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 familiarize ourselves with the Mozilla Thunderbird interface.
02:59	The Mozilla Thunderbird interface has a Main menu with various options.
03:05	Shortcut 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. 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 (slash)/ 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 & 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.
08:09	Now from the left panel, under the Gmail account, click Inbox. Click the Get Mail icon.
08:18	Note the status bar at the bottom of the Thunderbird window.
08:22	It displays the number of messages that are being downloaded.
08:27	All email messages from the Gmail account STUSERONE at gmail dot com are now downloaded into the Inbox.
08:36	Click on Inbox and select a message.
08:39	The message is displayed in the panel below.
08:43	Let’s double-click on the message.
08:46	It opens in a new tab.
08:49	Let’s close this tab by clicking on the 'X' icon, at the top right of the tab.
08:55	Let’s compose a message and send it to the account STUSERTWO at yahoo dot in.
09:03	From the Mail toolbar, click Write.
09:07	The Write dialog-box appears.
09:10	The From field displays your name and the Gmail ID.
09:14	In the To field, let’s enter STUSERTWO at yahoo dot in.
09:20	Let’s type the text- "Hi, I now have an email account in Thunderbird!", in the body of the mail.
09:29	Now, let’s select the text and increase the font size.
09:33	Now, click the Larger font size icon. This increases the Font size.
09:40	To change the colour of the text, first select it and click the Choose colour for text icon.

10:54	Now, to send the mail, simply click on the Send button.
10:59	A Subject Reminder dialog-box appears.
11:03	This is because we did not enter a Subject for this mail.
11:07	To send the mail without a Subject line, you can click on Send Without Subject.
11:13	Click Cancel Sending.
11:16	Now, in the Subject field, type: "My First Email From Thunderbird".
11:21	Click Send. Your email has been sent. Let’s check it.
11:29	We have to open the STUSERTWO@yahoo.in account and check the Inbox.
