🔐 Tuta Mail introduces key verification to strengthen end-to-end encryption and defend against MITM attacks 👥
Users can now verify contacts’ public keys via QR code or manual comparison.
If skipped, Tuta defaults to TOFU (Trust On First Use) for seamless encryption 🧩

Users of #GNOME#Evolution mail client: in #Debian13#Trixie, the Message-ID search (via command line) is broken. 😔
It got fixed already (see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/3079) but the fix version 3.57.1+ is too new in comparison to the Debian version 3.56.1-1.
There is a workaround to do a manual search within the UI:
Search → Advanced Search: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/evolution/help/mail-searching.html
"Add Condition" → switch from "Sender" to "Free Form Expression"
mid:""
It will get fixed in Debian in four years. 🙄
HTH

Update verfügbar: #58 - Deine #Mails, dein digitales Zuhause
Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik
Der Dreh- und Angelpunkt in unserem digitalen Leben ist unser #EMail-#Account: Über diesen melden wir uns beim #Onlineshopping oder bei Apps und Websiten an.
Und wir hinterlegen ihn, um Benutzerkennwörter zurückzusetzen.
Genau deshalb sind E-Mail-Accounts ein beliebtes Ziel von Hackern.
Wie diese vorgehen und welche #Schutzmaßnahmen es gibt, darüber sprechen Schlien und Hardy mit dem #BSI-Experten Alexander Härtel in dieser Folge von #UpdateVerfügbar.
Ihr erfahrt, wie die neuesten #Phishing-Methoden funktionieren und wie ihr überprüfen könnt, ob eure eigene E-Mail-Adresse missbraucht wurde. Dazu tauchen Schlien und Hardy tief in die dunklen Ecken ihrer eigenen E-Mail-Postfächer ein.
So könnt ihr leicht nachvollziehen, wo die Stolperfallen liegen. Überzeugt euch selbst!

"The centerpiece of the Thunderbird Pro offering is Thundermail, Thunderbird’s first official email hosting service. Built to support IMAP, SMTP, and JMAP protocols from day one, Thundermail will work seamlessly with the Thunderbird client and other standards-based email apps. Notably, the initial infrastructure will be based in Germany, a jurisdiction known for its robust data protection laws under the GDPR framework and a long-standing culture of digital privacy.
Locating Thundermail’s infrastructure in Germany positions the service as a privacy-focused alternative to US-based providers, many of which are subject to surveillance regimes like the CLOUD Act. Users will be able to bring their own custom domain or choose a Thunderbird-provided address with @thundermail.com or @tb.pro suffixes.
Thunderbird describes this move as part of its broader mission to reinforce support for open standards and provide users with a cohesive, privacy-conscious email experience, entirely within its own ecosystem."

I missed the info but Microsoft is deploying #DANE to many Outlook / Hotmail systems:
"Ryan Sipes told the audience during his keynote ... that the Thunderbird mail client 'probably shouldn't still be alive'. Thunderbird, however, is not only alive—it is arguably in better shape than ever before. According to Sipes, the project's turnaround is a result of governance, storytelling, and learning to be comfortable asking users for money."

I scored 13/21 on https://e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
