Revision as of 18:05, 18 May 2016
Time | Narration |
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
|
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 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. |
11:09 | Let’s exit Thunderbird by clicking on the red cross in the left corner of the Thunderbird window. |
11:16 | In this tutorial, we learnt how to: |
11:20 | * Add the Thunderbird shortcut to the launcher |
11:23 | * Tag Messages, Quick Filter,
Sort and Thread Messages. |
11:28 | We also learnt to: |
11:30 | Save As and Print Messages, Attach a File, |
11:34 | Archive Messages, View the Activity Manager. |
11:38 | Here is an assignment for you. |
11:41 | Login to Thunderbird, |
11:44 | view a message thread.
Save and print a message. |
11:48 | Select an email, right-click for the context menu. |
11:53 | Check all the options in it. |
11:56 | View the Activity Manager dialog-box. |
12:00 | Logout of Thunderbird. |
12:03 | Check the Activity Manager dialog-box again, when you login. |
