Use Arcus to encrypt and decrypt emails in Thunderbird!
What you can do
Permissions
This addon uses a long list of permissions, because each is needed for small things. Of course, nothing unexpected is done with your mails or account!
This is the Rust-based version of the existing addon "acus".
What you can do
- Set your secret key and automatically decrypt emails
- Generate a new key pair and download it to a file
- Encrypt plain text in emails for a list of recipients. The addon reads the "To"-field and tries to fetch public keys for these contacts (stored in the "Custom4" field in the address book).
