Installing Thunderbird involves two steps: first, download the software and then run the installation program.
This section provides information on how to install Thunderbird on Windows, Mac OS X, and Ubuntu. To summarize, though, Thunderbird enables much greater privacy and security than web-based e-mail services. These will be discussed in the following chapter. Using Thunderbird has many advantages over using web-based e-mail interfaces. Thunderbird can be configured to work with your existing e-mail account, whether that account is through your Internet Service Provider (such as Comcast) or through an web-based email provider (such as Gmail). Thunderbird has a nice interface and features that enable you to manage multiple mailboxes, organize messages into folders, and search through mails easily. You must install the Thunderbird application on your computer. This is different from web-based e-mail services like Google's Gmail. Thunderbird is a so-called "mail user agent" (MUA). Similar to Mozilla's Firefox browser, Thunderbird has many security advantages over its counterparts like Apple Mail and Outlook. In upcoming sections, we will be using Mozilla's Thunderbird e-mail program to show you how to configure your e-mail client for maximum security.
