Can Thunderbird import emails and folders from AOL??

I still use AOL Desktop 9.6 on windows XP. I would like to use Thunderbird instead but will it import my 'Saved on PC' in several folders, 'Old' and 'Sent emails? I experimented on a Mac with Apple Mail.app and found that it automatically imported all the old and sent emails from a Comcast account that had only ever been used with the webmail. My AOL emails could be imported from my PC or AOL's servers. I would really like to get rid of the AOL desktop software as it often runs several instances of Aolsoftware.exe process and slows down the computer. Thanks.

AOl is an IMAP mail provider, so simply adding your account to Thunderbird will see your mail downloaded from all folders.

  • Cannot Import Email and Folders from Outlook for Mac 2011

    After downloading Lion, I could not import emails and folder structure from Outlook for Mac 2011.

    You're in luck, Imap and Exchange accounts store their data on the server.
    Leave Outlook alone, just add the accounts to Mail and let them synchronize, no import required. You can leave them in Outlook or remove them as you please once everything in Mail is done.

    sir; i can't import song and videos from pc to my iphone pls help me

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - if you would like help then you will need to provide more information than 'can't import' e.g. how are trying to sync content and what happens when you do it ?
    You have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, and your phone appears in it when it's connected to your computer ? If not then see if this troubleshooting page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    You should be able to sync music and films/TV programmes by selecting your phone on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC) and then using the tabs on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync your content
    Is that how you are trying to do it and it's not working ?
    If you haven't synced your phone to that computer before then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How can I import video and sound from my sony camcorder?

    I have just bought the mac.  I'm struggling to import video AND sound from my Sony DCR-SR87 hard disk handycam camcorder.  From what I've read already, I ended up purchasing and downloading Quicktime MPEG2, and used the Utility MPEG Component Lion from downloaded MPEG Streaming 1.9.3b6 to enable video and sound to play on the computer directly from the camcorder.  The problem is that when I import these clips using iphoto (it pops up when I connect the camcorder), the sound does not accompany the video onto the computer.  I've hit something of a brick wall and would really appreciate any help.

    OK, according to

  • How do I import email and contacts from windows 8 mail to thunderbird

    Hi there,
    I have Windows 8 and have been using the Windows 8 mail app. However, it is very basic so I am keen to switch to Thunderbird. However, I cannot find a way to import my mail, folders and contacts to Thunderbird from Windows 8 Mail.
    There seems to be no export option on Windows 8 Mail. Thunderbird has an Import option but this is not able to locate the Windows 8 mail files.
    There doesn't appear to be answer to this question in the forums. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The Win 8 Mail app is usually associated with a hotmail/live/outlook.com account, so to access it with TB, set it up as an IMAP account:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/998184#answer-566746
    To import the contacts, open the account from the web page, export the contacts as a csv file, and follow the instructions here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012084#answer-607601
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Hotmail
    Since hotmail/outlook accounts automatically copy sent messages to the Sent folder, uncheck "Place a copy in.." under Tools/Account Settings/<i>hotmailaccount</i>/Copies & Folders.

  • Import emails and contacts from a .pst file

    my computer crashed and I was using old microsoft outlook. I have a carbonite .pst file ready to import into Thunderbird but I cannot figure out how to do it because I do not have microsft outlook on this new computer. Only the carbonite file.

    It is not at all difficult to have mutiple mail accounts in Outlook (though you may only have a single Exchange account).  The OST file is only for offline sync of a mailbox ("Cached Exchange Mode") and should only exist on portable machines that need to access existing mail without having access to the Exchange server (eg, read and reply to mail on an airplane).
    As to why he has outside email synced to the computer, he's the CEO.  You wanna tell him no?  I would love to, but such a thing would get me fired.
    It does make sense that the sync of calendars and contacts doesn't affect mail, but it's not completely correct.  The default data file chosen for mail delivery is the data file iTunes chooses to sync contacts with; thus, it absolutely does affect mail delivery.
    Please stop referring to the OST file as a mail destination - it is not, and cannot be.  The default mail delivery destination is currently the PST file, which allows him to sync his contacts and calendars from that same PST file but removes mail from the Exchange server and deposits it in the PST.  If I change the default delivery location back to his Exchange mailbox, his mail goes to the correct place, but he loses access to the PST's contacts and calendar from his phone.

