Using TorBirdy is fine - the two time leaks are very small issues
compared to using Thunderbird without TorBirdy. This is especially so
for weak crypto, or a total lack of crypto, which may be possible
without TorBirdy.

It isn't perfect but it is a whole lot better than plain old
SMTP/POP/IMAP, HTML email, etc, etc.

All the best,
Jacob
