I hope that not everyone receives 5 or more phishing emails a day like I do. The phishermen have learned that if they put a lengthy enough name in front of the email address that said address won't be seen unless the email is opened. The fishy looking email address is of course is the first tip off that the message is phishing. Some however manage to use a plausible tag in front of the @ and somehow use a legitimate xxxx.com after the @. I received two of that type this week from a phony Uber account. I've forwarded them to Uber.

The current Tbird release does not allow the user to add the "From" column to the list displays. That would be useful. Anything more that you could come up with would be be appreciated by many. BTW I am using the DKIM extension, and so far it seems to be helpful.

My wife and I are in our late 70s and both had careers in data processing. We are aware and careful. In another 10 years, who knows.

Hi,

Thunderbird tries to access many websites, even when it is in the background and apparently idle. In the last two or three weeks, it has tried to access about sixty websites that Little Snitch (Macintosh) reports by IP address, not domain name. Without knowing the domain name, I cannot tell what Thunderbird is trying to do, so I do not allow it to access those sites.

I know that Firefox does this also and that Thunderbird is built on Firefox.

In the Mullvad browser, built on Tor's browser, which is, in turn, built on Firefox, this problem is resolved by setting an option to use the user's default DNS resolver. I cannot find such an option in Thunderbird. Might there be one in a configuration setting? Or some other way to deal with this matter?

Thanks for any help.

Rick

We are currently setting up a product internally in our environment yet we keep getting this error message, I was wondering if there are anymore details from Firefox as to what it means/background on what is going with the browser as we can not access the site. Thanks.

My Firefox instance (133.0.3 64bit) on notebook shows warnings for leaked passwords in my password manager. I can even search for unsafe passwords.

My Firefox instance (same version) on tower PC synchronizes the passwords, but doesn't show warnings (incl. the black key icon), though I checked the box in settings to do so, and restarted over and over. What else can I do?

I use Microsoft Outlook for Windows from time to time and discovered it is possible to sign/encrypt emails with an S/MIME certificate even if the email on the certificate does not match the "From" email address. Although this is disabled by default, it can be enabled by following these steps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/troubleshoot/outlook/how-to-turn-off-email-matching-for-certificates

I wonder if there is an equivalent mechanism for S/MIME and/or OpenPGP certificates imported into Thunderbird, whether by changing settings in the config editor or otherwise?

I did a windows security scan yesterday and it found a trojan in the Users\appdata\local\mozilla\firefox\profiles\c4h...\cache2\entries. Detected: Trojan:Script/wacatac.H!ml.The file is a containerfile. I tried removing it few times but it keeps coming back. This has made me feel uneasy even though I believe it to be a false positive. I've done 3 scans now and it always finds the same file. When I try to look for the file in the folder it's not there, so I can't upload it to virus total.

I would like to suggest a new feature for the Thunderbird Android app: the ability to set up a built-in lock using a password, PIN, or biometric authentication.

This feature is already available in other apps, such as the Ente Auth app and the proprietary email app Spark. It adds an additional layer of security for users, ensuring that even if the device is accessed by someone else, sensitive email information remains protected.

The benefits of implementing this feature include:

1. Enhanced Privacy: Protecting user data from unauthorized access in case of device sharing or loss.

2. User Convenience: Providing an option to secure only the email app without relying on full device locks.

3. Increased User Trust: Demonstrating a commitment to privacy and security, which can attract more users to the Thunderbird app.

This functionality aligns with the privacy-first philosophy that Thunderbird embodies and would be a valuable addition for those who prioritize security in their email management.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Best regards.
