If I can't protect my downloaded email?
If someone with access to my laptop will be able to read ALL my email and also to look for my stored passwords. He can destroy me.

And not, I'm not gonna encrypt my hard drive.

Thanks to not encrypting my hard drive I was able to get all my data back when my laptop broke.

Imagine what anyone could have also done to your computer...

Can I have your password?

It's called making backups.

I don't understand what the big deal is with email. Can't you guys just use text on your phone or is it for work or something?

Sorry for retarded question but I'd really like to know what kind of stuff your sending that you worry about security so much
>>
>>53840469
Are you seriously this dumb, nigger?
You can decrypt your TC/VC drive ANYWHERE, not only in your dumb piece of shit laptop.
Fucking kill yourself bitch and get out.

Convenience.
My mom, who has no clue about tech whatsoever, loves Thunderbird which I installed on her laptop 10 years ago.
Since she has multiple email accounts for private usage, work, hobby etc. Thunderbird saves her a lot of time.

Of course the average /g/ cs student with shit loads of time on his hand who fears the botnet has no use for such a client.

What am I trying? I'm just a dumb bricklayer but I feel like I'm missing something when I see these threads

>>53841114
buisiness requires larger things than just a sentance, and often sends media or pdf documents. Speaking to patients/ clients via text also carries unprofessional ism

Agree first 2

>Increased security against worms, ads,spam, phishing emails
maybe not, gmail's protection may be better than thunderbird's. Common sense beats both.


>Encryption communication so that only the recipient gets the emails.
nobody bothers doing that unless they're leaking nsa sekrets

Really? I was told that if for example I use veracrypt I can't only acces my hdd from my laptop.
Nice try trolls.
>>
Guys, do you think an email address with a new top level domain, like .onl, is reliable? Or do you think those new extensions will disappear again soon?
>>
>>53841277
literally what are you talking about

if you have a tld its fine?
>>
>>53841249
>using veracrypt
hands down you are a dumbfuck. consider using something else, like installing linux and using dmcrypt

Damn you're right. I was wrong all the time.
Sorry.
>>
>>53841538
you take out the hdd, connect it to the other machine and then decrypt it.
OR you connect an USB flash drive, boot to linux and there decrypt your drive (if laptop is not entirely fucked).
Also make backups you dumb slut.
