| Time | Narration |
| 00:00 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on How to Use Thunderbird. |
| 00:05 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to: |
| 00:07 | Add the Thunderbird shortcut to the launcher |
| 00:10 | Tag messages, Quick Filter, Sort and Thread messages. |
| 00:17 | We will also learn to: Save As and Print Messages |
| 00:21 | Attach a File, Archive Messages |
| 00:24 | View the Activity Manager. |
| 00:27 | Here we are using Mozilla Thunderbird 13.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04. |
| 00:36 | As we access Thunderbird quite often, let’s create a shortcut icon for it. |
| 00:43 | Let’s drag and drop the Thunderbird shortcut icon on to the Launcher. |
| 00:49 | First, click Dash Home. |
| 00:52 | In the Search field that appears, type: "Thunderbird". |
| 00:57 | The Thunderbird icon appears under the Search field. |
| 01:01 | Select it and do not release the left mouse button. |
| 01:06 | Now, drag and drop the icon to the Launcher |
| 01:09 | and release the left mouse-button. |
| 01:12 | Click Dash home to close it. |
| 01:14 | Click on the Thunderbird icon in the Launcher. |
| 01:19 | The Thunderbird window opens. |
| 01:23 | Under STUSERONE at gmail dot com ID, click Inbox. |
| 01:29 | Notice that some messages are in bold. |
| 01:32 | These are the unread messages. |
| 01:35 | Click the Get Mail icon and select Get All New Messages. |
| 01:41 | We have received messages from the Gmail account. |
| 01:45 | Let’s say we want to sort these messages by Sender. |
| 01:49 | Simply click on the column heading From. |
| 01:52 | The messages are now sorted in an alphabetical order. |
| 01:57 | Let’s click on From once again. |
| 02:01 | The messages are sorted in the reverse alphabetic order now! |
| 02:06 | Now, let’s sort by Subject. |
| 02:09 | Simply click on Subject. |
| 02:12 | The messages are sorted by Subject now! |
| 02:16 | Pause this tutorial and try out this assignment. |
| 02:20 | Sort the messages by Date received. |
| 02:24 | You can also tag messages. |
| 02:26 | This way you can easily identify messages you want to open again. |
| 02:32 | You can also use tags to group similar messages together. |
| 02:37 | Let’s say you want to tag a mail as Important. |
| 02:40 | Click on Inbox, select the first mail. |
| 02:44 | Click the Tag icon from the toolbar and select Important. |
| 02:51 | Notice that the mail is displayed in the colour red. |
| 02:54 | Look at the bottom panel. |
| 02:57 | The mail is tagged as "Important". |
| 03:00 | To remove the tag, first select the mail. |
| 03:04 | From the toolbar, click the Tag icon and click Important again. |
| 03:09 | Let’s tag the the first mail in the Inbox as Important and the second mail as Work. |
| 03:17 | Suppose we want to view only the mails that have been tagged, in the right panel. |
| 03:22 | Would it be possible to do this? |
| 03:25 | You can use the Quick Filter toolbar to quickly filter and view messages. |
| 03:31 | To view messages that are tagged, from the Quick Filter toolbar, click on the icon Tagged. |
| 03:37 | Only the messages that we tagged are displayed! |
| 03:42 | Let’s click on the icon Tagged again. |
| 03:45 | We can view all the mails now! |
| 03:49 | Let’s learn about Message Threads now. |
| 03:52 | What are Message Threads? Related messages that are displayed in a |
| 03:57 | sequence or as a conversation are called Message Threads. |
| 04:02 | We use message threads to view related messages as one entire conversation, in a continuous flow. |
| 04:10 | Let us now learn how to do this. |
| 04:14 | Click on the Click to display message threads icon, in the left corner of the Inbox. |
| 04:21 | The mails are displayed as a conversation. |
| 04:24 | To view the full conversation, click on the Threading symbol present next to the corresponding thread. |
| 04:33 | The entire conversation is visible in the message preview panel. |
| 04:38 | To come out of the Thread view, simply click on the Thread icon again. |
| 04:45 | Let us now learn how to save a mail to a folder and then print it. |
| 04:50 | For the purposes of this tutorial, |
| 04:53 | we have created a new folder on the Desktop |
| 04:56 | and named it Saved Mails. |
| 05:00 | Let’s select and save the first mail. |
| 05:04 | Double-click on the mail. |
| 05:06 | It opens in a separate tab. |
| 05:09 | From the toolbar, click File >> Save As and File. |
| 05:15 | The Save Message As dialog-box appears. |
| 05:19 | Browse for Desktop and select the folder Saved Mails. Click Save. |
| 05:26 | The message is saved in the folder. |
