Description

Enigmail is now considered EOL for Thunderbird and has been superseded by built-in OpenPGP solution by Thunderbird

(https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/home/news/70-2019-10-08-future-openpgp-support-in-thunderbird).
It will keep working for paid email client Postbox and some old fork of Thunderbird (https://binaryoutcast.com/projects/interlink/) with not clear future or active development.

Why I am making the suggestion

I don't believe that we should be recommending add-ons that are no longer being actively developed, mainly for security reasons.

My connection with the software
