Can I delete an e-mail account and reinstall it without losing all my old messages, folders, address lists etc?

I can no longer send from email from my account and keep getting the message that the connection to the smtp server was lost or the settings are wrong.
I would like to reinstall the account to make sure that the servers settings are correct, but I fear that I might lose years of messages that I have saved in my folder system as well as my address books, hence the question.
Alternatively, does anyone know how to reset the server settings so that Thunderbird will work with Rogers Yahoo mail?
Thanks for any help you might provide.

Two ways you can do it
If your not Removing the Thunderbird try this '''First Method'''
*Copy the entire mail and address to local folder and local address

**Try this Addon for local copy - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/copy-folder/
'''Second Method'''
*Profile Backup

  • I'm not receiving e-mail on my "New" iPad, and I want tdeleted my yahoo mail account and reinstall it.  When I go to settings to delete the account, it says I will lose everything in notes, calendars, reminders, etc.  Can I delete ONLY the e-mail account?

    I'm not receiving e-mail on my iPad (3).  I want to try deleting my yahoo mail account and reinstalling it, but when I go to settings to do this, it appears that I will lose my notes, calendars, reminders, etc.  Is this right, or is there another way to do this?

    Give it time. Yahoo has had persistent issues the past few weeks. wait 24 hours or so and then try again.

  • How can I delete an E-Mail account in Nokia 6300

    I have setup an E-Mail account (e.g Gmail) on my Nokia 6300. I would like to delete this account which is no longer needed. I couldn’t find any delete option there. Before Nokia 6300, I have used Nokia E-50. It has a very simple option in Connect folder to delete or manage these E-mail accounts. Waiting for you response.

    Simply enter the configurations menu from settings, go to personal config and the account should be listed there, select options and delete.
    Simple! :-)

    I recently upgraded my Itunes softeware, now itunes will not recognize my IPod Classic. If I delete the current IPod software and reinstall it, would this solve the problem, and if so, I'll need step by step instruction.

    It appears that SANmp is indeed the most likely source of your problem.

  • When i go to sycn my ipod, it says that it cannot sync due to a missing file. Is there a way to remove itunes from my computer and redownload it without losing all of my stuff?

    Can I remove Itunes from my computer totallty abnd reinstall it without losing my media?

    Do a backup of your iTunes library files first to a external hardisk. (ie all your music files)
    Go to this Apple download for iTunes 9.2.1,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
    You just need to download and re-install.
    If your iTunes is earlier than 9 series, the library folder location need to be changed.
    or let me know your iTunes version and I sent you the website
    I wouldn't recommend the Latest iTunes 10.5.2, if you are not using iPod Classic 160GB late 2009 version.

    Just call your internet supplier and ask for the correct settings for the email

  • How can I Delete a MobileMe Email Account and Kill Duplicate Messages?

    When I select "All Inboxes" on my iPhone 4s, I see duplicates of each and every message I receive. Furthermore, the duplicate can't be deleted and I get an error message informing so! I suspect this phenomenon is occurring because I have both an iCloud and a MobileMe account. I want to cancel the MobileMe one.
    Here's the deal:
    My iPhone 4s lists three email accounts, including a "MobileMe" one that I want to delete because I believe it is delivering duplicate messages. However, I can't seem to figure out how to delete the MobileMe's email account or, for that matter, MobileMe itself. Apple support screens refer to cancelling a MobileMe account but are not clear on how to actually do it.
    1. On the iPhone 4s, I click on the "Mail" icon at the bottom of the screen
    2. On a screen under the heading "Mailboxes," under "Inboxes," there are two that read exactly the same (I think one is iCloud and the other MobileMe).
    3. On the same screen, under "Accounts," I see an iCloud account logo, a Bellsouth/Yahoo account logo and a MobileMe account logo.
    4. I want to keep the iCloud and Bellsouth/Yahoo accounts but delete the MobileMe one but I can find no way on this screen or any other iPhone 4s screen to do so. Nor do I see any path to do so in iTunes. And the MobileMe account doesn't even show up in the Apple email app on the laptop to which I sync my iPhone.
    If I go to www.me.com and log into my MobileMe account, there is no apparent way to disable, delete or otherwise cancel it. Why?
    I am convinced that the simultaneous presence of both iCloud and MobileMe accounts is responsible for the double email messages when I select to view "All inboxes" on my iPhone. (A workaround is to simply select just one of the accounts, say, the iCloud one. Then I see only one copy of each message. That's OK but surely there is some way to kill off this redundant MobileMe account AND the duplicate messages, yes???

    First, thanks for the reply. And, I believe you are exactly right that the names are the same. However, when I go (on my iPhone) as you suggest to "Settings," "Mail, Contacts, Calendars," only two accounts are showing; my Mac account and my Bellsouth one. If I select either, I get an option to delete but the duplicate "MobileMe" account does not appear. It only shows up, as described above, if I:
    1. On the iPhone 4s, I click on the "Mail" icon at the bottom of the screen
    2. On a screen under the heading "Mailboxes," under "Inboxes," there are two that read exactly the same (I think one is iCloud and the other MobileMe).
    3. On the same screen, under "Accounts," I see an iCloud account logo, a Bellsouth/Yahoo account logo and a MobileMe account logo.
    It's nutso, I admit, but true. Any other suggestions would be most welcome.

  • How can I delete an e-mail account in Thunderbird?

    I have somehow acquired an e-mail account that only appears to show itself in Thunderbird and a screen continues to request a password. That account does not appear in my "Profiles and Settings", but I wish to delete it. The address is "my name" followed by: @mail.talktalk.net

    Simply enter the configurations menu from settings, go to personal config and the account should be listed there, select options and delete.

  • Can i delete my itunes store account and create a new one?

    i have an itunes account open already but its old and full of old downloads and songs which are not relevant to me anymore. id like to delete my account and open a new one, is this possible? if not, how could i make a new account with the same email as my old account?
    any help is much appreciated, thank you.

    Then just delete the music from your iTunes library that you no longer want.
    There is no reason to create a new iTunes account to purchase new music. This will not delete the old music in your iTunes library.

    I do not realy unerstand what you mean by yo can't delete/remoce iTunes. If iTunes in on your new installation just go to iTunes>Store and sign out of the existing account and then login/create a new account.

  • I have two iTunes account and want one without losing purchased apps

    I have two itune accounts, How do I close down one iTunes account and not lose purchased apps from the account closed.

    You can't close or delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it - but any content that you purchased or downloaded with it will remain tied to it, so you will need to remember its id and password for re-downloading and or re-authorising.
