|Here, we are using '''Mozilla Thunderbird 13.0.1''' on '''Ubuntu 12.04'''.  

|Click on the '''Thunderbird''' icon in the '''Launcher'''.  

|The '''Thunderbird window''' opens.  

|From the left panel, select the account '''STUSERONE at GMAIL dot COM'''.

|Right-click on the account '''STUSERONE at gmail dot com''' and select '''New Folder'''.  

|The '''New Folder''' dialog-box appears.  

|In the '''Name''' field, enter "Important Mails".  

|Click '''Create Folder'''. The folder is created!  

|Now, you can move important mails from the '''Inbox''' to this folder.  

|Let’s select, drag and drop this mail from the '''Inbox''' to the '''Important Mails''' folder.  

| You can search for messages using various '''filter''' options.

|Now, from the left panel, select the account '''STUSERONE@gmail dot com'''.  

|In the right panel, under '''Advanced Features''', click '''Search Messages'''.  

|The '''Search Messages''' dialog-box appears.  

| Let us use the default settings to search for the messages.  

|The "Match all of the following" option is selected by default.  

|"Subject" and "Contains" are also selected, by default.  

|In the next '''field''', type: "Ten interesting". Click '''Search'''.  

|You can also '''save''' these searches in a folder.  

|Let’s close this dialog-box.  

|Let’s create a new '''filter''' for this '''mail account'''.

|A '''filter''' is a rule that you can apply to sort the messages in your mail-box.  

|Here, we shall move all the mails with the '''subject 'Thunderbird'''' to the '''Important Mails''' folder.  

|From the left panel, select the account '''STUSERONE@gmail dot com'''.  

|Under '''Advanced Features''', click '''Manage message filters'''.  

|The '''Message Filters''' dialog-box appears. Click on tab '''New'''.

|The '''Filter Rules''' dialog-box appears.

|Next, under the '''Perform these actions''' field, let’s change the option to '''Move Message to'''.  

|Click the next drop-down, browse and select the folder '''Important Mails'''. Click '''OK'''.  

|The '''Filter''' is displayed in the '''Message Filters''' dialog-box. Click '''Run Now'''.  

|Close the dialog-box. Now, click the '''Important Mails''' folder.  

|Notice, that the mails with the '''Subject''' 'Thunderbird' have been moved to this folder.  

|This means, you can receive, send and manage mails not only in your Gmail but also Yahoo or any other mail account using Thunderbird.  

|Let’s configure the Yahoo account- '''STUSERTWO@yahoo dot in''', through Thunderbird.  

|I have already enabled 'POP' in the Yahoo account.  

|How did I do it? First, I logged into my yahoo account. <Pause>  

|Next, open a fresh browser and in the address bar, type: "www.yahoo.in".  

|Now enter the user name '''STUSERTWO at yahoo.in''' and then the password.

|From the top-left corner, click '''Options''' and '''Mail Options'''.  

|In the left panel, click '''POP and Forwarding'''.  

|Select '''Access Yahoo Mail via POP'''.  

|Click '''Close the tab'''.

|A dialog-box with the message to save changes appears. Click '''Save'''.  

|Now, let’s log out of Yahoo and close the '''browser'''.  

|Now, from the right panel, under '''Accounts''', click '''Create New Account'''.

|The '''Mail Account Setup''' dialog-box appears.  

|Now, let’s enter name as "USERTWO".  

|Next, in '''Email address''', let’s enter the Yahoo-id: '''STUSERTWO@YAHOO.IN'''.

|Then, type the password. Click '''Continue'''.  

|The '''Mail Account Setup''' dialog-box appears.  

|In the '''Incoming Server Name''' field, select '''POP3''' and enter the '''server hostname''' as '''pop dot mail dot yahoo dot com'''.

|We select '''POP3''' as we want to check mails offline and therefore download all the mails to our local computer.  

|In the '''Incoming''' field-

|For '''Port''', enter the '''port number''' for yahoo, that is, 110.  

|In the '''SSL''' drop-down, select '''STARTTLS'''.  

|Click the '''Authentication''' drop-down and select '''Normal password'''.  

|In the '''Outgoing''' field-

|In the '''Server Name''', select '''SMTP''' and enter the '''Server hostname''' as: "smtp.mail.yahoo.com".  

|For '''Port''', enter the '''port number''' for yahoo, that is, 465.

|In the '''SSL''' drop-down, select '''SSL/TLS'''.  

|Click the '''Authentication''' drop-down and select '''Normal password'''.  

|In the '''User Name''' field, let’s enter the name "STUSERTWO".

|Depending on your Internet connection, this may take a few minutes.

|Notice that the right panel in the Thunderbird '''window''', now displays the '''Yahoo account'''.  

|Let’s click on '''Inbox'''.  

|Now, let’s look at the '''preference settings''' that are available for email accounts in Thunderbird.  

|You may want to: Have a copy of the mails sent through Thunderbird, stored in the Gmail account.

|From the left panel, click '''Copies and Folders'''.

|Now, from the right panel, you will see the option '''To save disc space, do not download'''.

|Check the box '''Messages larger than'''.  

|Now, in the '''KB''' field, enter 60.

|Another useful Thunderbird feature is '''Identify Junk Messages'''.  

|You can train Thunderbird to identify junk and non-junk messages.  

|To do this, you must first set '''Junk Settings''' and then mark mails as junk and non-junk.  

|Initially, you must identify '''Junk mail''' manually   

|by clicking the '''Junk Mail''' button for each mail. Over time,  

|based on your selections,  

|and move it to the '''Junk folder'''.  

|In the '''Account Settings''' dialog-box, from the left panel, click '''Junk Settings'''.  

|The '''Junk Settings''' dialog-box appears on the right-panel.

|Notice that the '''Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account''' box is checked by default.  

|Under the '''Do not mark mail as junk if the sender is in''' list, check all the options.  

|Select the '''"Move new junk message to"''' field and select '''Junk folder on''' option. Click '''OK'''.  

|Now, click on '''Inbox''' and select the first mail.

|Click the '''Junk''' icon.  

|Notice that the '''header''' 'Junk Mail' is displayed.  

|In a similar manner, you can set other '''preferences''' too!

|From the right panel, under '''Accounts''', select '''View Settings for this account'''.  

|The '''Account Settings''' dialog-box appears.

|So, we will click '''Cancel'''.  

|Let’s close this dialog-box.  

|all the '''folder'''s and the '''mail'''s

|corresponding to that '''email account'''

|will be deleted from Thunderbird.  

|However, when you log in again, they will no longer be displayed.
