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 dialogue 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 familiarise ourselves with the Mozilla Thunderbird interface.
02:59 The Mozilla Thunderbird interface has a Main menu with various options.
03:05 Short cut 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.for the purpose of this tutorial. 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/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 and 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.

08:36 Click on Inbox and select a message.
08:39 The message is displayed in the panel below.
