Hoping for specifics- Moving hosting, leaving email alone

I am hoping for a specific tutorial. Perhaps it's been said before and I have read many Going Live tutorials, however, I am nervous about moving things and minimizing the down time for my client.
Details;
Her Registrar is at GoDaddy.com
Her hosting is at XYZ.com (name changed for security reasons). (The DNS Servers on GoDaddy clearly point to XYZ's Nameservers)
XYZ.com also hosts her email
She wants to move the HOSTING ONLY to BC, and kept the email UNTOUCHED and at XYZ.com
XYZ Host has said they can split the host and email.
Can someone please provide me with a very basic step by step way to accomplish this, with specics.
First-
What exact steps do I need to take at GoDaddy
Then at Business Catalyst?
(or should I do it in reverse?)

I just wanted to cycle back, just in case anyone else has questions like mine.
I found a different forum that explained things to me in a way which helped me understand more than I ever have and understand in a way which helped me feel confident in getting things done.
Thanks to those who were patient with me when I was asking questions, which now, I know were redundant.
In the end, this is what I did to get my client's Hosting over to BC, leave the email alone without any down time in the email.
Step 1-Upgraded her site in Business Catalyst and set it up.
I left the DNS and email to be hosted externally.
Step 2- I emailed XYZ Host, (Cced my client) and asked him CHANGE the A records to new BC site- asking him to include 3 records *.sitename.com, www.sitename.com, and sitename.com -- and provided him with BC's IP address for US servers. (which according to BC site is - 192.150.2.140 for sites on the United States data center)
Step 3- I did nothing on GoDaddy, and allowed it to be a "pass through"- which pointed everything to XYZ Host (he has the DNS settings still) , which then pointed traffic and hosting to BC, and left the email untouched.
I decided to go this route instead of re-delegating the DNS to have it pointed to BC (or moved back to Godaddy- and have the A records go to BC, and the MX to Email), because my client was MOST nervous about ANY email downtime, as her business is dependant in LARGE part to constant interaction with her clients. This allowed the email to go untouched.
I finally understood it like this- the DNS (Nameservers) is the guy with the control. He holds the keys... so to speak. Moving those keys (Pointing the Nameservers) back to GoDaddy or BC, in my mind would have potentially left my client without email for a few hours, which was very undesireable. So I left the keys in the hands of the Email Hoster, and just asked him to put a road sign up pointing web traffic to BC (The A Records).
Liam- looking back, this is exactly what you said, I just didn't understand it then. Now I do. For me, drawing a picture, or using allegory works best. (Hope it works for others as well.)
Again, thanks all.

My IPhone 4's mailing feature does not display the toolbar at the bottom for deleting, moving, or writing emails. What is wrong with it?

My work recently decided to buy every full time employee an IPhone 4 to be used for work purposes. (I do suspect these are refurbished, but I don't think that matters) I have had no trouble with it, except for on occasion the mailing feature does not display the toolbar at the bottom for deleting, moving, or writing emails. You know what I'm talking about...that bar at the bottom of the mailbox when you open an email that you use to delete, respond, forward, move, etc. It just goes away for no reason, and then reappears for a day or two, and goes away again. It is quite annoying since I can't respond to any of my emails without getting on my work computer. If you have any suggestions, please help!

Hi there,
You may need to force close the Mail application when this happens. The next time this happens, use the steps in the article below to coles out of the mail application.

Moved hosting of email and now can't send or receive emails

did a search on the forum but can seem to find a solution to my problem.
so has any one ever had any problems with removing an email account (with estreet) and then adding a new account (with Dreamhost.com) to a blackberry?
it is the same email address but we moved the hosting last night.... vocapr.com
My client can't send or receive email but isn't getting an error message ... just nothing is happening. She can send and receive via Outlook and on my iphone.
we also did a hard reboot but it still won't send or receive emails.
Please advise.

Hi,
If your using BIS - Log into your BIS account and delete the email address and recreate it again - the email server details are pointing to the wrong email server.
If your using BES ,then the BES needs to get the correct Mail Server details - Delete the user form the BES and add them back, then reactivate the Handset.

Moving some Inbox Emails to subfolders leaves a duplicate copy in the inbox

Hi All hope you can offer some advice on this strange issue we are having.
We have recently installed a SBS2011 server. During installation I updated Exchange to SP3 (which we always do)
We created .PST for each user and imported email using powershell - all Imported across successfully.
The one user have 4gb of email which is made up of inbox and subfolders.
The issue we are having is this -
When this user attempts to move an email by either Drag n Drop or Rt Click and MOVE to folder - the email appears in the moved folder but also stays in the Inbox (in effect creating a duplicate)
Now - If I then move the one that appears in the sub folder to another folder - it moves without leaving a duplicate in the original subfolder ......... the one in the inbox is still there though.
I tried logging off and back in - the email is still in both places.
I deleted the one in the sub folder and the one in the inbox disappears as well ??
I have tried it in OWA and Outlook 2013 and the problem still occurs.
I have tried sending a 3mb email into the admin account and re-creating the issue -- but this seems to work fine...
So in summary - its only happening on some emails for some users ...
Can anyone suggest a starting point for this.... I know its real strange behaviour for email and something i have never come across before
Kind Regards
Stuart

