Thunderbird from Mozilla is useful for handling emails. Email
clients like Thunderbird enables you to directly handle emails from your
desktop without accessing your browser. So, for people with very less knowledge
about hosting softwares like cPanel, Mailchimp, etc.; Thunderbird is a very
good option. Mozilla released several versions of Thunderbird software. In this
article, I will tell you how you can send an email from your Thunderbird
software.
Getting emails is easy with this software. I have already
mentioned how to setup Thunderbird and how you can link an account, in this article. Writing a mail from this account means you are writing from your
hosted email account. This becomes especially important when you are writing from
your company end or brand.
Using online hosted solutions are not that easy. You need to
be a professional in order to setup the account properly first. Port address,
channels and server details are some of the common terms that would come your
way. Thunderbird solves this instantly. You just need to give simple details
like username, password, etc. The rest is automatically determined.
I personally use this software for my brand mailing. Writing
a mail is very easy. You will find an option bar just below the menu bar. The
first option is “get mail” and the next is “write”. This “write” option is for
composing new mail. Click on it and a window will appear.
Here, you would clearly be able
to see all options related to composing a new mail. You have the “to” option, “cc”
and “bcc”. Then there is the “subject” option and finally the body. In case you
want to attach a file to your mail, there is an option for it too. In the
compose window, just below the menu bar there are few options. The first is the
“send” and the third option is the “attach”. Click on this to select your
attachment file.
All
above mentioned options are according to a certain version of the software. Do
not panic of they are not in their mentioned places. It might happen that they
are present at different option spaces in different versions of the software.
