Tor Browser Bundle and Thunderbird Mail
 
Hi to all, my question is, has anybody used the
//www.torproject.org/download/download ..Tor browser bundle on Linux.
It says on website has download for Linux ..

Also if I used Thunderbird Mail can I still check mail individually ..not using Thunderbird.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

i would not run email through tor
except to copy/paste already encrypted files into a tormail account

and ONLY use tor bundle for TOR !!!!!!!!
cookies from the "clear web" can and will give you away

Tor browser bundle from Tor project website is just what it says it is - a browser bundle. Any application, other than the patched browser in the bundle, that connects to the internet is NOT routed through the tor network.

If you want a system where all connections are routed through the tor network, you should use TAILS - https://tails.boum.org/

You can run it as live CD or create a persistent volume. Thunderbird and Pidgin are routed through the network and normal connections are blocked.

Hope that helps.
