You haven’t mentioned passwords. Use a good one. [http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/936:_Password_Strength] EDIT: I’m not a security expert. I’m in the same boat with Bruce Schneier as far as my knowledge is concerned. I suppose someone with better mathematical skills could run a few calculations.
Also of note is that while you may tell Thunderbird to delete an email, it might actually still be stored on the email server itself so you might have to manually delete it from there.
Lastly you could also promote some GPG in there, although that’s a different can of worms.

And all the effort will go to waste if you die in a car crash, but “wear a seatbelt” still doesn’t belong in a discussion of “inbox zero”.
