04.35 | Let’s configure the Yahoo account, STUSERTWO@yahoo dot in through Thunderbird. |

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 |

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. |

09.49 | Let’s keep these default options as they are. |

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. |

11.54 | 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. |
