00.24 | Here we are using Mozilla Thunderbird 13.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04. |
00.32 | What is an Address Book? |
00.34 | An address book works the same way as the Contacts feature in your mobile phone. |
00.39 | You can use the Address Book to create and maintain contacts. |
00.45 | There are two types of Address Books in Thunderbird: |
00.48 | Personal address book allows you to create new contacts. |
00.53 | Collected address book automatically collects the email addresses from outgoing or sent mails. |
00.59 | Click on the Thunderbird icon in the Launcher. |
