Does Endpoint Protector Inspect Content Sent Through Thunderbird?

Question

Does Endpoint Protector inspect content sent through Thunderbird?

Answer

For Thunderbird version 38.0 and earlier, you can inspect all email content, including the body, subject, sender, recipients, and attachments. For Thunderbird versions later than 38.0, you can inspect file attachments only.

Using the Content Aware Protection module, you can inspect content sent through various email clients, such as Outlook and Thunderbird. You can scan the email body, subject, sender, recipients, and create a file shadow of the body content, where supported. This functionality relies in part on email client add-ons.

Thunderbird changed its add-on implementation policy after version 38.0. As a result, you can only filter attachments in newer Thunderbird versions.

NOTE: To use the full content inspection features with Thunderbird, do not update beyond version 38.0.
