Logging into Thunderbird

When you open Thunderbird for the first time, you will be asked for your email password. If you want Thunderbird to remember your password, check the box that says Use Password Manager to remember this password and click OK.

New Features of the Inbox

When you open Thunderbird, you should be brought to your Inbox. If you are not, click the Inbox folder on the left. You will notice a number of new features on the Thunderbird main window, including: New Toolbar Features Some of the toolbar icons that you are used to using have new names/features, including:

  • Get Mail – used to retrieve new message from the server
  • Write – used to compose a new email message
  • Address Book – used to access your Personal Address Book & Oakton directories
  • Junk – used to mark/unmark messages as Junk – see “Junk Mail Controls” below
  • Print – used to either Print or Print Preview – click on the down arrow to Preview New View and Search Features Under the toolbar, you will notice a new bar with two options, as shown below:
  • View – Allows you to view All of your messages or just some of them, depending on the criteria. You can read All message, Unread messages, mail that Has Attachments , etc. One section of this list works with message labels ( Important, Work, Personal, To Do, etc. ). More on this later…
  • Subject or Sender – Allows you to search your messages by Subject, Sender , or both. Click the down arrow next to Subject or Sender to search for a keyword in the Entire Message or select Find in Message to search inside of your messages for a keyword. You can perform all of these searches within your Inbox or within any folder in your email account by simply selecting that folder. To search all of your email folders at once, highlight the name of your email account above your Inbox folder before performing the search. For more sophisticated searches, the “Search Messages” option is still available. Go to the menu and choose Edit  Find…  Search Messages New Message Column Features When you are looking at the list of messages, either in your Inbox or in any other folder in your email account, Thunderbird shows you columns of information about each message, such as Subject, Sender, Date, Threading, and Read Status. You can sort your messages by any of these headings simply by clicking on the column header once for A-Z order and again for Z-A order.

Remote Image Blocking Just like clicking on email attachments, it is now possible to contract a computer virus from viewing a picture within an email message. To prevent against this, Thunderbird will block pictures from remote senders, meaning from people that are not in your personal address book or who do not have an @oakton.edu email address. While it is nice to have this type of protection, sometimes it hinders you from reading an important email message. Anytime Thunderbird blocks remote images, you will receive a message in the header of the email saying “ To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote images .” You will see a box in the top right-hand section of the message saying Show Images. If you click on that, the message will appear in its intended form. Do this only if you absolutely need to see the images! To disable Remote Image Blocking:

  • Click Tools and select Options.
  • Click the Advanced button on the left.
  • On the top right, uncheck Block loading of remote images in mail messages (not recommended).
  • Click OK.

New Message Composition & Addressing Features

Composing and addressing messages has changed a bit in Thunderbird. To compose a new message, click the Write icon on the toolbar. New Compose Toolbar Features You will notice that when you click Write to compose a new message, the Compose toolbar has not changed much. However, there are some new icons that you can add to this toolbar. To Customize the Compose toolbar, right-click the toolbar area and select Customize. If you see icons on the Customize Toolbar window that you want to add to your Compose toolbar (e.g., Cut, Copy, Paste or Quote ), simply drag these icons up into the toolbar area and click OK when done. New Addressing Features Your email program should be programmed to search your Personal Address Book(s) and the Oakton Employee Directory whenever you begin typing a name or email address on the To: (or Cc:/Bcc:) line. When you are composing an email and typing an email address of someone on campus , there is no need to type the entire first and last name. You can simply type part of the person’s first name, then part of the last name. If they are in the Oakton Employee Directory, the name, or a list of similar names, should appear. Thunderbird is not like Netscape Messenger in that, when typing a common name, you will no longer see Multiple Matches Found. Instead, the name that matches your entry most will appear at the top of a list of other common names.

  • If the name at the top is correct, hit Enter to select it.
  • If the name at the top is not correct, use your mouse or the down arrow on your keyboard to scroll down to select the correct name. If using the keyboard, highlight the correct name and hit Enter. If using the mouse, you may need to hit the down arrow to scroll down the list if it is more than 4 or 5 names long. If the person you are addressing does not appear on the list, you may need to click on Contacts button to search for them further in the Address Book (more on this below…) New Message Formatting Features Once you have addressed your message and typed a Subject line, click in the message body to type the message. You will see a few new features on the message formatting toolbar, including:
  • Text Color/Background Color Buttons – Next to the font type box (Variable Width means Times New Roman), you will see two boxes, one black and one white. Click the black box to change the font color and the white box to change the background color of the email message.
  • Text Size Buttons – Next to the text color buttons, you will see two icons that look like a small “A” and a large “A”. These decrease and increase the font size of selected text. New Table Features If you ever used tables in emails before, they have changed quite a bit in Thunderbird. Tables are great for lining up columns of data. If you type columns of information using the tab key or space bar to line the data up, you know that the final result is not always what you intended. If you use tables, the data you type always stays in line. Inserting tables in Thunderbird is the same as before, but editing them is different.
  • To Insert a Table – Click Insert from the menubar and select Table. Specify the number of Rows and Columns you want, the Width of the table, and the Border size (with 0 being none). Click OK.
  • To Insert a Row/Column – Once your table is inserted, you can insert a new row or column using the buttons at the top or left of a cell. You can also insert rows/columns from the Format , Table menu.
  • To Delete a Row/Column – To delete a row/column, click the button between the arrows on the top or left of a cell. You can also delete rows/columns from the Format , Table menu.
  • To Edit Cell/Table Properties – To change the Height, Width, Alignment or Background Color of a table, double-click anywhere inside the table to get into the properties box. You can also select multiple cells and change their properties by selecting Format from the menubar and using Table or Table Cell Properties.
  • To Edit Cell/Table Properties – To merge cells, select the cells to be merged, then click Format , Table, Join Selected Cells. To split a cell into two, click inside the cell to be split and select Format, Table, Split Cell.

