Autocrypt

Convenient End-to-End Encryption for E-Mail

> you have to use it in your existing email client, and then you have to download keys, and then there’s this whole third issue of making sure they’re the right keys. If you use Thunderbird as your email client, then it will download the right keys for you automatically.[0] Actually it's two clicks to use the WKD support to download the key (assuming your correspondent's email provider supports that, as ProtonMail does[1]) or the keys are already downloaded if they are included as an attachment or as a header (which is the case if your correspondent is using a client that supports Autocrypt[2]). As with other E2E encrypted systems, you should check these keys(' fingerprints) out of band, otherwise your security only follows the TOFU model, but this is still a huge improvement over non-PGP email and doesn't require any special understanding of cryptography.
