so you’ll want to make sure you’re running that version or higher. You can use your package manager to upgrade if necessary.
If you use Enigmail, refer to the upgrade instructions on the Mozilla support pages. They include advice about backing up your old Thunderbird profile before you upgrade. This way, if something goes wrong, you can go back to the previous version. By default, Thunderbird 78.x retains the classic three-pane email interface: the accounts and folders in the sidebar, the list of received emails at the top, and the content of the highlighted email at the bottom.
If you can’t see the Thunderbird menu bar, right-click the space to the right of the last tab, and then select “Menu Bar” from the context menu. To see which version of Thunderbird you have, click Help > About Thunderbird.
We’re running version 78.5.0, so the OpenPGP integration will definitely be present. If this is the first time you’ve used Thunderbird, configure your email address and account details, and then verify that email is functioning normally. You have to have a working email account inside Thunderbird before you can set up OpenPGP.
To generate a key pair, click “Tools,” and then select “OpenPGP Key Manager.”
Click Generate > New Key Pair.
A screen full of options will appear. Click the “Identity” drop-down menu and select the email address for which you want to generate keys. If you have multiple identities configured in your Thunderbird client, make sure you select the appropriate email address. Under “Key Expiry,” select the lifespan of your keys or select “Key Does Not Expire.”
In “Advanced Settings,” you can select the type of encryption and key size (the defaults are fine in most cases). When you’re happy with your selections, click “Generate Key.”
You’ll be asked to confirm that you want to generate the keys for that email address; click “Confirm.”
After your keys have been generated, an entry will appear in the “OpenPGP Key Manager” dialog.
If you generate keys for any other email addresses, those details will be listed here, as well. To view the configuration of any of the listed keys, just highlight the entry in the list, and then click View > Key Properties.
Select the radio button next to “Yes, Treat This Key as a Personal Key,” and then click “OK” when you’re ready to proceed.
You have to have the public key for each person to whom you’re going to send encrypted messages. They’ll also need yours to send encrypted messages back. There are a few ways you can get someone’s public key. They might send it to you unannounced or you can ask them for it. You can even try to find it online.
Whenever you receive an email with an attached public key, Thunderbird includes an “OpenPGP” button to the right of the email header; click it to import the public key.
You might receive some warnings. For example, if the message wasn’t encrypted or digitally signed, you’ll be told so. If you’ve just asked this person to send you their public key, you can be pretty sure this is from them. If there’s any doubt, just double-check with them via text, phone, or any other non-email method.
If you’re satisfied the public key definitely belongs to the person sending the message, click “Import.”
The name of the sender and their email address will appear as confirmation. Click “OK” to import the key.
Some information about the imported public key will then appear. You’ll see who owns the key, the email address associated with it, the number of bits the encryption is using, and when the public key was created.
Click “View Details and Manage Key Acceptance.”
If you’re positive the key came from its owner, select the radio button next to “Yes, I’ve Verified in Person This Key Has the Correct Fingerprint,” and then click “OK.”
That’s half the battle! We now have Alwa’s public key, so let’s send him ours. To do so, just start a new email to the person to whom you want to send your key or reply to one of their emails. In the email menu bar, click Options > Attach My Public Key.
Then, you just type the body of your email and send it as usual. Again, Thunderbird includes an “OpenPGP” indicator at the bottom right of the status bar to let you know the message uses OpenPGP. If the email is encrypted, you’ll also see a padlock icon, and if it’s digitally signed, you’ll see a cogwheel icon.
The options for encryption and digitally signing emails are available in the “Security” section of the email menu bar. You can also attach your public key from this menu.
When you’re ready, just send your email.
Alwa can now reply to you and use encryption. When you receive an encrypted, email you don’t have to do anything special to read it—just open it as usual. “OpenPGP” in the email header will include green checkmarks to verify that OpenPGP has decrypted the email and that the digital signature has also been verified.
The subject line of an encrypted email will be displayed as an ellipsis (…) until you open it. This prevents anyone from seeing the subject of any encrypted emails you receive.
