+# Thunderbird Configuration on Windows for Secure Mail
+[[Prev|thunderbird]] | *step 17 of 17* | **End**
+
+## Tell Thunderbird how much you trust your correspondent
+
+ 1. Under *OpenPGP | Key Management* (*then right-click on the key you
+    want*) you can set the trust level you have for your correspondent
+   * This trust level is private: no-one knows how you have
+     set owner trust for a key
+   * If you trust a key at least marginally you won't get
+     the annoying dialog box asking you to check a key
+     every time you send an e-mail
+ 1. Note: typically people *sign* each other's keys to
+    vouch that the public key of a person corresponds to their
+    real identity
+   * Signing someone's key only says you believe that their public
+     key belongs to them (*not that you trust them*).
+   * Key signing is beyond the scope of this tutorial
+ 1. Congratulations :) You can now send and receive secure e-mail!
