6. Quick start
Run the email client you installed (Thunderbird or SeaMonkey). You will notice
a new submenu called OpenPGP in the menu bar: that's the submenu for all
Enigmail operations.
Select OpenPGP → Preferences to have access to the Enigmail preferences
window. There is a toggle button named Display Expert Settings / Hide Expert
Settings that displays or hides several options to fine tune your installation of
Enigmail. Throughout the rest of this handbook we'll assume you stay in Expert
Settings mode.
Enigmail is equipped with a Setup Wizard that can guide you through all steps
to configure Enigmail and have it ready to use. This is intended for
inexperienced users, but is not necessary: you may as well configure Enigmail
by hand, which will grant you a deeper knowledge of the mechanisms of
Enigmail.
The rest of this chapter is a step-by-step guide to the Setup Wizard followed by
a very basic explanation of the signing and encryption functions. If you decide
not to use the Setup Wizard, you can go directly to the next Chapter.