Some people do make their public keys available online. To upload yours, you first have to export it.
To do so, click “Tools,” and then select “OpenPGP Key Manager.” Highlight the key you want to export in the “OpenPGP Key Manager” dialog, and then click File > Export Public Key(s) to File.
Save the exported file to your computer (be sure to note where you save it). Next, open your web browser and navigate to the OpenPGP Key Repository. Here, you can search for existing keys using the email address, key ID, or fingerprint.
You can also upload your own key. To do so, just click “Upload,” and then browse to the location of your exported file.
Once your key is uploaded, people can search for, find, and download or import it into their own email clients. You can also search for online keys in Thunderbird. Just click “Tools,” and then select “OpenPGP Key Manager.” Then, click Keyserver > Discover Keys Online.
When the “OpenPGP Prompt” dialog appears, type the email address of the person you’re looking for, and then click “OK.”
If a match is found, Thunderbird will offer to import the key for you; click “OK” to do so.
Admittedly, not every email needs to be locked down with encryption and verified by a digital signature. However, for some people—like dissidents in oppressive regimes, whistleblowers, or journalists’ sources—privacy can be a matter of life or death.

When someone in your contacts signs up for Signal, you’ll see a message saying that person joined Signal. Now you know you can contact them on Signal. If you’d rather not see these notifications, you can disable them.
Signal uses phone numbers as addresses you can reach people at. When a phone number in your contacts signs up for Signal, you’ll see a notification telling you they’re reachable on Signal. The name associated with that person comes from the contact information saved on your phone. To hide these alerts, open the Signal app on your iPhone or Android phone. Tap your profile picture or username initials shown at the top-left corner of the Signal conversation list.
Tap “Notifications” on the Signal settings menu screen.
Under Events, tap the slider to the right of “Contact Joined Signal” to disable these contact-join notifications.
That’s it—Signal won’t let you know when your friends, family members, coworkers, or other contacts join in the future. The Signal app will still know, of course. If you tap the “New Message” icon, you’ll see all your contacts who are on Signal, ready to be contacted.
There’s no way from preventing Signal from informing people when you join. If someone has your phone number in their contacts, Signal will let them know that phone number has joined Signal. This has nothing to do with whether you allow Signal access to your own contacts.
The only way to prevent this is to use a secondary phone number. Signal is designed to work with phone numbers and to be an easy-to-use replacement for SMS, which is why it works this way. If you want a chat service that doesn’t use phone numbers as identifiers—for example, if you would prefer usernames that don’t expose your phone number—Signal isn’t the app for you.
[mai mult...]First, let’s quickly recap what the Burn Bar actually shows. It compares how many calories you’ve burned in the past two minutes of your workout (and at the end, the average for the whole workout) to people who are roughly the same age, weight, and gender (so newbies aren’t compared to elite athletes). You’re given a ranking—“Behind the Pack,” “In the Pack,” “Middle of the Pack,” “Front of the Pack,” or “Ahead of the Pack”—based on how you’re doing.
Since the Burn Bar is based on how hard you’ve gone over the previous two minutes of your workout, it doesn’t appear until after you’ve actually worked out for two minutes. If you’re not seeing the Burn Bar at the very start of a workout, this is probably why.
The Burn Bar only shows up on workouts where the aim is to burn calories. Some workouts, like Strength, Yoga, and Mindful Cooldowns, have different goals. The Burn Bar won’t appear in workouts like these because it’s not a good measure of performance.
In a Strength workout, for example, your goal is to perform high-quality repetitions that build muscle, not to get your heart rate up by bouncing around. The Burn Bar can’t compare your reps to other people’s, so Fitness+ won’t show it.
After your first workout, you get the option to disable the Burn Bar. If you did that by mistake—or deliberately turned off the Burn Bar at some point—you might need to turn it on.
In a workout, tap the metrics icon in the bottom right of the screen.
Tap the toggle to the right of “Burn Bar” to turn it on.
If the Burn Bar option is already enabled on this screen, you’re probably not seeing it for one of the other reasons—you might need to wait two minutes, or it might not be relevant to your current workout.
