00:00	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on How to Use Thunderbird.
00:05	In this tutorial, we will learn how to:
00:07	Add the Thunderbird shortcut to the launcher
00:10	Tag messages, Quick Filter, Sort and Thread messages.
00:17	We will also learn to: Save As and Print Messages
00:21	Attach a File, Archive Messages
00:24	View the Activity Manager.
00:27	Here we are using Mozilla Thunderbird 13.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.
00:36	As we access Thunderbird quite often, let’s create a shortcut icon for it.
00:43	Let’s drag and drop the Thunderbird shortcut icon on to the Launcher.
00:49	First, click Dash Home.
00:52	In the Search field that appears, type: "Thunderbird".
00:57	The Thunderbird icon appears under the Search field.
01:01	Select it and do not release the left mouse button.
01:06	Now, drag and drop the icon to the Launcher
01:09	and release the left mouse-button.
01:12	Click Dash home to close it.
01:14	Click on the Thunderbird icon in the Launcher.
01:19	The Thunderbird window opens.
01:23	Under STUSERONE at gmail dot com ID, click Inbox.
01:29	Notice that some messages are in bold.
01:32	These are the unread messages.
01:35	Click the Get Mail icon and select Get All New Messages.
01:41	We have received messages from the Gmail account.
01:45	Let’s say we want to sort these messages by Sender.
01:49	Simply click on the column heading From.
01:52	The messages are now sorted in an alphabetical order.
01:57	Let’s click on From once again.
02:01	The messages are sorted in the reverse alphabetic order now!
02:06	Now, let’s sort by Subject.
02:09	Simply click on Subject.
02:12	The messages are sorted by Subject now!
02:16	Pause this tutorial and try out this assignment.
02:20	Sort the messages by Date received.
02:24	You can also tag messages.
02:26	This way you can easily identify messages you want to open again.
02:32	You can also use tags to group similar messages together.
02:37	Let’s say you want to tag a mail as Important.
02:40	Click on Inbox, select the first mail.
02:44	Click the Tag icon from the toolbar and select Important.
02:51	Notice that the mail is displayed in the colour red.
02:54	Look at the bottom panel.
02:57	The mail is tagged as "Important".
03:00	To remove the tag, first select the mail.
03:04	From the toolbar, click the Tag icon and click Important again.
03:09	Let’s tag the the first mail in the Inbox as Important and the second mail as Work.
03:17	Suppose we want to view only the mails that have been tagged, in the right panel.
03:22	Would it be possible to do this?
03:25	You can use the Quick Filter toolbar to quickly filter and view messages.
03:31	To view messages that are tagged, from the Quick Filter toolbar, click on the icon Tagged.
03:37	Only the messages that we tagged are displayed!
03:42	Let’s click on the icon Tagged again.
03:45	We can view all the mails now!
03:49	Let’s learn about Message Threads now.
03:52	What are Message Threads? Related messages that are displayed in a
03:57	sequence or as a conversation are called Message Threads.
04:02	We use message threads to view related messages as one entire conversation, in a continuous flow.
04:10	Let us now learn how to do this.
04:14	Click on the Click to display message threads icon, in the left corner of the Inbox.
04:21	The mails are displayed as a conversation.
04:24	To view the full conversation, click on the Threading symbol present next to the corresponding thread.
04:33	The entire conversation is visible in the message preview panel.
04:38	To come out of the Thread view, simply click on the Thread icon again.
04:45	Let us now learn how to save a mail to a folder and then print it.
04:50	For the purposes of this tutorial,
04:53	we have created a new folder on the Desktop
04:56	and named it Saved Mails.
05:00	Let’s select and save the first mail.
05:04	Double-click on the mail.
05:06	It opens in a separate tab.
05:09	From the toolbar, click File >> Save As and File.
05:15	The Save Message As dialog-box appears.
05:19	Browse for Desktop and select the folder Saved Mails. Click Save.
05:26	The message is saved in the folder.
05:29	Let’s go to the Saved Mails folder.
05:33	Double-click on it and open it.
05:35	The mail opens in Gedit as a text file.
05:40	Let’s close and exit this file.
05:42	You can also save the message as a template.
05:46	From the toolbar, click File >> Save as & Templates
05:52	The message is saved in the Templates folder in Thunderbird.
05:56	From the Thunderbird left panel, click the Templates folder.
06:01	Select the mail and double-click.
06:04	It opens in a separate tab with the To address field filled with the contact, listed in the original mail.
06:13	You can now modify the content in this mail, add or delete contacts and send it.
06:20	Add the number 1 in the Subject.
06:23	To close the template, click the 'X' icon on the top left of the tab.
06:29	The Save Message dialog-box appears. Click Don’t Save.
06:36	Now, let’s print a message.
06:39	Click on Inbox and from the right panel, select the second mail and double-click on it.
06:46	It opens in a new tab.
06:50	From the Main menu, go to File and then select Print.
06:55	The Print dialog-box appears.
06:58	We shall print this mail on an 'A4' sheet, with Orientation as Portrait and make two copies of this mail.
07:08	Click the Page Setup tab.
07:11	In the Paper Size field, click on the drop-down list and select 'A4'.
07:16	In the Orientation field, click on the drop-down list and select Portrait.
07:22	Now, click the General tab.
07:25	In the Copies field, enter 2. Click Print.
07:31	If your printer is configured correctly, the mail must start printing now.
07:38	Let’s click Cancel to exit the Print dialog-box. Also, let’s close the Mail tab.
07:46	Now, let’s send a video as an attachment to the Yahoo account.
07:51	Let’s compose a new message.
07:54	From the Menu bar, click Write. The New Message window appears.
08:00	In the To field, type the first letter of the yahoo id, that is 'S'.
08:06	Notice that the yahoo mail-id is automatically filled.
08:11	In the Subject field, type: "Video Attachment".
08:16	From the toolbar, click Attach. The Attach Files dialog-box opens.
08:23	From the Desktop, select the file "What is a Spoken Tutorial.rar". Click Open.
08:34	The file is attached and the attachment is displayed at the top right corner. Click Send.
08:44	Let’s login to our yahoo account.
08:56	We have received the message with the attachment.
08:59	Let’s close the yahoo account.
09:03	We may receive an important message that we want to refer to.
09:07	But there may be many mails in the Inbox. Therefore it may be cluttered.
09:12	Thunderbird lets you archive such messages.
09:16	First we must check the archive settings.
09:20	From the left panel, click on the STUSERONE gmail account.
09:25	From the right panel, under Accounts, click View Settings for this account.
09:31	The Account Settings dialog-box appears.
09:35	From the left panel, click on the STUSERONE gmail account and click Copies & Folders.
09:43	The Message Archives options are enabled.
09:48	These options determine the folder in which the messages are archived.
09:53	If these options are not enabled, then:
09:57	check Keep message archives in box,
10:01	select the option "Archives Folder on" STUSERONE at gmail.com. Click OK.
10:10	Now, under the STUSERONE Gmail account, click on Inbox.
10:15	Let’s archive the third message.
10:19	From the right panel, select it.
10:21	Right-click for the context menu and select Archive.
10:27	The message is moved to the Archives folder, under the STUSERONE Gmail account.
10:36	It is no longer displayed in the Inbox.
10:39	And what if we want to view the actions that we did using Thunderbird?
10:44	This is simple too! The Activity Manager displays the list of actions carried out in Thunderbird.
10:52	From the Main menu, click Tools and Activity Manager.
10:57	The Activity Manager dialog-box appears.
11:01	You can now view the list to check all email activity!
11:05	Let’s close the Activity Manager dialog-box.
