Mail for firefox. Mozilla Thunderbird: Complete User Guide.

The structure of which includes a functional email client is a solution for business people in the corporate sector, then the Mozilla Thunderbird mailer is perhaps the most ideal way for convenient work with e-mail for regular users. For ordinary users, but actively using email in everyday life. Convenient, minimalist in terms of consumption of system resources, with automatic setup of email accounts, flexible and customizable - Mozilla Thunderbird will bring true comfort to work with multiple email accounts.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a functional mailer that supports IMAP and POP and HTML e-mail protocols, as well as RSS news feeds, newsgroups, and chats (personal correspondence) between IRC, Twitter, Facebook, Google Talk. As for the last functionality, it is, alas, not the most popular communication services for Runet, for example, popular social networks - VKontakte and Odnoklassniki - no. Nevertheless, the idea itself is good - to implement in the mailer also personal correspondence with social networks and various services for people to communicate.

Among the advantages of Mozilla Thunderbird - the efficiency of the program, security when working with e-mail, a simple interface with a clear and understandable organization. Mozilla Thunderbird, like the browser, is an absolutely free cross-platform software product. Mail client can be downloaded from its official website.

Add mail account

The first thing we see after launching Mozilla Thunderbird is a mailer window with options for adding email accounts and other components supported by the program. Click "Email" to add your mailbox to the software client.

If you are adding an email account to your desktop mailer for the first time, be sure to check whether IMAP and POP mail access is active in your email account settings.

And in the Mozilla Thunderbird mailer we will see a welcome window for setting up an email account. Moreover, if someone doesn’t have an email account yet or needs a multi-account, Mozilla Thunderbird here offers a quick account registration on mail services with which the program cooperates - on gandi.net and on hover.com. These are English-language mail services, and far from being the most popular on the Internet, therefore, of course, we will refuse the offer of Mozilla Thunderbird. In our case, however, surely, like most of the others, there is a mailbox, so feel free to click "Skip this and use my existing mail."

Mozilla Thunderbird will automatically select optimal settings   connections that are available in the program database for most popular mail servers. And in the next window, what remains to be done is to choose a protocol - IMAP or POP. The first protocol, IMAP, allows you to work with e-mail without downloading it to the local space of a computer device. This is a more popular type of interaction between mail servers and client E-Mail applications, in which a user can access mail data from both the mailer and the mail service site anywhere in the world where there is Internet. POP protocol completely removes all mail from the mail server and transfers it locally to a computer. It can be used in rare cases when it is undesirable to leave mail on the server, while in some secluded place on the computer or on a removable medium, emails must be stored.

Choose a protocol (in most cases it will be, of course, IMAP) and click “Finish”.

If the mailbox data was entered correctly, we will see how Mozilla Thunderbird is promptly updated with incoming email messages. After a couple of minutes all the letters from the server will be downloaded, and they will be displayed in the mailer window.

Interface

Do not be afraid of the poor, ascetic mailer interface, using add-ons (extensions), like Mozilla Firefox browser, Mozilla Thunderbird can also be “dressed” in a beautiful cover from among the additions in the store. Click the mailer menu and select "Add-ons".

In the first tab "Get add-ons" select "Favorite topics" and click the link "Show all".

Then select the one you like in the catalog of submitted covers and click the “Add” button to apply it.

And to change the appearance of the mailer dramatically, you can apply so-called full themes to it, which completely transform the program's interface into a different style - with a different background color, with different fonts, with different icons. To get to their directory, in the tab “Get add-ons” select “Other ways of settings” and click the link “Show all full topics”.

We fall into the catalog of complete topics and choose the one that interests.

So, lovers of dark tones can give Mozilla Thunderbird a techno-style in black.

Fans of positive colors can pick out nice themes in warm colors.

In order not to be distracted by the colors of the program interface, you can choose neutral themes with readable fonts.

Sorting

Mozilla Thunderbird is an ideal mailer for those who like to collect various trash in their box for years. Displaying a table of letters can be arranged by subject, sender, date of receipt. In addition, the mailer is equipped with an internal search and filters, with the help of which letters can be displayed only unread, only with labels, only with attachments, etc.

Anti-spam and protection

As you can see, the Mozilla Thunderbird functionality is comfortable to work with incoming mail abound. And what about outgoing mail?

Sending letters

To send an email, click on the large noticeable button at the top "Create". An additional window for creating and sending messages will appear. Here, from the drop-down list, we can select one or another email account from which the letter will be sent.

Mozilla Thunderbird is equipped with an internal spell checker - this is definitely a huge plus for the program. As for the formatting capabilities of the sent text, the Mozilla brainchild, of course, is far from the full-featured Word text editor built into Microsoft Outlook 2013, however, there are basic possibilities for formatting text.

Export and import settings

It’s a pity that Mozilla Thunderbird is not equipped with cloud-based data synchronization, as is the case with most browsers. And, alas, the full feature import / export settings in the mailer is also not. There is only the ability to import settings from other email clients.

But it's not a problem. Transferring Mozilla Thunderbird settings can be done manually by copying customized files to a non-system disk or transferring them to the cloud storage. And then these files will need to be placed in the Mozilla Thunderbird settings folder after installing the program on a new reinstalled system or on a new device.

Before reinstalling the system or before using Mozilla Thunderbird on another computer device, go to the mailer settings directory:

As a rule, the AppData folder is hidden, and by default it is not displayed in Explorer. In order for it and its contents to be visible, it is necessary to set the display settings for hidden items in Windows Explorer.

The contents of the “Thunderbird” folder are the mailer settings files. Copy this folder with all its contents and place it on a non-system disk or send it to the cloud storage on the Internet.

But we install the Mozilla Thunderbird program on a new system or on a new computer, launch it and immediately close it without connecting email accounts. Do the same way as before - set the display of hidden elements of Windows Explorer and go to the mailer settings folder:

C: \\ Users \\ UserName \\ AppData \\ Roaming \\ Thunderbird

Open the “Thunderbird” folder with the old mailer settings in another explorer window and drag all its contents to the new “Thunderbird” folder. Files in the destination folder, of course, replace.

All - we launch a mailer, a couple of seconds, and it will come exactly in that condition in which Mozilla Thunderbird was at the time of copying of setup files.

Summing up ...

Opening a web interface of several e-mail accounts in the browser is not a rational use of computer resources, especially when it comes to weak netbooks or old PC builds. And especially, if a smart, but gluttonous in terms of consumption of RAM or its clone based on Chromium of the type or is selected as a web browser. Therefore, gathering all your mailboxes into a single unweighted mail client, like Mozilla Thunderbird, in order not to miss an important letter - a productive move. At the same time, no matter what email service the email is sent from, a functional Mozilla Thunderbird-type mailer will offer its own tools for its creation, and you will not need to delve into the features of the web interface of each individual account.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a popular, free email client. However, we note right away that this is not only a mail program, it will also be useful to install it for reading news. And if you add a Lightning plugin, you will have the opportunity to use the calendar.
