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. |
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. |

08:18 | Note the status bar at the bottom of the Thunderbird window. |

08:36 | Click on Inbox and select a message. |
