Hello. I am still using TB version 68.9.0 (64bit) and Enigmail. Will I still have access to my Enigmail e-mails whe I install the latest TB update? Regards,

The short answer is 'yes'.

As of TB78 OpenPGP is built into Thunderbird. Read the article to understand the differences, and the migration process. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Migration-From-Enigmail

It is recommended to set a master/primary password to protect your private key(s). https://www.ghacks.net/2020/12/07/you-need-to-use-a-master-password-in-thunderbird-if-you-use-openpgp/
