stafwag,

Use a GPG smartcard with Thunderbird. Part 1: setup GnuPG

https://stafwag.github.io/blog/blog/2024/04/21/use-a-gpg-smartcard-with-thunderbird-part_1-setup-gpg/

I moved to a Thinkpad w541 with coreboot so I needed to set up my email encryption on Thunderbird again.

It took me more time to reconfigure it again - as usual - so I decided to take notes this time and create a blog post about it. As this might be useful for somebody else … or me in the future :-)

@stafwag This is quite cool, thank you. Now I wonder if t here is shops that sell this in Canada. I really want to give this a try.

stafwag,

@adamsdesk For the fsf europe fellowship card I don't know. I got my card 8 year ago from floss-shop.de. (I live in Europe/Belgium BTW ) You can check with them if they ship to Canada.

But the setup should work with any GPG compatible smartcard. I'm also looking at #nitrokey Not sure if nitrokey is available on your side of the ocean 🙂

#yubikey is also a option:

But I lean more to nitrokey as I have the impression that they're more active in the opensource community

@stafwag Thanks for the info. I'll do some more research and see.
