Get email content (text) if using a program

0

Hello, sorry if it has been answered before, I didn't find it.

I found several tutorials on how to get the text of an email using Wireshark, but only if it is sent via browser/webmail. Can I also do that when it is sent via email program (outlook, thunderbird, ...)? If so, how?

Outlook / Office365 on my work system uses TLS, so no. For Thunderbird, only if they are using an unencrypted connection - watch the IMAP/POP/SMTP ports and see what you see.