Sending Links to Files on Network Drives instead of Attaching In Netscape, if you inserted a link to a file on a shared drive such as S:, you could send just the file:// link and not include the file in the message. This is especially useful when you want people to always see the most recent revision or when you simply do not want to fill up everyone’s inbox with a large attachment. Unfortunately, this feature is much more difficult to use in Thunderbird. By default, Thunderbird will always attach files, even if you try to link to them. To use file:// links in Thunderbird, you must use the following steps:

  1. Open Compose Window.
  2. Type in your recipients and message
  3. Type the text for the file:// link, for example, the name of the file.
  4. Choose Insert , then Link.. from the menu
  5. In the Link Properties dialog, click on Choose File… and browse and select the file. Note that you may need to select All Files from the “Files of Type” pull down menu if the linked file in not in HTML format
  6. After Selecting the file, click on the Advanced Edit… button.
  7. In the Attribute field type moz-do-not-send (Note that this must be typed exactly as shown in lowercase. )
  8. In the Value field, type in true (exactly as shown) 9 The result should look like this:
  9. Press OK and finish the message.

New Address Book Features

As noted above, the Address Book is now more easily accessible, with an Address Book icon right on the main Thunderbird toolbar. You can also get to the Address Book when composing an email message by clicking the Contacts button.

Note: The Contacts button on the Thunderbird composition toolbar should only be used to look an address up. If you want to edit your Personal Address book, click on the Address Book button on the toolbar in the main Thunderbird window or click Tools, Address Book. Searching for an Address from Within Contacts Window When typing an email message to someone, you may experience problems locating the person’s email address. In that case, you may need to click the Contacts button, which opens up the Address Book Task Pane on the left. To search for someone in the Address Book:

  • Click the Contacts button on the Compose toolbar. The Address Book Task Pane appears.
  • Select the Address Book or Directory you want to search in. You can select from the following: o Personal Address Book – Your personal addresses o Oakton College Directory– All Oakton employees and students o Oakton Student Directory – All Oakton students o Oakton Employee Directory – All Oakton faculty and staff (employees) o Collected Addresses – Addresses collected from your outgoing messages
  • In the Search For box, type either the entire first name or the entire last name of the person you are searching for, or type both. If the last name is common, you will need to type the first and last name. If the last name is uncommon, there’s no need for a first name. Unlike the composition window, you will need to type the entire first name, followed by part or all of the last name. Partial first names will not yield any results. Note: If you are unsure of the spelling of someone’s first or last name, or if the person’s email name uses a middle initial in it, you should use the asterisk wildcard () to refine your search. For instance, to search for Tracy Johnson, type _Trac Johnson_ , which will search for Tracie, Tracy, and either name followed by a middle initial and the last name Johnson.
  • Properties - If you want to see more information about the person who appears in the Search box, right-click the person’s name and select Properties. Be sure to look on the Contact and Address tabs of the properties box to find what you are looking for (phone #, address…).
  • Once you locate the name you want, you can do one of three things to add the name to the address list for your email: o Double-click the name, which will add them to the To: line. o Click the name once, then click either Add to To: or Add to Cc: o Right-click the name and select Add to To field, Add to Cc field or Add to Bcc field.
  • When you are finished with the Contacts list, click the X to close the task pane. Searching for an Address from Within the Address Book Searching for an address from within the Address Book is very similar to doing it from the Contacts task pane. To search for an address in the Address Book:
  • Click Tools, Address Book. The Address Book window opens.
  • Select the Select the Address Book or Directory you want to search in.

( select "Import/Export..." from the File Menu, click next, choose "Import favorites" and pick the H:\Netscape\bookmark.htm file.) Web Page Creation Netscape Composer (the web page creation tool) is not in Firefox or Thunderbird, Please use Dreamweaver or another tool to create web pages. Network News Accounts Not Converted If you did have any other accounts set up (like Network News servers) these will not be converted, please reconfigure these manually and ask for help if you need it. (This should only affect a very small number of people) Email Quota Increase All users with standard email quotas will have their server quota increased by 33% to accommodate saving sent mail on the server

Outstanding Issues

The following issues are still outstanding Possible Initial crash on launching Thunderbird This has happened for a small number of users when launching Thunderbird for the first time. If this happens, simply relaunch Thunderbird and the problem should never happen again. Please contact the help desk if it does Web Directory Button in the Addressbook may not function The "Web Directory" button in the LDAP address books does not work until the preference file gets large enough. It should link to the yearbook entry. New Message Popup Reports Incorrect Number of New Messages The popup message in the system tray indicating the number of new messages is not reporting correctly. It often reports more new messages than actually exist. This appears to be a Thunderbird bug and will hopefully be fixed in Thunderbird 2. Thunderbird Attaches Files instead of Sending Links to Files on Network Drives In Netscape, if you inserted a link to a file on a shared drive such as S:, you could send just the file:// link and not include the file in the message. In Thunderbird, it will always attach the document unless you follow the procedure outlined earlier in this document see the section: Sending Links to Files on Network Drives instead of Attaching This document is based on “Converting from Netscape Messenger to Mozilla Thunderbird” by Villanova University.