Hi -
This is what I have tried as advised.
1. Created a new .PST file of a users account using outlook 2013
2. Tested that all files move ok when opening the .pst ---- YES they do
3. Deleted emails from users Exchange account using powershell
4. Opened Outlook and confirmed all emails were gone - YES all empty.
5. Re-Imported from local .PST file using outlook on the PC to Import into mail account.
6. Once all folders are updated - tested the emails that were causing problems moving - Problem still the same.
I have checked Exchange and can confirm that this is Exchange 2010 SP3 with Rollup 7 (so culdnt get any more up to date)
Can anyone else please offer any advice / Tips?
Remember this only happens on some emails in the inbox ....some emails move just fine.
The ones that seem to create a duplicate - if I delete from either the inbox or the folder then both go ...so its almost as if its a ghost copy being created......i'm flummoxed though for sure..
Regards

I found this program sqlite with dll for firefox and thunderbird, is this a program thatis pat of your system? Should I delete entries or leave them alone?

I am looking for what is generating internet activity on my pc and I came across entries for sqlite.exe that has dlls for firefox and thunderbird. Is this a program you use with these programs? Should I leave it alone ot delete?
Paul Shodean

Also, although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

Why does Firefox seize control of my PC "for updates" as soon as it is turned on? Leave me alone, for cryin' out loud!

All I want to do is connect with MSNBC via Mozilla. But each time I click on the Mozilla icon, up comes Firefox with "updates." How can Firefox believe that it can force its way into my home, seize my computer, and then force me to sit here while waiting for you to do its thing? Leave us alone--if we need updates, allow us to do it AT OUR CHOOSING & not when it delights you!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Too numerous to remember

You can turn off all updates for Firefox if you wish. But first, read this: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/734822?#threadId734866
If you are talking about Add-ons updates, you can also turn those off but you face the same problem with missing important security and stability updates for your add-ons.
Turning off the updates would be like not keeping your Windows XP updated. You are on XP SP3, I hope, since XP SP2 is not longer supported. Also, do you update XP every month on the 2nd Tuesday?
If you decide to update Firefox and its add-ons manually, don't forget to manually check for updates occasionally (once per week, once per month). To turn off the automatic updates, Tools > Options > Advanced > Update tab; see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel#Update_tab

Why does my itouch constantly ask for my Apple ID password after updating to OS 5.1 even when I just leave it alone?

Ever since I updated to OS 5.1 my itouch has been asking me for my Apple ID password roughly about 6 times a day when I just leave it alone, like I'm not even downloading anything for it to even ask for my password so what is the deal? I've already tried doing a hard reset, still the same. And no I have not done a factory restore that's just a last step I'll ever do, it's just annoying to be constantly asked for my password.

You might have some app updates or other itmes that are trying to download.

My outlook for MAC does not upload emails unless I hit send/receive. This is even when I leave it open for period of time. I want it to upload anytime a email comes. How?

My Outlook for Mac does not upload emails unless I hit send/receive even though it is left open. How do I change the schedule?

Outlook is a Microsoft product, there is a forum specifically for Office for Mac's at:

My recommendation would be to repost there.

Moving host to business catalyst

Hi,
Let me start by saying that I'm an old (and therefore print) designer, just getting into web design, thanks to Muse.
I have created sites for friends when they have just bought their domains, changed the name servers and everything works. This time, I want to change hosts - from my previous host to BC. Not so easy. Hoping I've just missed something...
Firstly, I couldn't change my name servers myself, so I have asked my old hosts to do it for me. When I made my test site live, the name servers BC gave me ( in a little pop-up box) were the same as I have used before, (ns1.worldsecuresystems.com etc.) but they had numbers after them. Is this correct? They say its working fine, but It's still the same old site, not the one I did on Muse.
Secondly, I can't get my emails to work. I want to use the same emails I used with my old hosts, but it won't let me add my email address. Perhaps this is because it is the one I used to join Adobe and BC? And because I am no longer hosting with my old hosts, other email addresses associated with my domain don't work, so I can't answer any invitations!
Is there other stuff I have to put in? Records etc.?
Hope someone can help!
Bert

Thanks Liam,
I have been in contact with my old hosts and they assure me that my website has been pointed in the right direction and that it just may take some time for my ISP's cache to detect the DNS change. Not sure how long 'some time' is but it's been well over 24 hours.
At this point, when I browse for my site, it's still coming up with the old site, the with my old hosts, not the one I launched through Muse to BC. I have tried refreshing my browser. When I try to manage my site, I get the following message:
Not Found
The requested URL /Admin/Index2.aspx was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
As far as emails go, I have subscribed to a WebBasics+ site, so I have 10 emails included. I have been able to invite some of my email addresses (with my [email protected]) but when they click on the link, they get an error. It won't let me have my existing email address, not sure why. Perhaps this will all change when BCs ISP cache catches up?
I'll watch the vids and see if they can help.
Thanks,
Bert

