Deleting email folders on my hotmail/outlook also deleted them on coresponding thunderbird account and I can't recover them.

My thunderbird synchronization and storage settings set to save messages to my computer, but after deleting messages and folders in my actual hotmail account, the same messages and folders were deleted from the corresponding thunderbird account. I lost thousands of messages. Can they be recovered? both emails and folders were deleted and I could not undo the actions in hotmail.

Move messages that you want to keep to the Local Folders "account" in Thunderbird.
The synch settings are to do with local cache copies to make working in Thunderbird faster, so it doesn't have to download a message each time you view it. Synch isn't intended to provide permanent storage. The whole premise of IMAP is that messages are stored on the server and not on clients.
So if you detach messages from the IMAP server by moving them to Local Folders, they are yours and of no further concern to the server.

I think I have deleted my printer drivers and I can't recover them

Hello,
I use an HP PSC1600 printer/scanner. Recently I had to reinstall my OS, and today I tried to scan for the first time since doing so. The scanner didn't work, and unfortunately I went on the wrong route to try to fix it. Instead of the usual 'keep on trying till it works', I tried reinstalling the software from the HP disks that came with the printer. After setup had repeatedly failed, I found some online help on the HP website that advised uninstalling all HP software and emptying trash. I did so, and in the process I also had to go into Activity Monitor and quit some HP processes that were running, and restart.
Having done all this, I tried again to reinstall the software from the disk. After that didn't work again, I took a closer look at HP support and found that the software is not supported by Snow Leopard, but that the drivers that come bundled and through Software Update do. Unfortunately Software Update doesn't find any new software, and now printing has also stopped working for me as well as scanning. I would be grateful for any advice as to how I can get things back to the status quo ante.
Thanks in advance

I would be very interested in knowing how you did that. I did the same thing. and I'm getting the "You may not be able to print to “HP Photosmart D7500 series.” Please reinstall the printer’s software."
What I don't know how to do, is how to install the HP drivers again.
If there is a way to do this in Apple Software Update, I'm interested in hearing it?

Set up ios tw days ago on my iphone5 and it merged my two email accounts and I can't separate them. I'm sure there is a fix but I can't seem to come up with it. Appreciate the help.

Is there an any way to correct this. I tried separating the accounts but the icon will not activate

NO I have two email accounts and when I check the inbox it dumps both inbox messages together. One is primarily business and the other is primarily personal. There's an icon that says accounts on the inbox page. I thought I could hit that and I could separate them that way but its not active.

Can I sync email between iPad mini, iPad, and MacBook so that if I delete email using one device, it will also be deleted from the other two?

Can I sync email between iPad mini, iPad, and MacBook so that if I delete email using one device, it will also be deleted from the other two?

You have to set up the email account using IMAP instead of POP.
What type of email address is it? Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc?

How can I change the settings so when I delete an email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad.....very sick of deleting the same emails two times

How can I change the settings wit mail so that when I delete my Verizon email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad too.... Seems like I shouldn't have to delete my email in three places...iPhone ..iPad ...and desktop

Don't know which email host you are using, but if this is a POP account, you can't do it. If IMAP, then deleting one email should delete it on all other devices.

Deleted email from my iphone it does not delete from Outlook 2007

My friend has an iphone 3GS and when she deletes email from the phone it does not delete from her Outlook 2007 account. She has to manually delete it. Outlook2007 is setup to permanantely delete from the server. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Tell your friend to get an IMAP or Exchange mail account. From what you describe, your friend has a POP account, and that's the way POP accounts work.

To do that you need to be using an IMAP type email account rather than a POP type. Check with your email provider to see if they provide this service and, if so, switch to it on all your devices.

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff! as you've rightly mentioned, you're already using the latest version of firefox installed and you can always initiate a check for ''updates in firefox > help > about firefox''.
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.

My deleted emails on iPhone 4s are not being deleted from server

I'm facing a problem with my iPhone 4s when deleting emails. Unfortunately, they are not being deleted from the server. I tried setting the account in pop and imap with settings to delete from server and trash ticked. Still they keep on appearing in Outlook which is a double work to do. Please advise.

I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
Who is your email provider?
They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.

If I delete photos in "iPhoto" will those photos also delete in the application "Photos"

Hey guys! I was wondering if I delete photos in "iPhoto" will those photos also delete in the new application "Photos".
I transfered all my photos to "Photos" the second it came out, so I'd find it strange if I still needed "iPhoto"
Thanks a lot!

No, they will not be deleted from Photos. The two libraries are totally independent of each other.
YEs, you can now delete the iPhoto Library, but if you want yo do this to gain disk space, you won't see much of a difference. Reason being that both Libraries merely point to the same image files on your disk via hard links.
For now, I would suggest moving the iPhoto Library to an external disk "just in case."

Deleting email on iPhone 4, but doesn't delete on computer email-how to??

I just got an iPhone, so have lots of questions. Namely, when I delete emails on my phone, they are not deleted from my computer (MacBook). I don't know if this is a synching thing or what. So, I have to delete them twice, which seems silly.
I read something about an IMAP account, but not sure what that is or how to do it. Currently, I have a POP account through Verizon.
Help! anyone??

i just found an easy way,
check this youtube video...i just tried it and it worked

If I delete photos on my iPad will I also delete them from my mac book pro

If I delete photos on my iPad will that also delete them from my mac book pro. I want to create more storage on my iPad but don't want to loose the pictures permanently. They are also on my laptop. They are all in iPhoto plus they are in photos on my iPad

It depends on where you delete them from, where they are showing on your Mac, and what settings you have set up in iPhoto.
If you want to keep your photos, you should be importing them to your Mac or Computer:
PHOTO IMPORT IOS TO MAC/PC
If you delete photos from your device that are only showing in Photo Stream on your Mac, and you do not have Photo Stream set up to automatically import those photos to iPhoto, they will be deleted.
You can set up Photo Stream photos to automatically import by opening iPhoto and clicking on Preferences>Photo Stream, and turning Automatic Import on. This will import your Photo Stream photos. However, if you also have photos saved on your device that are not in the Photo Stream, then the only way you can ensure that they are saved in iPhoto is by importing them.
Cheers,
GB

I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad

I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad

Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

Deleting email folders on my hotmail/outlook also deleted them on coresponding thunderbird account and I can't recover them.