  • How can I import video and photos from iphoto to imovie?

    Hi, I am having trouble importing media from iphoto into imove (imovie 10.5)
    I am using a macbook pro 13 inch, early 2013 running mavericks.
    I have created an event in imovies into which I would like to import both photos and videos from my iphoto library. However, when the import window opens, the list of options from where I can import has iphoto, but it is not clickable; I can not open it.
    I have successfully imported from iphoto in the recent past on the same computer, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time.
    Thanks for any suggestions

  • How can I import CDs and mp3s from my externals device to Itunes?

    Hello,
    I have got a real problem with ITunes. It does not import any data neither from CDs nor externals drives (mp3-drive). It is nearly impossible to do so because I haven't got the access rights. Thank you for your help.
    Mathias

    If you use iPhoto you can put your iPhoto Library on an external disk.
    If you don't, use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) to get the material from your camera or phone to wherever you want to put it.
    To move an iPhoto Library
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • So.  Is it true you can't import ratings and adjustments from XMPs?

    Is this for real?
    I have waited 5 years for Aperture to allow the importing of XMPs, and I finally got it. Yea!
    But now I am learning you can't import the data from any adjustments or ratings?
    true?
    Why?
    Am I having a nightmare?

    Likely so.
    Even easier would be for them to export the entire project and deliver this to you. I do this all the time, and it works great. File->Export Project, and you get a nice, atomic thing that you can import to your library and get everything in one swoop.
    This does of course rely on them using Aperture, and they need to be on the same version you are (i.e. if you're on 3, they need to be on 3 as well).

  • How can I import diagramms and tables from numbers to pages?

    I'm writing an essay, where I need diagramms and tables in it. I created some cool stuff in numbers and wanted to transfer it to pages. I thought it would be easier, but I don't have a clue how to just import the numbers stuff to my essay in pages. So I tried to copy it, but it looks not that way it looked in numbers. Another problem is: I can't layout the diagramms and tables the way I want (centered) and I need to write a description under it. I tried it with Textbox, but then I just can't group the textbox with the Table.
    Somebody with an idea?
    Thanks for your help!

    To get your data from Numbers into Pages is just a simple matter of copying and pasting. Select the cells you want to place in Pages, copy, and then past into Pages. There are a couple caveats. 1) the table you paste into Pages will be pasted inline. You'll probably want to use the wrap Inspector and change it to floating. 2) if the table is too wide you'll have to get creative about how you arrange the data and 3) Numbers lets you insert check boxes, sliders, steppers, and popup menus and these won't show but the data in the cells will.
    The charts will also copy and paste - again, you'll probably want to use the wrap inspector to switch them to floating objects. Having made the chart object(s) floating objects, you should have no trouble inserting your text box description, arranging them the way you want, and then grouping.
    Just to make sure it worked the way I remembered, I just threw together a quick table and chart in Numbers and then copy/pasted it all into Pages.

  • How can I import keywords and albums from iphoto 5?

    I have new imac with iPhoto 7.1. I'd like to import the keywords and albums along with the pics from my old imac and iphoto 5. Photos import, but not tags or albums. Any suggestions?

    Roy
    The trick is not to import, but to update.
    Copy the library from the old mac to the new one, then hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Select 'Choose Library' and point iPhoto at this old one and it will update it to a v7 library, including albums and keywords.
    If you already have a new library on your new machine, then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge them or to move the pics from the older to the newer.

  • Can I import Events and Projects from previous versions of iMovie

    I just installed the latest version of iMovie - but I have a bunch of projects, events, etc. from previous version - going way back.  Is there a way to move those items into the new version.

    Yes.  File - Update Projects and Events.  Your iMovie 9 folders will still be available.  (I would not delete any iMovie 9 stuff untill you are happy with iMovie 10 - its quite different.)
