If you're running a recent version of Thunderbird, you might want to have a look at our articles covering Thunderbird 1.5.
Once in a while, you may need to attach a file to your email message. Part 4 will mainly revolve around editing attachments and what buttons you got on the hotbar in the address book. By now you should be able to navigate fairly well in the Thunderbird user interface, so I'm going to give a few more pointers in this part than the previous :)
The first thing you need to do is open a new message.
Having done that, you need to press the attachment button, right next to the attachment button is there also an arrow; you've got 2 choices, either attach a file or a web address. Click on the attachment button, and a window for browsing your folders will appear for your hard drive.
Locate the file you want to attach from your local directory, and press open. Your mail message has now a file attached. If you want to add more attachments to the same email simply repeat the process. If you want to attach a web page, simply choose "Attach web page" and fill in the URL.
This button will allow you to create a new card in your address book, a new card can be a contact person, business relations etc.
This button will open a window where you can create and/or edit an existing mailing list.
Let you edit the highlighted card in your address
Will open a new window for writing a message, to the person highlighted in the address book.
Chat function, this is not functional yet.
The delete button will delete the highlighted card from your address book.
Hope you have enjoyed this part as much as I enjoyed writing it :)
