| 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 short cut to the launcher |
| 00:10 | Tag Messages

| 00:17 | We will also learn to: |
| 00:18 | Save As and Print Messages |
| 00:21 | Attach a File |
| 00:22 | 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 short cut icon for it. |
| 00:43 | Let’s drag and drop the Thunderbird short cut 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 | 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. |
