- [:material-target-account: Attacchi Mirati](basics/common-threats.md#attacks-against-specific-individuals ""){.pg-red}

The **email clients** we recommend support both [OpenPGP](encryption.md#openpgp) and strong authentication such as [Open Authorization (OAuth)](basics/account-creation.md#sign-in-with-oauth). OAuth allows you to use [Multi-Factor Authentication](basics/multi-factor-authentication.md) to prevent account theft.

<details class="warning" markdown>
<summary>L'email non fornisce la forward secrecy</summary>

When using end-to-end encryption (E2EE) technology like OpenPGP, email will still have [some metadata](basics/email-security.md#email-metadata-overview) that is not encrypted in the header of the email.

OpenPGP non supporta inoltre la [forward secrecy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_secrecy), il che significa che se la tua chiave privata o quella del destinatario viene rubata, tutti i messaggi precedenti crittografati con essa saranno esposti: [Come posso proteggere le mie chiavi private?](basics/email-security.md) Considera la possibilità di utilizzare un mezzo di comunicazione che garantisca la forward secrecy:

#### Configurazione consigliata

<div class="annotate" markdown>

We recommend changing some of these settings to make Thunderbird Desktop a little more private.

These options can be found in :material-menu: → **Settings** → **Privacy & Security**.

##### Web Content

- [ ] Uncheck  **Remember websites and links I've visited**
- [ ] Uncheck  **Accept cookies from sites** (1)

</div>

1. You may need to keep this setting checked when you're logging in to some providers such as Gmail, or via an institution’s SSO. You should uncheck it once you log in successfully.

##### Telemetry

- [ ] Uncheck **Allow Thunderbird to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla**

#### Thunderbird-user.js (avanzato)

[`thunderbird-user.js`](https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/thunderbird-user.js) is a set of configuration options that aims to disable as many of the web-browsing features within Thunderbird Desktop as possible in order to reduce attack surface and maintain privacy. Some of the changes are backported from the [Arkenfox project](desktop-browsers.md#arkenfox-advanced).
