INTRODUCTION

The invention of email changed the way everyone communicates. It is

one of the quickest ways to communicate across the world or just in
the cubicle next to you. It allows you to send rapid communication to
anyone with an email.

This training document will teach you how to download, install and use
Thunderbird, a free emailing software. Anyone and everyone will be
able to down load and use this freeware. Thunderbird was developed
and put in Place by Mozilla, the same people who developed FireFox.
