p≡p for Thunderbird available as Beta version for Linux

Zurich, Switzerland - Today, p≡p security (pretty Easy privacy) is pleased to announce the release of a Linux beta version of p≡p for Thunderbird. This release is distributed as an installation package. p≡p for Thunderbird protects business and private emails reliably, rapidly, and fully automatically.

"It has been possible to protect emails with encryption for more than thirty years now. But until p≡p, protection has remained exclusive to IT professionals. Because most solutions are too complicated for widespread use. That's why we developed p≡p for email. p≡p makes encryption simple," says Leon Schumacher, CEO of p≡p security.

p≡p for email brings easy email protection not only to Thunderbird, but also to Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and Windows. p≡p provides the following core functionality:

• Automatic encryption and decryption of messages
• Easy synchronization of keys across all platforms (p≡p sync)
• A simple to understand system showing a message's privacy status based on traffic lights

"p≡p for Thunderbird has the advantage of automating both the setup and the operation of email encryption. As a user, you don't have to deal with the manual setup and distribution of keys. This is fully automated similar to popular messengers," says Volker Birk, CTO of p≡p security.

p≡p for email is a new generation of protection, but remains compatible with PGP. Further, p≡p continues to support passphrases for advanced users. And, of course, p≡p for Thunderbird includes a migration tool that automatically imports already existing keys from, e.g., a previous Enigmail installation.

And, that's not all. Further features:

• p≡p automatically encrypts the subject lines and, conversely, decrypts the subject already when messages are received.
• p≡p allows push notifications of new mails, showing a decrypted preview of the message and the subject.
• p≡p enables global searching in encrypted messages via message indexing.
• p≡p offers permanent decryption with trusted (e.g., in-house) server infrastructure and thus also searches in previously encrypted messages.
