Chat in Thunderbird

Hello Support

Can you please tell me if the Thunderbird Chat option is end-to-end encrypted. I've read a few articles on the subject of encryption but none answer this specific question. I am considering using Chat and just wish to confirm this more out of curiosity, really.

Regards Tony

Hello there boatguy. We have read your message. We try to help you.


The Thunderbird chat if it s there on and working at this day it s encrypted yes. Perhaps by Thunderbird itself. OTr use is the use of the or a 128 bit long secured key.(Chat). Thunderbird s client s that use mail has a support for end-to-end encryption (e2ee) built right in.(Thunderbird email). Of the record use is simple fast and no settings. Good for User s for a direct usage to chat.

Can you read this forms below. Before starting with the email and chat programm s. And usage of the encryption key s.

What is End-to-End Encryption in Thunderbird? End-to-end encryption (e2ee) for email can be used to ensure that only the sender and the recipients of a message can read the contents. Without this protection it is easy for network administrators, email providers and government agencies to read your messages. The same use for chat programs running with Thunderbird software that take use of OTR encryption for chat traffic. Receivers has there own programs to.
