Tails inclui o Thunderbird para:

• Ler e escrever emails

• Ler feeds RSS e Atom de sites de notícias e blogs

To start Thunderbird choose Applications ▸ Internet ▸ Thunderbird.

configurando uma conta de email

1. Ao iniciar o Thunderbird pela primeira vez, um assistente aparecerá para guiar você através do processo de configurar o Thunderbird para acessar sua conta de email.

   To start this assistant again in the future from the main window of Thunderbird, choose  ▸ Account Settings and then, from the Account Settings dialog, choose Account Actions ▸ Add Mail Account….

2. Enter your name, email address, and password into the corresponding fields.

3. Clique em Continuar.

4. O assistente tenta configurar automaticamente as configurações corretas para conectar você ao seu provedor de email, se baseando no seu endereço de email.

   Se a configuração automática falhar, consulte seu provedor de email para saber como configurar sua conta de email manualmente.

5. Se a configuração automática funcionar, você talvez precise especificar um protocolo que deverá ser utilizado para se conectar ao seu provedor de email, seja IMAP, seja POP.

   • Com IMAP, o Thunderbird sincroniza constantemente com o servidor e mostra os emails e pastas que estão armazenados no servidor. IMAP é melhor caso você acesse seus emails a partir de sistemas operacionais diferentes.

   • Com POP, o Thunderbird baixa os emails que estão na caixa de entrada no servidor e possivelmente apaga-os do servidor. POP é melhor caso você acesse seus emails apenas a partir do Tails e armazena-os no armazenamento persistente.

   Para saber mais, também veja essa comparação entre POP e IMAP do Riseup.

Privacidade melhorada

O Thunderbird no Tails é configurado para privacidade e anonimato adicionais.

Por exemplo, o Thunderbird no Tails:

• Remove informações sobre o idioma da sua sessão ou verificador ortográfico dos cabeçalhos dos emails que você envia.

• Remove informações dos cabeçalhos dos seus Emails que poderiam identificar que você está usando Tails.

• Apenas permite protocolos seguros e desativa protocolos inseguros, como SSLv3.

• Desativa as tecnologias de rastreamento, como cookies e JavaScript, ao visualizar emails ou feeds em HTML.

These enhancements are inherited from the former TorBirdy extension.

Usando Thunderbird na sua língua

To use Thunderbird in another language, you can install the thunderbird-l10n-lang package using the Additional Software feature. Replace lang with the code for your language. For example, vi for Vietnamese.

Tails already includes language packages for Arabic, German, Spanish, Farsi, French, Hindi, Bahasa Indonesia, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Simplified Chinese.

Criptografia OpenPGP

Setting up a Primary Password (recommended)

In Thunderbird, OpenPGP private keys are not protected by a passphrase. That's why we recommend that you set up a Primary Password.

With a Primary Password, your private key is encrypted in your Thunderbird profile and is only unlocked while Thunderbird is running. If your Thunderbird profile is stored in your Persistent Storage, then your private key is encrypted twice: once by Thunderbird in your profile and a second time by the encryption of the Persistent Storage.

1. Choose  ▸ Settings.

2. Choose Privacy & Security.

3. In the Passwords section, select the option Use a Primary Password.

4. In the Primary Password dialog, enter your Primary Password and click OK.

Importando uma chave privada existente

Thunderbird usa um chaveiro diferente do GnuPG.

Se você já possuir uma chave OpenPGP privada fora do Thunderbird, siga as instruções abaixo para exporta-la do GnuPG e importa-la no Thunderbird.

Import your private key in Thunderbird

In Thunderbird:

1. Choose  ▸ Account Settings.

2. In the left pane, identify the account that corresponds to the private key that you want to import and choose End-to-End Encryption.

4. In the Add a Personal OpenPGP Key dialog, choose Import an existing OpenPGP Key and click Continue.

5. Click the Select File to Import… button and choose the private key that your exported from Kleopatra.

6. In the next dialog, make sure that your private key is listed and that the option Treat this key as a Personal Key is selected.

7. Click Continue, enter the passphrase for your private key (if any), and click Continue again.

   Your private key should now be listed in the End-to-End Encryption settings of your account.

8. Select your private key to enable OpenPGP encryption for this account.

Generating a new OpenPGP private key

4. In the Add a Personal OpenPGP Key dialog, choose Create a new OpenPGP Key.

5. Review the settings in the next dialog, click the Generate key button, and then click Confirm.

   Your private key should now be listed in the End-to-End Encryption settings of your account.

Encrypting an email

To prevent you from sending unencrypted emails by mistake, Thunderbird in Tails is configured with the option Enable encryption for new messages turned on by default in the account settings.

When composing an email:

• If the Encrypt toggle button is on, Thunderbird will encrypt the email before sending.

  Thunderbird warns you if you miss the key of some of the recipients or if you still have to accept some of their keys.

  Choose Security ▸ Key Assistant to see the keys of the receipts and solve any issue.

• To send an unencrypted email, turn off the Encrypt toggle button.
