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>

06:43 In the SSL drop-down, select STARTTLS.
06:48 Click the Authentication drop-down and select Normal password.
06:53 In the Outgoing field,

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

09:08 Thunderbird will now check for messages every 20 minutes.
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.

11:35 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.
