To add a new mail account in Thunderbird, follow the steps:
When you open Thunderbird for the first time you need to create a mail account (your existing e-mail account).

|style="width: 50%;|Step 3-Configuring your Thunderbird mail client – step 2 providing the email account / id and password
|style="width: 50%;|Step 4-Configuring your Thunderbird mail client – step 3, setting up the incoming server settings.

|style="width: 50%;|Step 6-On opening Thunderbird, you will see the ‘mail folders’ on the left side. Selecting any folder will display the mails in the folder.
Click on Get messages (for receiving), and Write (for replying)
|style="width: 50%;|Step 7-Categorizing mails by storing in folders and sub folders. Right click on any folder to create a ‘sub-folder’ to that folder.
|style="width: 50%;|Step 8-Tagging mails for setting reminders
|style="width: 50%;|Step 9-Storing a mail drafts folder if still not completed.
(A mail can be saved before sending in the ‘Drafts’ folder)
|style="width: 50%;|Step 10-Sending a mail to ‘Outbox’ folder, when off-line, to send later when connected to Internet (A mail once ready to be sent, can be saved in the ‘Outbox’ folder by typing CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER at same time, this will save the message in the Outbox folder. This is useful to do, if you do not have connectivity at that time. Later, when you get connected to the Internet, you can right click on the Outbox folder to ‘send unsent messages’.
|style="width: 50%;|Step 11-You can create a ‘mail filter’ by clicking on Tools → Message Filters – New. You can move any mail satisfying your condition (a particular sender email id) to a specified folder etc. This feature can be used to move ‘group’ or mailing list emails to a separate folder, without flooding your inbox
Filters can be setup by person, by subject line, by list
Filters are executed in the order displayed. In case of multiple filters, you can set priority for running the filters.
|style="width: 50%;|Step 12-One of the powerful uses of a mail client is to be able to search for any mail (or set of mails) by providing parameters. For instance, if you want a resource shared by a particular teacher few months ago, you can search for mails in the relevant folder, by giving the sender id and specifying that the mail had attachments. The retrieved results will be shown in a window and mails in this list can be opened. The parameters for search include -
Sender id, Receiver id, With / without attachments, Size of file, Age of mail etc
You can also have combinations of parameters using both “AND” and “OR” claus.
