 I am planning to limit the workshop content just to Thunderbird. I know there are x millions e-mail clients out there but I don't have the time to look into all of them. It might be the best to promote the event early and see if enough participants would go for this selection. I am planning to limit the workshop content just to Thunderbird.

 +==== Thunderbird with Enigmail ==== 
 +

 +
 +Alternative you become a customer and  (which can be used by Thunderbird). 
 + Start Thunderbird: 
 +Menu -> Internet -> Thunderbird 
 + Set up your new e-mail account in Thunderbird to use IMAP. (In the example, Yahoo Mail is used, but the method is the same for Gmail.) Make sure your firewall allows ports 993 (IMAP) and 465 (SMTP) and 11371 (HKP). 
 +Thunderbird -> file -> New -> Mail Account... -> (Enter Your name, Email address, Password) 
 +-> IMAP: Access folders and messages from multiple computers (ticked) -> Create Account 
 + Generate a new OpenPGP key pair: 
 +Thunderbird -> OpenPGP -> Key Management -> Generate -> New Key Pair -> (fill in desired passpharase, if any, and details) 
 + -> Advanced -> Key Size:4096-bits key -> Key type:  RSA  -> Generate key 
 + -> "We highly recommend to generate a revocation certificate for your key..." -> Generate Certificate 
 +This method will use pre-selected key servers stored in the default Thunderbird settings. If you wish to add selected key servers (such as keys.gnupg.net and keyserver.ubuntu.com): 
 +Thunderbird -> OpenPGP -> Preferences -> Keyserver -> Specify your keyserver(s): -> keys.gnupg.net, keyserver.ubuntu.com -> OK 
 + Turn off HTML in messages: 
 +Thunderbird -> (Email Account ID) -> Composition & Addressing -> Compose messages in HTML format (unticked) -> OK 
 + Send and sign encrypted email with your OpenPGP key. 
 +Thunderbird -> Write -> (compose message) -> OpenPGP -> Sign Message (ticked) -> Encrypt Message (ticked) -> Send
