request a replacement for Thunderbird + Enigmail
Hello List,
i feel the time has come to find a more up-to-date replacement for my
email-solution, but ...
Up til now, i am using Thunderbird (52.9.1 (64-Bit) + Enigmail +
ToneQuilla + Virtual Identity and more ...) on stretch from inside a
Virtualbox-VM.
That allowed to correspond seamlessly with GPG users on more than 20
addresses (from 6 different providers), while i was acoustically
notified about the different levels of relevance of those mails, since
20+ years. (makes a huge database)
While keeping this stuff alive for an extended period of time, i have
been able to prevent the necessity to enter any passphrase manually, to
decrypt/encrypt automatically, and many more convenient solutions to
ease my life.
Of course, i knew, that this could come to an end, but i have not found
a valid replacement yet. The current Thunderbird fails big time at
solving the GPG part, even worse: They (Mozilla/NSA/???) want to have
control over private keys in their own keystore, built by people
obviously not skilled enough to create a(ny) secure piece of software.
That is why i refused to embark on the path of replacing the isolated,
but integrated solution Enigmail with something less trustworthy, less
flexible, and less stable.
But i feel, i will have to start building up an alternative, could not
yet make up my mind.
That is why i am asking for your communities experience and recommendations.
How are YOU dealing with encryption, with multiple providers, with
addresses created on-the-fly, with a huge email history, and so on?
Really interested to find a solution, that can last for many years to come.
regards, DdB
