Links to useful websites

• An introduction to Thunderbird

The Mobility Email client is largely based on the same Mozilla source code used to make Mozilla Thunderbird. If you want to learn about email functionality you might find Nidelven IT's step-by-step tutorial to Thunderbird very useful.

• The Enigmail OpenPGP Documentation

The Mobility Email client uses a version of Enigmail OpenPGP as its OpenPGP encryption front-end

• GnuPG Documentation

A version of GnuPG (GPG) provides the encryption engine for the Mobility Email client. The GnuPG documentation is therefore instructive for advanced users.
