# Thunderbird

> Since Thunderbird 115.0, necessary [low-level interfaces are not available anymore](https://www.thunderbird-mail.de/forum/thread/92154-allow-html-temp-for-thunderbird-115/) preventing _Allow HTML Temp_ extension to work which might lead you to skip Thunderbird entirely.

You can just copy the `user.js` into Thunderbird's app data directory, e.g. `%AppData%\Mozilla\Thunderbird\profileName` or `~/.thunderbird/profileName` _or_ go to `Settings -> Advanced -> config editor` when editing values manually.

## Addons

* Allow HTML Temp
* DKIM Verifier

## Manual configuration 
Please follow [privacy-handbuch.de](https://www.privacy-handbuch.de/handbuch_31d.htm) as it's more detailed or use the following for okayish settings.
