Is there any way to configure Thunderbird so that it would verify DKIM signatures of incoming mail, and show a status icon a bit like the HTTPS indicator in browsers?

The following extension verifies DKIM signatures: https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/addon/dkim-verifier/

Wiki with some more information on the extension: https://github.com/lieser/dkim_verifier/wiki

See this extension: https://github.com/axic/tb-dkim-headers

You may combine it with the Mnenhy extension to show the "Authentication-Results" header.

  • Can you expand your answer and add some details? – studiohack Nov 01 '11 at 22:56

    It seems that the first extension requires the MTA to add these headers, with all the problems of knowing whether to trust them or not. I don't get why that made it into the RFC; it's totally backwards. – RomanSt Nov 02 '11 at 14:37

    The linked extension on github doesn't actually perform DKIM verification. It just assumes that somebody else (say, your mail server) has already performed DKIM verification and placed the result in a header. The extension merely exposes this as a column. – Maxy-B Oct 24 '12 at 23:51
