Help with Thunderbird

Question 2 of 3 this evening...
I had thunderbird on my old linux box before migrating to Arch. I was using Fedora 8 and I backed up all of my files and whatnot. Now, I moved things from Thunderbird-fedora into Thunderbird in arch (which I have used previously), e.g. the *.default directory housing all of my inbox mail and what not from one thunderbird install to another. However, when I have both .defaults in the .thunderbird directory, tbird boots the arch one, containing many less emails of import than that of my old thunderbird .default coming from fedora.
So my question is this: Is there any way to merge the two .default directories in thunderbird so that i can have both sets of emails in Thunderbird or am I SOL?
Thanks for the input,
Matt

You can copy the mbox files from one profile and drop them into the mail folder on the other profile (rename the files so they don't conflict...). There is a page on the mozilla site describing what the files all do and which ones to backup.
You should be able to select the profile you want by using "thunderbird -profilemanager" to start it.

Can I sync my 6300 calendar with Thunderbird/Light...

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've just bought a bluetooth dongle for my PC and only yesterday connected my 6300 to computer and updated software etc for the first time.
I'd love to be able to sync the calendar with Thunderbird/Lightning automatically as it connects. Is this possible?
And if so, is the sync two ways or just one way. I have heaps of entries in the calendars on my work computer. I'd love to be able to sync my phone while at work, then when I go home update my home computer's calendar from the phone's. If that makes sense.

A new problem is that Windows 7 does not use Windows Calendar so the simple solution from above that works for Vista doesn't work in Windows 7.
These are the steps I took. It’s likely that not all steps are required. Sorry about the messed up formatting.....
1.       Get Windows Calendar working on Windows 7.
This is very straightforward. Follow the link below. Run it once to generate the .ics file
(http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/install-windows-calendar-in-windows-7/)
2.       Tell Lightning to use Windows Calendar’s .ics file
In Thunderbird, go to calendar view, right click on calendar listed on the left hand side and select properties….change its default file to point to your Windows Calendar File (C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Calendar\Calendars\Your Calendar.ics)
3.       Uninstall software that may complicate things
If they are installed, uninstall Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Ovi Suite and Microsoft Outlook.
Make the following registry changes (messing with the registry can wreck your operating system. Don’t do it unless you know what you’re doing. I take no responsibility etc etc etc)
Thanks to “Classic” on this german forum (and Google Translate) for this bit
http://www.winfuture-forum.de/index.php?showtopic=174635
Open regedit.exe, navigate to Hkey Local Machine -> Software and add a new key called Windows Calendar. In that key add the following string values:
http://www.winfuture-forum.de/index.php?s=c1afe7229fa2613d26a1b82c604c879a&act=attach&type=post&id=3...
Reboot
Install PC Suite (compatibility mode may help, I tried it a few different ways but in the end I don’t think it matters)
6.       Tell PCSuite that its running on Vista
Go back into the registry
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Nokia.PCSync.Windows7PIM.ISynchAppU
Create an exact replica of this key (including its contents) but call it HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Nokia.PCSync.VISTAPIM.ISynchAppU
(It’s likely that you could just rename Windows7PIM to VISTAPIM but I created the replica key)
You should be good to go

Slowness with thunderbird, not responding

Very slow responding. Not responding pops-up on screen Often says not connected.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

Problem with Thunderbird email:
When I send email using a mailing list, with my email included in the list, the message shows up in my Sent list and others receive it but it does not come to my email Inbox. The same problem occurs when I send the email to the mailing list addresses individually. When I send a simple test message to myself, I do receive it in my Inbox. Can you help me??

Are you using either cc or bcc? Is googlemail involved? Some email providers suppress cc's and bcc's to oneself since you will have a copy in your Sent folder.

I desperately need help with Mail, specifically sending

For Starters: I am on OSX 10.9.2 and am trying to use mail 7.2.
https://discussions.apple.com/post!input.jspa?container=2998&containerType=14&qu estion=I+desperately+need+help+with+Mail%2C+specifically+sending
I cannot send. I have been at this for hours and hours and hours. Here are the details.
my mail server however is s1.sistercompany.net
I can receive email just fine. I can also send mail just find having set this up on my iphone and also in thunderbird (which i hate hate hate hate hate hate hate, which is why I am desperate to set up mail)
The settings in thunderbird are as follows:
Servername: s1.sistercompany.net
port: 465
Authentication method: normal password
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
However, I just can't get this to work in Mail. When I write an email and hit send I get a popup that says:
Cannot send message using the server s1.sistercompany.net
The certifcate for this server is invalid.
Now, my tech guy says yeah the certifacte is invalid because you are going through sistercompany server, there should be some way to just accept the certifcate anyway (but he has never used mail before).
So I have serached around and come up with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11706
Which tells me to use the verify certificate dialogue, which I would do except there is no verify certificate dialog. Any thoughts?

