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 short cut to the launcher |
00:10 | Tag Messages
Quick Filter Sort and Thread Messages |
00:17 | We will also learn to: |
00:18 | Save As and Print Messages |
00:21 | Attach a File |
00:22 | 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 short cut icon for it. |
00:43 | Let’s drag and drop the Thunderbird short cut 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 | 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. |
