Firefox (Italiano)

Mozilla Thunderbird è un client email, newsgroup, e aggregatore di notizie progettato attorno alla semplicità e alla completa personalizzazione evitando la pesantezza. Supporta POP, IMAP, SMTP, S/MIME, e la criptazione OpenPGP (attraverso l'estensione Enigmail). Similmente a Firefox, possiede una grande varietà di estensioni e addon, disponibili per il download, che aggiungono nuove funzionalità.

## Installazione

The thunderbird package can be found in the [extra] repository and installed with pacman:

    # pacman -S thunderbird

There are a number of language packs available if English is not your preferred language. To see a list of available language packs, try:

    $ pacman -Ss thunderbird-i18n

## Extensions

### Encryption with EnigMail

#### Installation

##### Via addons.mozilla.org

Note: This method won't work for x86_64, see #Via AUR.

The first step to setting up email encryption is to download the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG). Several packages are needed for this:

    # pacman -S gnupg gnupg2 gpgme

EnigMail can be downloaded from here, at Mozilla's addon database. Make sure that it is installed as a Thunderbird addon and isn't automatically interpreted to be a Firefox addon. This can be done by going to Tools -> Add-ons and clicking Install, then selecting the XPI addon package. Congratulations, EnigMail is now installed. You should now restart Thunderbird.

##### Via enigmail.mozdev.org

EnigMail addons that works for x86_64 can be downloaded from this page. Select the Arch build of the addon and follow the instructions in the previous section to install.

##### Via AUR

There is an AUR package: enigmail.

##### Issues with the x86_64 version of enigmail

It is possible that Thunderbird (Lanikai) hasn't got the same build-type (Error: Linux_x86-gcc3) as the enigmail (x86_64) and won't get installed. Downloading Thunderbird in the i686 version an installing enigmail by the Add-On application works fine.

If you download Thunderbird manually, remember copying the files to `/opt` and creating a directory for Thunderbird. To still be able start Thunderbird from the "default location" create a file that points at `/opt/thunderbird/thunderbird` for example.

Open a new file called thunderbird.

    # nano /usr/bin/thunderbird

Write in the file:

    /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird

Finish with setting the right permissions and "updating" your shell.

    # chmod 755 /usr/bin/thunderbird
    # bash

#### Creating a Keypair

A keypair can be created by opening Thunderbird and finding the 'OpenPGP' menu and clicking 'Setup Wizard'. The wizard will now help you create your keypair. All of the options are fairly self-explanatory and are not discussed in this article.

#### Sharing your Public Key

There are a variety of ways to distribute your public key. One way is to upload it to a public keyserver network. Another is to share it with friends who are also using email encryption.

#### Encrypting your Emails

First of all, encryption does not always work properly with emails containing HTML. It is best to make all of the encrypted emails you wish to send plaintext. This can be ensured by going to Options in the 'New Email' window and finding Format, then clicking on "Plain-text only".

Once you have chosen a recipient and title and have written your message, you can sign and encrypt the message by using the OpenPGP menu. Once that is done, simply click "Send" and your encrypted email has been sent.

#### Decrypting Emails

This article will not go into the details of key signing.

Assuming that the email was encrypted properly, just trying to open it should result in a popup window asking you to type in your keyphrase. Do so now, and the email will be decrypted for your viewing pleasure.

### Adding a Calendar with Lightning

Lightning is an extension that brings Sunbird's functionality to Thunderbird. This integrates calendar functions into Thunderbird.

### Adding a Webmail Account with WebMail

This issue is covered in the article Webmail with Thunderbird.

### Resizeable tray icon

There are a number of plugins that let Thunderbird close to tray, but most of them seem to make use of `/usr/lib/thunderbird-5.0/chrome/icons/default/default16.png`, and if you are using a big screen and a bigger-than-standard dock (e.g. Avant Window Navigator) the icon could appear too little compared to the other tray icons.

To make those plugins use the icons from `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/` you just have to disable `/usr/lib/thunderbird-5.0/chrome/icons/default/default16.png` renaming it for example to `default16.png.disabled`, not forgetting to prevent pacman from reinstalling it by adding the following line to `/etc/pacman.conf`:

    NoExtract = usr/lib/thunderbird-5.0/chrome/icons/default/default16.png

### Links in Thunderbird do NOT open in Firefox

If you update from Firefox 3 to Firefox 4, you may no longer be able to click on a link in Thunderbird and have it open in Firefox. Especially if you are using KDE. To correct the problem, issue the following as your user, from the command line:

    gconftool-2 --type=string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command "firefox %s"
    gconftool-2 --type=string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command "firefox %s"

Another option is go to the preferences => advanced => general and then select Config Editor.

    Search for "network.protocol"

those following three were false, turn then to true, and then Thunderbird will ask you when clicking on liks which application to use. Select /usr/bin/firefox or /usr/bin/xdg-open and do not forgot to select remember my choice wink

    network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp
    network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http
    network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https

the mimetype where saved on ~/.thunderbird/.default/mimeTypes.rdf

## Troubleshooting

### Segfault at startup

A problem (mozilla-bug) arises on systems configured to use ldap to fetch user information: Thunderbird segfaults at startup. A work around exists.
