Time Narration
00:00 Welcome to the tutorial on Account Settings and Configuring Gmail Account.
00:06 In this tutorial, we will learn :
00:09 * How to add new folders to an email account.
00:13 * Set advanced filters to search for messages.
00:18 * Manage message filters.
00:20 We will also learn to:
00:22 * Configure Yahoo account manually.
00:25 * Manage multiple e-mail accounts.
00:28 * Change account settings for a mail account.
00:32 * Delete an email account.
00:34 Here, we are using Mozilla Thunderbird 13.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.
00:42 Click on the Thunderbird icon in the Launcher.
00:45 The Thunderbird window opens.
00:48 Let’s add another folder to this account.
00:51 From the left panel, select the account STUSERONE at GMAIL dot COM.
00:58 Right-click on the account STUSERONE at gmail dot com and select New Folder.
01:06 The New Folder dialog-box appears.
01:09 In the Name field, enter "Important Mails".
01:13 Click Create Folder. The folder is created!
01:18 Now, you can move important mails from the Inbox to this folder.
01:23 Let’s select, drag and drop this mail from the Inbox to the Important Mails folder.
01:30 You can search for messages using various filter options.
01:36 Now, from the left panel, select the account STUSERONE@gmail dot com.
01:43 In the right panel, under Advanced Features, click Search Messages.
01:48 The Search Messages dialog-box appears.
01:52 Let us use the default settings to search for the messages.
01:57 The "Match all of the following" option is selected by default.
02:02 "Subject" and "Contains" are also selected, by default.
02:08 In the next field, type: "Ten interesting". Click Search.
02:13 The mails that match the subject name are displayed.
02:18 You can also save these searches in a folder.
02:22 Pause this tutorial and do this assignment.
02:25 Search for mail by date and save them in a folder.
02:31 Let’s close this dialog-box.
02:35 Let’s create a new filter for this mail account.
02:39 A filter is a rule that you can apply to sort the messages in your mail-box.
02:44 Here, we shall move all the mails with the subject 'Thunderbird' to the Important Mails folder.
02:52 From the left panel, select the account STUSERONE@gmail dot com.
02:58 Under Advanced Features, click Manage message filters.
03:03 The Message Filters dialog-box appears. Click on tab New.
03:09 The Filter Rules dialog-box appears.
03:12 In the Filter name field, enter subject "Thunderbird".
03:16 Again, let’s use the default settings to set the filter.
03:21 The Match all of the following option is selected by default.
03:26 Subject and Contains are also selected by default.
03:30 In the next field, type: "Thunderbird".
03:33 Next, under the Perform these actions field, let’s change the option to Move Message to.
03:41 Click the next drop-down, browse and select the folder Important Mails. Click OK.
03:49 The Filter is displayed in the Message Filters dialog-box. Click Run Now.
03:58 Close the dialog-box. Now, click the Important Mails folder.
04:04 Notice, that the mails with the Subject 'Thunderbird' have been moved to this folder.
04:12 You can manage multiple email accounts with Thunderbird.
04:15 This means, you can receive, send and manage mails not only in your Gmail but also Yahoo or any other mail account using Thunderbird.
04:26 As you know, Gmail accounts are automatically configured by Thunderbird.
04:31 Other accounts must be configured manually.
04:35 Let’s configure the Yahoo account- STUSERTWO@yahoo dot in, through Thunderbird.
04:44 I have already enabled 'POP' in the Yahoo account.
04:48 How did I do it? First, I logged into my yahoo account. <Pause>
04:54 Next, open a fresh browser and in the address bar, type: "www.yahoo.in".
05:02 Now enter the user name STUSERTWO at yahoo.in and then the password.
05:11 From the top-left corner, click Options and Mail Options.
05:16 In the left panel, click POP and Forwarding.
05:21 Select Access Yahoo Mail via POP.
05:24 Click Close the tab.
05:28 A dialog-box with the message to save changes appears. Click Save.
05:33 Now, let’s log out of Yahoo and close the browser.
05:39 Now, from the right panel, under Accounts, click Create New Account.
05:45 The Mail Account Setup dialog-box appears.
05:49 Now, let’s enter name as "USERTWO".
05:53 Next, in Email address, let’s enter the Yahoo-id: STUSERTWO@YAHOO.IN.
06:03 Then, type the password. Click Continue.
06:10 The Mail Account Setup dialog-box appears.
06:13 In the Incoming Server Name field, select POP3 and enter the server hostname as pop dot mail dot yahoo dot com.
06:26 We select POP3 as we want to check mails offline and therefore download all the mails to our local computer.
06:35 In the Incoming field-
06:37 For Port, enter the port number for yahoo, that is, 110.
06:43 In the SSL drop-down, select STARTTLS.
06:48 Click the Authentication drop-down and select Normal password.
