Starting with version 78, Thunderbird has a built-in PGP feature.
In `work-email`, use the Thunderbird config editor (found at the bottom of preferences/options), and search for `mail.openpgp.allow_external_gnupg`. Switch the value to true. Still in config editor, search for `mail.openpgp.alternative_gpg_path`. Set its value to `/usr/bin/qubes-gpg-client-wrapper`. Restart Thunderbird after this change.
Open the Account Settings and open the End-to-End Encryption tab of the respective email account. Click the "Add Key" button. You'll be offered the choice "Use your external key through GnuPG". Select it and click Continue.

You need to obtain your key ID which should be **exactly 16 characters**. Enter the command `qubes-gpg-client-wrapper -K --keyid-format long`:

```
The key ID reference you would need here is `777402E6D301615C`. Now paste or type the ID of the secret key that you would like to use. Be careful to enter it correctly, because your input isn't verified. Confirm to save this key ID.
This key ID will be used to digitally sign or send an encrypted message with your account. For this to work, Thunderbird needs a copy of your public key. At this time, Thunderbird doesn't fetch the public key from `/usr/bin/qubes-gpg-client-wrapper`, you must manually import it. Export the key as follow (assuming the key ID would be `777402E6D301615C`):
```
[user@work-email ~]$ qubes-gpg-client-wrapper --armor --export 777402E6D301615C > 777402E6D301615C.asc
```
Use Thunderbird's Tools menu to open OpenPGP Key Management. In that window, use the File menu to access the Import Public Key command. Open the file with your public key. After the import was successfull, you must open the key details, and you must mark your own key as **accepted**.
Open the Account Settings and open the *End-to-End Encryption* tab of the respective email account. Click the *Add Key* button. You'll be offered the choice *Use your external key through GnuPG*. Select it and click Continue.
Once this is done, you should be able to send an encrypted and signed email. You can try it by sending an email to yourself.

After the import was successfull, right click on the imported key in the list and select *Key Properties*. You must mark your own key as *Yes, I've verified in person this key has the correct fingerprint*.
Once this is done, you should be able to send an encrypted and signed email by selecting *Require Encryption* or *Digitally Sign This Message* in the compose menu *Options* or *Security* toolbar button. You can try it by sending an email to yourself.
