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, 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.
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.