How to Change Outlook Default Folder for Insert-Attachment and Save Email/Attachemnt while Outlook is open (VBA)

Hello,
Office 2010 32bit, VBA
Is it possible to programmatically do the above while Outlook is running? If so, I'm hoping to make that change from a Word macro.
I tried tinkering with the reg key and that doesn't work because it appears Outlook only respects it at startup time. Similary changing Word File-options-location of documents is respected only when Outlook starts.
I'm looking to seamlessly keep Outlook's default folder in sync with Word's default folder as the users change working folders in Word, which they do many times per day (and they chose the folder among a couple of thousand possibilities).
I'm hoping there is a difficult-to-find Outlook object I can manipuate to get to the end result. IF there is such an Object I have been unable to find it.
Many thanks!
Julie

Hi Julie,
Based on my research, I think outlook object model doesn’t provide the way to change the default folder for insert attachment and save email/attachment.
The way to change it is that we need to modify the registry setting and the outlook app should be restart.

You may create the add-in to custom these actions (e.g. attach attachment, save email)

How can i host multiple email accounts?

Hi there,
I've a problem.
I have installed Lion os x server with the latest updates.
I need help to set up Separate E-Mail Accounts for each Domain, so each Domain receives it's own mail.
I have the following domains that i want to host with emails.
www.example1.com
www.example2.com
Hosting of website is not a problem. I have it working including PHP+MYSQL.
But now..How can i setup to receive and send emails with both domains? (www.example1.com and www.example2.com)
I want to have something like this:
www.example1.com:
[email protected]
Hostname: server.example1.com
Outgoing: server.example1.com
and
www.example2.com:
[email protected]
Hostname: server.example2.com
Outgoing: server.example2.com
for www.example1.com it's the standard one and works fine (including apple Push). But realy confusing that i cannot get it work with example2.com.
Can anybody help me? I've searched the whole web but cannot find a good answer.
Thank you very much in advance!

You can run multiple domains in postfix/Mac OS X server, but don't get bogged down with the hostname.
There is nothing wrong with mail for a [email protected] being delivered to/from a server.example2.com (or vice versa). Most users never see the hostname of the server in the process, so don't bother trying to create multiple hostnames on the server to make this work. If you're really bothered just create records in your DNS that map back to the same IP address (e.g. server.example1.com -> 1.2.3.4, server.example2.com -> CNAME -> server.example1.com) so users can use either hostname.
For the accounts, there are two ways of managing multiple domains, depending largely on your comfort level with the command line vs. GUI, and how the users map.
If the usernames are the same (e.g. [email protected] is the same person as [email protected]) then the simplest thing to do is tell postfix to accept mail for both domains - mail addressed to either domain (example1.com or example2.com) will route to the same user's mailbox.
If your users are different then you can either use Mac OS X-style aliases or postfix aliases.
The Mac OS X-style aliases work through Workgroup Manager - you add all your users to the main directory, and create additional shortnames for each user's email addresses. For example, you might have a user 'joe' who is also '[email protected]', so add that second email address as a shortname.
Postfix-style aliases require setting up in the command line, where you create maps of email addresses to users, and is well documented on various postfix-driven web sites.

I recently changed my iCloud account because someone stole my last phone and changed all my passwords for both my iCloud and emails account. So when I changed my account I accedently erased all my contacts is there anything I can do? (It wasn't backup)

I'd say your best bet is to try to regain access to your old account. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE, and ask to talk to the account security team. Hopefully they can verify you are the account owner, and then reset the password for you.

Hi there. I hoping for help. I am struggling with both...

hi there. I hoping for help.
I am struggling with both my WRT54G router set-up and i can't seem to use your online chat system. I hope that you can help.
I have just moved from Hong Kong to New Zealand and I'm trying to install my WRT54G, bought in Hong Kong, to connect to a Telstra braodband internet connection, but when I follow the instruction CD-ROM I get to the point (number 6 - although this point is numbered 7 in the instructions?!?) when I have connected the router it then says it is checking my settings and then it asks me to put in a password. It then checks my system again and then asks me for the password again, and this repeatedly. I can't get past this point. Because this was happening I pushed the reset button on the back of the router, but it still asks me for a password (I have tried using admin as the password without success) and then goes through the check and asks me for the password again. Any help would be great.
Thanks.

What windows OS are you running? It may have not installed correctly.
First go to control panel in start menu, then add/remove programs. it should be in there.
If you do not see it there then go to programs files and see if it is there. if so you can delete the folder it is in, then run disk clean up.
By manually setting up did this work? would like to know the end results.

There are threads ongoing on similar topics. This is not a suitable topic for this forum.
I will pass on any comments from the other threads and original post in this one, but I'm closing this topic and any further petitions like this as it will just result in "Creative-bashing" and unproducti've comments.