| 05:29 | Let’s go to the Saved Mails folder. |
| 05:33 | Double-click on it and open it. |
| 05:35 | The mail opens in Gedit as a text file. |
| 05:40 | Let’s close and exit this file. |
| 05:42 | You can also save the message as a template. |
| 05:46 | From the toolbar, click File >> Save as & Templates |
| 05:52 | The message is saved in the Templates folder in Thunderbird. |
| 05:56 | From the Thunderbird left panel, click the Templates folder. |
| 06:01 | Select the mail and double-click. |
| 06:04 | It opens in a separate tab with the To address field filled with the contact, listed in the original mail. |
| 06:13 | You can now modify the content in this mail, add or delete contacts and send it. |
| 06:20 | Add the number 1 in the Subject. |
| 06:23 | To close the template, click the 'X' icon on the top left of the tab. |
| 06:29 | The Save Message dialog-box appears. Click Don’t Save. |
| 06:36 | Now, let’s print a message. |
| 06:39 | Click on Inbox and from the right panel, select the second mail and double-click on it. |
| 06:46 | It opens in a new tab. |
| 06:50 | From the Main menu, go to File and then select Print. |
| 06:55 | The Print dialog-box appears. |
| 06:58 | We shall print this mail on an 'A4' sheet, with Orientation as Portrait and make two copies of this mail. |
| 07:08 | Click the Page Setup tab. |
| 07:11 | In the Paper Size field, click on the drop-down list and select 'A4'. |
| 07:16 | In the Orientation field, click on the drop-down list and select Portrait. |
| 07:22 | Now, click the General tab. |
| 07:25 | In the Copies field, enter 2. Click Print. |
| 07:31 | If your printer is configured correctly, the mail must start printing now. |
| 07:38 | Let’s click Cancel to exit the Print dialog-box. Also, let’s close the Mail tab. |
| 07:46 | Now, let’s send a video as an attachment to the Yahoo account. |
| 07:51 | Let’s compose a new message. |
| 07:54 | From the Menu bar, click Write. The New Message window appears. |
| 08:00 | In the To field, type the first letter of the yahoo id, that is 'S'. |
| 08:06 | Notice that the yahoo mail-id is automatically filled. |
| 08:11 | In the Subject field, type: "Video Attachment". |
| 08:16 | From the toolbar, click Attach. The Attach Files dialog-box opens. |
| 08:23 | From the Desktop, select the file "What is a Spoken Tutorial.rar". Click Open. |
| 08:34 | The file is attached and the attachment is displayed at the top right corner. Click Send. |
| 08:44 | Let’s login to our yahoo account. |
| 08:56 | We have received the message with the attachment. |
| 08:59 | Let’s close the yahoo account. |
| 09:03 | We may receive an important message that we want to refer to. |
| 09:07 | But there may be many mails in the Inbox. Therefore it may be cluttered. |
| 09:12 | Thunderbird lets you archive such messages. |
| 09:16 | First we must check the archive settings. |
| 09:20 | From the left panel, click on the STUSERONE gmail account. |
| 09:25 | From the right panel, under Accounts, click View Settings for this account. |
| 09:31 | The Account Settings dialog-box appears. |
| 09:35 | From the left panel, click on the STUSERONE gmail account and click Copies & Folders. |
| 09:43 | The Message Archives options are enabled. |
| 09:48 | These options determine the folder in which the messages are archived. |
| 09:53 | If these options are not enabled, then: |
| 09:57 | check Keep message archives in box, |
| 10:01 | select the option "Archives Folder on" STUSERONE at gmail.com. Click OK. |
| 10:10 | Now, under the STUSERONE Gmail account, click on Inbox. |
| 10:15 | Let’s archive the third message. |
| 10:19 | From the right panel, select it. |
| 10:21 | Right-click for the context menu and select Archive. |
| 10:27 | The message is moved to the Archives folder, under the STUSERONE Gmail account. |
| 10:36 | It is no longer displayed in the Inbox. |
| 10:39 | And what if we want to view the actions that we did using Thunderbird? |
| 10:44 | This is simple too! The Activity Manager displays the list of actions carried out in Thunderbird. |
| 10:52 | From the Main menu, click Tools and Activity Manager. |
| 10:57 | The Activity Manager dialog-box appears. |
| 11:01 | You can now view the list to check all email activity! |
| 11:05 | Let’s close the Activity Manager dialog-box. |
| 11:09 | Let’s exit Thunderbird by clicking on the red cross in the left corner of the Thunderbird window. |
| 11:16 | In this tutorial, we learnt how to: |
| 11:20 | Add the Thunderbird shortcut to the launcher |
| 11:23 | Tag Messages, Quick Filter, Sort and Thread Messages. |
| 11:28 | We also learnt to: |
