Can I import filters from one mailbox (within Thunderbird) to another? How?

Have set up a new mailbox for [email protected], and want to apply the same filters as I already have in the mailbox for [email protected] Is this possible? How? Thanks!

The file that stores your filter settings is called "msgFilterRules.dat". Each account will have its own "msgFilterRules.dat" file, stored in the "Local Directory" for the account in your profile. The Local Directory is specified at the bottom of Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings, right by the Browse button. The filters for Local Folders are stored in the Mail\Local Folders directory in the profile.
If you want to duplicate an accounts filters in another account you don't need to create them again. Exit Thunderbird and copy the "msgFilterRules.dat" file instead. If the account is in another profile and it uses custom headers you will also need to copy the mailnews.customHeaders setting from prefs.js.

    You cannot. iTunes purchases remain on the iTunes account they were purchased with.

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

    How can I transfer albums from one of my accounts to another?  My new account (Apple ID) email address is no longer available to me since I lost my job.

    OK, now I have another problem.  I typed in my email address wrong.  Instead of optonline.net I typed in optimum.net.  Though I can google my email address and it defaults to the optonline.net the email to confirm the change is not showing up.  I know, real stupid.  Now I cannot log onto either address as the original is not changed and the email has not showed so am I done here?  I appreciate your help!!!  Carl

  • Can't get LR3 to import photos from one external hard drive to another?

    I'm wanting to move thousands of raw photos from a folder in one external hard drive to another folder in a different external hard drive so all my photos are in one photo folder instead of two.  I've gone through the importing routine inside of lightroom to move the folder over to the new hard drive.  However, the photos don't move because they still show up on the old hard drive and not the new one.  What's weird is when I try to import it again, the grid view shows all the photos I'm wanting to import and when I move my cursor over any of the photos they are faded out and it says the photos are already imported.  However, if this is true why aren't they showing up in the new folder on my new external hard drive?  I know the new external hard drive works fine because I've successfully been putting all my newer photos there since I started using LR about one year ago.  The one's I'm trying to move over are older photos I shot try to using LR.
    I'm stumped and need some help.  Thanks in advance.

    You wrote
    "Are you saying while I'm in LR just grab the folder I want to move and drop it into the new hard drive"
    Yes, that's the way to move photos & folders from within LR.
    LR will then update its catalog with the new location and everything should be fine.
    Importing is not a good way for moving photos / folders. Since the photos are already in the catalog you had to uncheck <Don't import suspected duplicates> or all the photos will be greyed-out in the import dialog. If you did that LR would import the photos from drive A and put it on drive B. But they would still be on drive A, so you'd have the photos on both drives and would have to delete them on drive A.
    But more important: By default LR saves all edits in the catalog, they are not saved with the images themselves. That means by doing an import instead of a drag-and-drop move you'd lose your edits.
    You can save your edits to xmp, a side-car file that is stored together with the image file, and the xmps would be imported. But LR does not store everything as xmp. For instance Virtual Copies, Collections, Stacking are saved only in the catalog, so by doing an import you'd lose these things.
    Unless you know LR very well, it's best to use the Import Feature only for images that are NOT yet in LR.
    And another thing: Before doing major operations like moving big amounts of photos, it's best to backup your catalog first.

  • Can I import library from one account to another account?

    I have a work account and a personal account and I'd love access to my photos, music, etc, in my personal library. Can I import or sync the libraries? Thanks, Steve

    let's try this again...
    account = library...
    I have 2 libraries, one under username "A" (personal) and one under username "B" (work).
    it doesn't matter if they're work or personal, they were just names to refer to different accounts.
    I have a library...the library is on a PC. I synced with an iPad. I'm syncing with a new PC ("B" or "work") and would like the import the library from the first PC but created with a different Apple account/ID ("personal" or "work").
    I hope this helps explain my question.

  • How can i leave audio from one clip playing, while showing another one in i

    i am editing a movie, using iMovie 08, and want to use sound for a clip in the video for the end credits. how can i do this?
    just to be clear, i am not trying to add audio. i am trying to leave the audio from ONE CLIP playing, while viewing a new frame. thanks.

    This is simple in iMovie 11 (drag and drop), but in iMovie 08, you can still do it.

  • Is there any way i can receive a text from one number and reply to another on the same conversation?

    I have a friend who has 2 phone numbers, he sends texts from one and i have to reply to the other one.
    Is there any way i can configure the SMS conversation so: it receives texts from his 1st number and when i reply it goes to the 2nd number?
    Thank you

    I don't think it is possible to do what your friend is asking.
    He would need to call his phone carrier.

  • Can I migrate rules from one account in Mail to another?

    In mail I have 90 rules, many multi line criteria. I have just created a new  imap account linked to fastmail. My rules wont run because they seem to be linked to my first account, not imap. I tried just duplicating them and re-mapping to the new "move to" folder. Wouldn't run. Added a new criteria for the account but then all mail will go to that folder since 90 rules include that account in the rule. This would work if there was 2 levels of logic in the IF command but alas its only IF ANY/ALL.
    I really don't want to re-write all my rules as some have maybe 10 lines of criteria in them. Any suggestions?

  • How can I import addresses from one of my address book accounts into webmail at my internet service so that another individual who uses Firefox as their browser can send out emails using those addresses?

    I was able to export addresses to webmail @ sonic.net (csv format via previous gmail user) and read them fine using my normal browser, Safari. However, when trying to use the imported addresses via Firefox, the addresses had a symbol inbetween each letter of the email address and thus could not be used.

    Sorry I put this in the wrong forum. I shall post again to Leopard/mail etc.
