About Privacy Config
Dove is a suite of configurations and modifications for Mozilla Thunderbird focused on privacy, security, freedom, functionality and usability. It uses Thunderbird's AutoConfig and Enterprise Policies and installs on top of a standard, official Thunderbird installation rather than replacing it as a fork, so users continue to receive updates directly from Mozilla.
