| Time | Narration |
| 00:00 | Welcome to the tutorial on Introduction to Mozilla Thunderbird. |
| 00:04 | In this tutorial, we will learn about Mozilla Thunderbird and |
| 00:09 | how to download, install and launch Thunderbird. |
| 00:13 | We will also learn how to: |
| 00:15 | Configure a new email account, Download and read messages |
| 00:20 | Compose and send mail messages, Log out of Thunderbird. |
| 00:26 | Mozilla Thunderbird is a simple email client. |
| 00:29 | It is a cross platform software which means it can run on various operating systems. |
| 00:35 | It allows you to download email messages |
| 00:39 | from your other mail accounts to your local computer. |
| 00:42 | It also lets you manage multiple email accounts. |
| 00:47 | Thunderbird also has some advanced features. |
| 00:50 | You can import all your email data like Mail folders and Address book from other mail accounts like Gmail, Yahoo and Eudora. |
| 01:01 | If you use POP3, you can |
| 01:04 | combine all POP3 accounts into a single Inbox in Thunderbird. |
| 01:09 | You can group messages by attributes such as |
| 01:12 | Date, Sender, Priority or a Custom label. |
| 01:18 | Here we are using Mozilla Thunderbird 13.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04. |
| 01:26 | If you do not have Mozilla Thunderbird installed on your computer, you can install it by using Ubuntu Software Centre. |
| 01:33 | For more information on Ubuntu Software Centre, please visit this website. |
| 01:40 | You can also download and install Thunderbird from the Mozilla website. |
| 01:46 | Mozilla Thunderbird is also available for |
| 01:48 | Microsoft Windows 2000 or later versions such as MS Windows XP or MS Windows 7. |
| 01:56 | For more information about this, please visit the Mozilla website. |
| 02:02 | To use Mozilla Thunderbird, you must have at least two valid email addresses. |
| 02:08 | You must also ensure that POP3 option is enabled in the email accounts. |
| 02:15 | And, you must ensure that you are connected to the Internet. |
| 02:19 | Let’s launch Thunderbird. |
| 02:22 | First click on Dash Home which is the round button, on the top left corner of your computer desktop. |
| 02:29 | The Search box appears. |
| 02:31 | Now, type: "Thunderbird". The Thunderbird icon appears. |
| 02:37 | Click on it to open the application. |
| 02:40 | The Mail Account Setup dialog-box opens. |
| 02:43 | Let’s close this by clicking on the red cross button on the top-left. |
| 02:49 | The Mozilla Thunderbird application opens. |
| 02:53 | First, let’s familiarize ourselves with the Mozilla Thunderbird interface. |
| 02:59 | The Mozilla Thunderbird interface has a Main menu with various options. |
| 03:05 | Shortcut icons are available below the Main menu on the Menu bar. |
| 03:11 | For example- there are shortcut icons for Get Mail, Write and Address Book. |
| 03:18 | Thunderbird is divided into two panels. |
| 03:21 | The left panel displays the folders in your Thunderbird account. |
| 03:26 | As we have not configured a mail account yet, this panel will not display any folders now. |
| 03:33 | The right panel consists of options for Email, Accounts, Advanced Features and so on. |
| 03:41 | For the purpose of this tutorial, we have already |
| 03:44 | created two email accounts. They are: |
| 03:48 | STUSERONE at gmail dot com, STUSERTWO at yahoo dot in. |
| 03:56 | We recommend that you use 2 of your email accounts. |
| 04:02 | I have also enabled the POP3 option in these two mail accounts. |
| 04:07 | How did I enable POP3 in Gmail? |
| 04:11 | First, login to the Gmail account. |
| 04:14 | Open a fresh browser and in the address bar, type: "www.gmail.com". |
| 04:21 | Now, enter the user name STUSERONE at gmail dot com and then the password. |
| 04:30 | Click on the Settings icon on the top-right of the Gmail window. Click on the Settings option. |
| 04:40 | The Settings window appears. Click the Forwarding and POP (slash)/ IMAP tab. |
| 04:48 | In the POP download, I have selected 'Enable POP for all mail'. |
| 04:53 | Then click Save Changes. |
| 04:56 | The Gmail Mail window appears. |
| 04:58 | POP3 is now enabled in Gmail! |
| 05:02 | Let’s log out of Gmail and close this browser. |
| 05:08 | Let’s configure the STUSERONE at gmail dot com account in Thunderbird. |
| 05:15 | Gmail accounts are automatically configured by Thunderbird. |
| 05:19 | We shall learn about manual configurations for other email accounts in later tutorials. |
| 05:26 | First, make sure that your network connection is configured correctly. |
| 05:31 | From the Main menu, select Edit and Preferences. |
| 05:36 | The Thunderbird Preferences dialog-box appears. |
| 05:39 | Click on Advanced, select Network & DiskSpace tab and click Settings. |
| 05:48 | In the Connection Settings dialog-box, select the Use system proxy settings option. |
| 05:56 | Click OK. Click Close. |
| 06:00 | Now, let’s create a new account using the Accounts option. |
| 06:05 | From the right panel of the Thunderbird, under Accounts, click Create a New Account. |
| 06:12 | The Mail Account Setup dialog-box appears. |
| 06:17 | Enter the name as "STUSERONE". |
| 06:20 | Enter the Email address as STUSERONE at gmail dot com. |
| 06:27 | And finally, enter the Password of the Gmail account. |
