Want to enhance your email security by learning how you can use OpenPGP with [[Thunderbird]]? With this short primer gets you started in no time encrypting and decrypting emails and verifying that emails you receive are from the people who you expect them to be.

Enigmail also features opportunistic [[email encryption->openpgp]] ([[autocrypt->https://autocrypt.org/index.html]]) by adding a OpenPGP header to outgoing mails. If you receive a mail with such an header, your answer will be automatically encrypted.

h2. Before you begin

We recommned that you start by reading our [[gpg-best-practices]] guide. In particular, you should ensure *before you generate a key* that you have gone through the [[key configuration->gpg-keys#Key_configuration]] guide to configure gnupg to generate a strong key because the defaults that come installed are not optimal.
