Thunderbird's Sender Verification Extension helps users avoid phishing by verifying sender information. This software feature adds an extra layer of security to protect users from fraudulent emails.
To install Sender Verification Extension for Thunderbird, you'll need Mozilla Thunderbird version 0.6 - 1.5.0.*. Once you have the correct version of Thunderbird, simply right-click the link above and choose "Save Link As..." to download and save the file to your hard disk. Then, in Mozilla Thunderbird, open the extension manager (Tools Menu/Extensions) and click the install button. Next, locate and select the file you downloaded and click "OK." That's it! You're now protected from phishing attacks.
In the latest release of Sender Verification Extension for Thunderbird, version 1.7.0, the SURBL/Spamhaus checks are now included in the verification bar rather than in popup alerts. Additionally, the Is This Server In Your Network automatic popup is turned off if any internal MTAs have already been configured. These updates make this software even more reliable and user-friendly than ever before. Try it out for yourself and stay protected from phishing attacks!