| 06:32 | Next, click on Continue. |
| 06:36 | The message- "Configuration found in Mozilla ISP database" appears. |
| 06:42 | Next, select POP3. |
| 06:46 | Some times an error message- |
| 06:49 | "Thunderbird failed to find the settings" may be displayed. |
| 06:53 | This indicates, that Thunderbird was not able to configure Gmail settings automatically. |
| 06:59 | In such a case, you must configure the settings manually. |
| 07:04 | Now, click on the Manual Config button. |
| 07:08 | The configuration settings for Gmail are displayed. |
| 07:12 | As Thunderbird has already configured Gmail settings correctly, we will not change them. |
| 07:19 | Pause this video and make a note of these settings. |
| 07:24 | To configure Gmail manually, you must enter these settings in the respective fields. |
| 07:30 | When the settings are configured manually, the Create Account button is enabled. |
| 07:36 | In this tutorial, Thunderbird has configured Gmail correctly. |
| 07:41 | So, let’s click Create Account. |
| 07:44 | This could take a few minutes depending on your Internet speed. |
| 07:52 | The Gmail account is created and is displayed on the right panel. |
| 07:56 | Note that the left panel now displays the email ID: STUSERONE at gmail dot com. |
| 08:04 | Under this Gmail account, various mail folders are displayed. |
| 08:09 | Now from the left panel, under the Gmail account, click Inbox. Click the Get Mail icon. |
| 08:18 | Note the status bar at the bottom of the Thunderbird window. |
| 08:22 | It displays the number of messages that are being downloaded. |
| 08:27 | All email messages from the Gmail account STUSERONE at gmail dot com are now downloaded into the Inbox. |
| 08:36 | Click on Inbox and select a message. |
| 08:39 | The message is displayed in the panel below. |
| 08:43 | Let’s double-click on the message. |
| 08:46 | It opens in a new tab. |
| 08:49 | Let’s close this tab by clicking on the 'X' icon, at the top right of the tab. |
| 08:55 | Let’s compose a message and send it to the account STUSERTWO at yahoo dot in. |
| 09:03 | From the Mail toolbar, click Write. |
| 09:07 | The Write dialog-box appears. |
| 09:10 | The From field displays your name and the Gmail ID. |
| 09:14 | In the To field, let’s enter STUSERTWO at yahoo dot in. |
| 09:20 | Let’s type the text- "Hi, I now have an email account in Thunderbird!", in the body of the mail. |
| 09:29 | Now, let’s select the text and increase the font size. |
| 09:33 | Now, click the Larger font size icon. This increases the Font size. |
| 09:40 | To change the colour of the text, first select it and click the Choose colour for text icon. |
| 09:47 | The Text Color dialog-box appears. Let’s click Red and click OK. |
| 09:55 | The color of the text has changed. |
| 09:58 | Let’s insert a smiley now! Click on the Insert a Smiley face icon. |
| 10:04 | From the Smiley list, click Smile. A smiley is inserted. |
| 10:11 | You can also do a spell check on your mail. |
| 10:15 | Let’s change the spelling of "have" to "heve". |
| 10:20 | Click Spelling and select English (US). |
| 10:24 | The Check Spelling dialog-box appears, highlighting the misspelled word. |
| 10:30 | It also displays the correct spelling. Click Replace. Click Close to exit. |
| 10:38 | To set spelling preferences- from the Main menu, click Edit and Preferences. |
| 10:44 | From the Preferences dialog-box, click Composition. |
| 10:48 | You can then check the options you require. Click Close. |
| 10:54 | Now, to send the mail, simply click on the Send button. |
| 10:59 | A Subject Reminder dialog-box appears. |
| 11:03 | This is because we did not enter a Subject for this mail. |
| 11:07 | To send the mail without a Subject line, you can click on Send Without Subject. |
| 11:13 | Click Cancel Sending. |
| 11:16 | Now, in the Subject field, type: "My First Email From Thunderbird". |
| 11:21 | Click Send. Your email has been sent. Let’s check it. |
| 11:29 | We have to open the STUSERTWO@yahoo.in account and check the Inbox. |
| 11:37 | So, let’s login to 'Yahoo'. |
| 11:47 | In the Yahoo login page, type the Yahoo ID "STUSERTWO". Enter your password. |
| 11:56 | Click Inbox. The Inbox shows mail received from the Gmail account! |
| 12:03 | Click on the mail to open it. |
| 12:05 | You can use the Reply button and reply to the mail. But here, let’s compose a new mail. |
| 12:13 | Let’s click on Compose. |
| 12:16 | In the To field, enter the address STUSERONE at gmail dot com. |
| 12:23 | In the Subject field, enter "Congrats!". |
| 12:27 | Type: "Glad you got a new account", in the mail. |
| 12:32 | Click the Send button and log out of Yahoo. |
| 12:37 | Let’s close this browser. |
| 12:39 | Let’s check Thunderbird now. |
| 12:42 | Click Get Mail and click on Get All New Messages. |
| 12:48 | From the left panel, under your Gmail account ID, click Inbox. |
| 12:53 | The new message sent from the yahoo account is displayed in the Inbox. |
| 12:58 | The contents of the mail are displayed in the panel below. |
| 13:03 | You can reply to this mail, using Reply button. |
| 13:07 | We have successfully sent, received and viewed email messages using Thunderbird. |
| 13:14 | To log out of Thunderbird, from the Main menu, click File and Quit. |