Sending email from Lr4 with Thunderbird

Can anyone provide some help for sending email from Lr4 with Thunderbird as the email program. When I select a photo and right-click Email Photo... I get the email photo dialog box with Mozilla Thunderbird in the From drop down. I click Send, and then I get an error message that says "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
Well, it seems as thigh Lr has Thunderbird in the From drop down, it knows an email program exists. Thunderbird is set as the default. I'm not sure what associations I am supposed to make (.eml and .wdseml are the default extensions, MAILTO is the default protocol, and Send mail is the default MAPI).
Ay clues or hints?

My default mail program is Thunderbird, and it works OK with Lightroom. If you are on a Windows 7 PC, go to Control Panel and check this out.
Hope it helps.

I can't get my email account synced with Thunderbird.

I have a student account with Columbia University (cub mail). I cannot get it synced with Thunderbird. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Login to your webmail (http://yourwebmailaddress) and if you don't know it ask your IT department for it, this is different from loging into outlook, then go to options(upright corener) and click on Mobile Devices, select the device you see there and delete, wait a couplke of minutes then try setting up the E-mail on your phone, if that does not work then ask your IT to make sure you webmail account is not locked since this is how it get sync'd up with your iPhone.

Sync with Thunderbird and foobar

Hello,
I have an Android phone and use Thunderbird. Now I'm thinking about buying a Blackberry due to its gread OS and keyboard.
I downloaded Blackberry Link software and noticed that, I can't choose Thunderbird as E-Mail client to sync my mails, contacts, appointments and messages.
Also I can't choose foobar2000 as media player.
Isn't possiblle to add different media players to sync with Blackberry Link?
Is there any possibility to sync data with Thunderbird?
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

Help with if statement in cursor and for loop to get output

I have the following cursor and and want to use if else statement to get the output. The cursor is working fine. What i need help with is how to use and if else statement to only get the folderrsn that have not been updated in the last 30 days. If you look at the talbe below my select statement is showing folderrs 291631 was updated only 4 days ago and folderrsn 322160 was also updated 4 days ago.
I do not want these two to appear in my result set. So i need to use if else so that my result only shows all folderrsn that havenot been updated in the last 30 days.
Here is my cursor:
/*Cursor for Email procedure. It is working Shows userid and the string
You need to update these folders*/
DECLARE
a_user varchar2(200) := null;
v_assigneduser varchar2(20);
v_folderrsn varchar2(200);
v_emailaddress varchar2(60);
v_subject varchar2(200);
Cursor c IS
SELECT assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, trunc(f.indate) AS "IN DATE",
MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "LAST UPDATE",
trunc(sysdate) - MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "DAYS PAST"
--MAX (TRUNC (fpa.attemptdate)) - TRUNC (f.indate) AS "NUMBER OF DAYS"
FROM folder f, folderprocess fp, validuser vu, folderprocessattempt fpa
WHERE f.foldertype = 'HJ'
AND f.statuscode NOT IN (20, 40)
AND f.folderrsn = fp.folderrsn
AND fp.processrsn = fpa.processrsn
AND vu.userid = fp.assigneduser
AND vu.statuscode = 1
GROUP BY assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, f.indate
ORDER BY fp.assigneduser;
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN c LOOP
IF (c1.assigneduser = v_assigneduser) THEN
dbms_output.put_line(' ' || c1.folderrsn);
else
dbms_output.put(c1.assigneduser ||': ' || 'Overdue Folders:You need to update these folders: Folderrsn: '||c1.folderrsn);
END IF;
a_user := c1.assigneduser;
v_assigneduser := c1.assigneduser;
v_folderrsn := c1.folderrsn;
v_emailaddress := c1.emailaddress;
v_subject := 'Subject: Project for';
END LOOP;
END;
The reason I have included the folowing table is that I want you to see the output from the select statement. that way you can help me do the if statement in the above cursor so that the result will look like this:
emailaddress
Subject: 'Project for ' || V_email || 'not updated in the last 30 days'
v_folderrsn
v_folderrsn
etc

Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!

