- Click on Apply Changes Lower right.
- Click on Apply in the newly opened window. The Application is now being installed.
- Open Thunderbird from the Applications/Internet section.
- Fill in the details of your email account (this is normally provided by your email provider)
- Send a test mail to a colleague and ask for a reply to ensure that send and receive are both working.
- If you have an GPG/PGP Key add Enigimail from Applications/Add/Remove.. Now restart Thunderbird and try sending a signed email.
- Save a draft mail (this is more important if your using a laptop and have no connection, that way you can send it latter when you do)
