Customise Thunderbird using a policy (tbpolicies.json)

Policy support also works with Thunderbird. This policy can be used to centrally specify and manage many default settings for the Thunderbird mail programme. The policy can be customised using a JSON file called tbpolicies.json to implement the policy.

In TightGate-Pro, the administrator can use the config to import a new policy (tbpolicies.json) for Thunderbird or remove an existing policy at any time.

Procedure:

• Create a Thunderbird policy (file name tbpolicies.json)
• Copy the created policy tbpolicies.json via TightGate-Schleuse, into the administrator's lock directory config.
• Login as administrator config at TightGate-Pro and selecting the menu item System Preferences > Import Thunderbird policy
• Please select the file tbpolicies.json file and confirm the selection with OK
• Do not forget Save and Apply
• Please log in with TightGate-Viewer, open Thunderbird and check whether the desired settings have been set.
