Actually this depends on the e-mail provider. Googlemail uses SSL/TLS
and normal password for example. It has nothing to do with how secure
Thunderbird is.

Hi Listers,
Using WE 7.5.1, W7 HP 32, Tbird 3.1.11
Can anyone inform me of the correct or best security settings for
Thunderbird?
Under Tools, Account settings, account name, server settings, there are
two lots of options dealing with security.
Underconnection security, there are three options, none, STARTTL or
SSL / TLS. I am currently using SSL / TLS but no idea what it is. What
is STARTTL and which is better?
Under Authentication Method, there are four options. Normal Password,
encrypted password, Kerbros / GSSAPI and NTLM
It is currently set to normal password but which is better? Encrypted
password would not work and don't know what the other options are.
Thanks
Neville.