06:53 In the Outgoing field-
06:55 In the Server Name, select SMTP and enter the Server hostname as: "smtp.mail.yahoo.com".
07:05 For Port, enter the port number for yahoo, that is, 465.
07:12 In the SSL drop-down, select SSL/TLS.
07:17 Click the Authentication drop-down and select Normal password.
07:23 In the User Name field, let’s enter the name "STUSERTWO".
07:28 The Create Account button is enabled.
07:32 Click Create Account.
07:34 The Yahoo account is configured.
07:37 Depending on your Internet connection, this may take a few minutes.
07:42 Notice that the right panel in the Thunderbird window, now displays the Yahoo account.
07:48 Let’s click on Inbox.
07:50 All the mails from the Yahoo account have been downloaded here.
07:55 You can now use Thunderbird to not only view mails received from your Yahoo and Gmail accounts,
08:01 but also mange the two accounts at one go!
08:05 Now, let’s look at the preference settings that are available for email accounts in Thunderbird.
08:13 You may want to:
08:14 * Have a copy of the mails sent through Thunderbird, stored in the Gmail account.
08:20 * Quote original messages when replying
08:24 * Identify junk messages or,
08:26 * Not download certain messages if the disk space on your computer is full.
08:34 From the left panel, let’s select the Gmail account.
08:38 The Thunderbird Mail dialog-box appears.
08:42 From the right panel, under Accounts, click View Settings for this account.
08:47 The Account Settings dialog-box appears.
08:50 In the left panel, again select the Gmail account. Now, click on Server Settings.
08:58 The Server Settings are displayed in the right panel.
09:02 In the check-box Check for new messages every, enter 20.
09:08 Thunderbird will now check for messages every 20 minutes.
09:12 Check the box Empty Trash on Exit.
09:15 All messages in the Trash folder will be deleted whenever you exit Thunderbird.
09:22 In the same manner you can customize your server settings.
09:27 In a similar manner, we can also set options to:
09:30 * create copies of mails
09:33 * save draft mails
09:35 * change the location of the mails saved.
09:39 From the left panel, click Copies and Folders.
09:44 The Copies and Folders dialog-box is displayed on the right panel.
09:49 Let’s keep these default options as they are.
09:53 Notice, the option Place a copy in and 'Sent' Folder on are already selected.
10:00 To set options to save disk space, from the left panel, let’s select Disc Space.
10:08 Now, from the right panel, you will see the option To save disc space, do not download.
10:16 Check the box Messages larger than.
10:19 Now, in the KB field, enter 60.
10:24 Thunderbird will not download messages that are greater than 60KB.
10:30 Another useful Thunderbird feature is Identify Junk Messages.
10:35 You can train Thunderbird to identify junk and non-junk messages.
10:41 To do this, you must first set Junk Settings and then mark mails as junk and non-junk.
10:48 Initially, you must identify Junk mail manually
10:52 by clicking the Junk Mail button for each mail. Over time,
10:56 based on your selections,
10:59 Thunderbird will automatically identify “junk” mail
11:03 and move it to the Junk folder.
11:07 In the Account Settings dialog-box, from the left panel, click Junk Settings.
11:13 The Junk Settings dialog-box appears on the right-panel.
11:18 Notice that the Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account box is checked by default.
11:27 Under the Do not mark mail as junk if the sender is in list, check all the options.
11:35 Select the "Move new junk message to" field and select Junk folder on option. Click OK.
11:44 Now, click on Inbox and select the first mail.
11:48 The contents of the mail are displayed in the bottom panel.
11:52 Click the Junk icon.
11:54 Notice that the header 'Junk Mail' is displayed.
11:58 In a similar manner, you can set other preferences too!
12:03 Finally, can we delete a mail account that we configured in Thunderbird? Yes, we can!
12:10 From the left panel, select the account STUSERONE@gmail dot com.
12:16 From the right panel, under Accounts, select View Settings for this account.
12:21 The Account Settings dialog-box appears.
12:25 From the bottom left corner, click Account Actions and then click Remove Account.
12:32 A warning message is displayed.
12:35 If we click on OK, the account will be deleted.
12:39 However, for the purposes of this tutorial, we will not delete this account.
12:45 So, we will click Cancel.
12:47 Let’s close this dialog-box.
12:51 Remember, when you delete an email account,
12:53 all the folders and the mails
12:56 corresponding to that email account
12:58 will be deleted from Thunderbird.
13:00 Details may still be displayed in the left panel of the Mozilla Thunderbird window.
13:06 However, when you log in again, they will no longer be displayed.
13:12 This concludes this tutorial on Mozilla Thunderbird 10.0.2.
13:18 In this tutorial, we learnt how to:
13:20 * Add new folders to an email account.
13:24 * Set advanced filters to search for messages.