Help with HP Laser Printer 1200se

HP Support Line,
Really need your assistance. I have tried both contacting HP by phone (told they no longer support our printer via phone help), the tech told me that I needed to contact HP by e-mail for assistance. I then sent an e-mail for assistance and got that reply today, the reply is as follows "Randall, unfortunately, HP does not offer support via e-mail for your product. However many resources are available on the HP web site that may provide the answer to your inquiry. Support is also available via telephone. A list of technical support numbers can be round at the following URL........." The phone numbers listed are the ones I called and the ones that told me I needed to contact the e-mail support for help.
So here I am looking for your help with my issue.
We just bought a new HP Pavillion Slimline Desk Top PC (as our 6 year old HP Pavillion PC died on us). We have 2 HP printers, one (an all-in-one type printer, used maily for copying and printing color, when needed) is connected and it is working fine with the exception of the scanning option (not supported by Windows 7). However we use our Laser Printer for all of our regular prining needs. This is the HP LaserPrinter 1200se, which is about 6 years old but works really well. For this printer we currently only have a parallel connection type cord and there is not a parallel port on the Slimline HP PC. The printer also has the option to connedt a USB cable (we do not currently have this type of cable).
We posed the following two questions:
1. Is the Laser Jet 1200se compatible with Windows 7?
and if this is the case
2. Can we purchase either a) a USC connection cord (generic or do we need a printer specific cord)? or b) is there there a printer cable converter adapater to attach to our parallel cable to convert to a USB connection?
We do not want to purchase the USB cable if Windows 7 will not accept the connection, or if doing this will harm the PC.
We really would appreciate any assitance that you might give us.
Thank you,
Randy and Leslie Gibson

Sorry, both cannot be enabled by design. That said, devices on a network do not care how others are connected. You can print from a wireless connection to a wired (Ethernet) printer and v/v.

Going to Australia and need help with Power converters

Facts:
US uses 110v on 60hz
Australia 220v on 50hz
Making sure I understood that correctly. Devices I plan on bringing that will use power are PS3 Slim, MacBook Pro 2008 model, and WD 1TB External HDD. My DS, and Cell are charging via USB to save trouble of other cables.
Ideas I've had or thought of:
1. Get a power converter for a US Powerstrip, and then plug in my US items into the strip and then the strip into an AUS Converter into Australian outlet. Not sure if this fixes the voltage/frequency change.
2. Get power converters for all my devices. But, not sure if my devices needs ways of lowering the voltage/increasing frequency or something to help with the adjustment.
3. Buy a universal powerstrip, which is extremely costly and I wouldn't be able to have here in time (I leave Thursday). Unless Best Buy carrys one.

Check the specs on input voltage/frequency of your power supplies.
Many laptop power supplies are "universal/global" and are specced something like 80-265 volts AC 50/60 Hz, but not all. These will just need a connector adapter.
Unsure about the PS3 Slim - if it isn't universal it could be difficult as you'll need a 110/220 transformer, one big enough (power-handling wise) for the PS3 will be very bulky.
For the external WD HDD, if it doesn't have a universal supply, you're probably best off just finding a new wallwart for it that is capable of running on 220/50.
*disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.

I am trying to create a context-sensitive Microsoft Help with FM12 only using the abilities of FM (no RoboHelp). For some reasons, my assigned ID's are not used in the generated chm file and therefore the help does not work context-sensitively.
What did I do?
- I created my FM files and assigned topic aliases to the headers. I did this two ways: a) using the "Special" menue and assigning a CSH marker and/or b) setting a new marker of type "Topic Alias" and typing the ID. I used only numeric IDs like "2000" or "4200",
- I created a .h file (projectname.h) - based on the format of the file projectname_!Generated!.h (I read this in some instructions). So the .h file (text file) looks like this:
#define 2000 2000 /* 4 Anwendungsoberfläche */
#define 2022 2022 /* 4.1.1 Menü Datei */
#define 2030 2030 /* 4.1.3 Menü Parametersatz */
#define 2180 2180 /* 6.6.7 Objektdialog Q-Regler */
#define 2354 2354 /* 6.9.2 Objektdialog Extran Parameter */
#define 2560 2560 /* 6.9.5 Objektdialog Extran2D Parametersatz */
- I published the Microsoft HTML Help. A projectname_!Generated!.h has been created. My IDs were not used in this file:
#define 2000    1
#define 2022    2
#define 2030    3
#define 2180    4
#define 2354    5
#define 2560    6
- When I open the .chm file and look in the source code, the ID even is totally different. It is not the one, I assigned in FM, it is not the one which I assigned in the projectname.h file and it even is not the one, which was put in the projectname_!Generated!.h file. It is a generated name starting with CSH_1 ...n in a consecutive way numbered.
Example:
<p class="FM_Heading1"><a name="XREF_72066_13_Glossar"></a>Gloss<a name="CSH_1"></a>ar</p>
What goes wrong? Why does FM not take my assigned IDs? I need to use these IDs since our programmers are using those already - I had to re-create the whole online help but the programs stay untouched.
Please help!
Many thanks
Mohi

Hi Jeff,
thanks for your note!
The text in my marker is just a number like "2000" or "4200". As said, I created manually a my.h file and used this marker there. E.g.
#define 2000 2000.
Whereby the first 2000 (in my opinion) is the marker text and the second 2000 is the context ID which the programmers are using for the context sensitive call of the help. My definitions in the my.h file were translated to #define 2000 1 (in the my_!Generated!.h file). The source code "translates" the context ID into CSH_8.
I am still confused :-/
Thanks
Mohi
