   • Click on Applications then on Add/Remove.. from the menu list that appeared.
   • Select All available applications from the drop down box top right.
   • Click in the search box at the top of the newly opened window. Type Thunderbird into it.
   • Click on the check box that is in-front of the Mozilla Thunderbird Mail/News title in the upper right section.
   • Click on Apply Changes Lower right.
   • Click on Apply in the newly opened window. The Application is now being installed.
   For testing purposes.
   • 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)
   • Delete a mail.

   Follow these steps on an installed system.
