| 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> |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
