Secure Your Gmail with Encryption


Sending emails through Gmail without leaving unencrypted copies on their servers is possible and straightforward. Here's how you can do it using a few essential tools: a Gmail account, PGP or GnuPG, Mozilla Thunderbird, and the Enigmail extension.

What You'll Need:

- Gmail Account
- PGP or GnuPG Software
- Mozilla Thunderbird Email Client
- Enigmail Extension

Step-by-Step Guide:


1. Enable POP3 in Gmail:
- Log into your Gmail account.
- Go to Settings and enable POP3 access. This will provide the configuration settings you need for Thunderbird.

2. Install Software:
- Download and install Mozilla Thunderbird.
- Install the Enigmail extension within Thunderbird.
- Install PGP or GnuPG software on your system.

3. Configure Thunderbird:
- Enter your Gmail account settings into Thunderbird as instructed by Google’s setup guide.

4. Create a PGP Key:
- For PGP, use the GUI interface to create a key associated with your email address.
- For GnuPG, open a terminal and type `gpg --gen-key`. Follow the prompts to set key type, size (choose at least 2048 bits, although 4096 is recommended), and expiration (a 6-month duration is a secure choice, prompting regular updates).

5. Link Keys to Your Email:
- In Thunderbird, use Enigmail settings to associate your newly created keypair with your email address.
- Set your email to default to signed and encrypted mode.

6. Exchange Public Keys:
- Collect public keys from contacts you wish to email securely and add them to your PGP or GnuPG keyring.
- Enigmail will automatically encrypt emails to these contacts and decrypt messages received from them.

Using secure email ensures that your communications remain private and verifies the authenticity of your messages. Follow these steps, and rest assured knowing your email interactions are shielded from prying eyes.
