I'm going to create a vm and load up tb3 to see what issues arise. It may be that much like firefox, the tb socks support is lacking. >> Isn't Thunderbird known to be a `leaky' client?

Can anyone confirm or deny this? Also, are extensions' Yes, mail clients in general leak all sorts of data about you. torbutton hasn't been kept up with thunderbird for a long time.
