How can I find and read emails that Thunderbird has downloaded to my computer?

I have read that Thunderbird puts copies of emails into the profiles folder. On finding the folder I see what looks like the folder names I have made in Thunderbird and yet see no individual emails. When I try to open them Thunderbird wants to make them an attachment in an outgoing email. Also, as of now Thunderbird only wants to connect to the ISP and open the emails there.

re: supplied image of 2014.sbd file
Yes the files (no extension) these are mbox files and have different sizes so they must contain emails.
I also notice that all the '''.msf '''files are a different date and firefox files instead of text file that look same as the mbox file.
In your Profile folder, Mail, Local folders - Locate the file you showed us in the image.
Close Thunderbird now - this is important.
Delete all the files that show a .msf extension.
Restart Thunderbird.

  • Where can I find the pop3 emails that have been downloaded onto my surface pro tablet?

    I have thunderbird setup to include 5 different business email accounts. They are all setup as pop3 accounts. My dropbox will not syn anymore because I don't have any disk space on my computer. I have been told its because my emails have been downloaded onto my computer. I cannot find them anywhere and have tried cleaning up my c drive. Can you please tell me where to look for them on my c drive? I have already deleted thousands of emails from thunderbird itself but it hasn't made a difference in how much disk space I have. Thank you.

    Did you compact folders after deleting. If not that is why no space freed up. Delete marks for deletion and hides the messages. Compacting removes them and frees up space.

  • How can i find the apple id that was used to purchase a computer?

    Someone else in our company purchased a MacBook Air online. He said that when he went through the purchasing process he selected 'Guest' and didn't create an Apple ID. He used a company credit card to pay, which *may* have had an Apple ID associated with it (but I don't think so since it's a fairly new card).
    The new computer is one day old.  I'm setting it up for the user; but when I go to the 'App Store >  Updates' I'm unable to update 'Pages.' It prompts me for an Apple ID.  I've typed in several that are in use here, but I get the error "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    Similarly, if I go to store.apple.com to look up the Order Number for this computer, I am prompted for an Apple ID (even though I have the order number).
    I realize this may not be the right place to post this, but I can't for the life of me find a generic 'Apple Store' (not for Apps) or 'Apple ID' community.  If someone can point me to a more appropriate community, I'll be happy to repost...

    I'm being prompted for both Apple ID and password, if that's what you're asking...
    I went to System Preferences > App Store and it shows "You are signed in as <myAppleID> in the App Store."  So I went back to the 'App Store > Updates' to update Pages using my Apple ID/passwd, I get the error message "this update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    This is a brand new computer, so whose Apple ID is associated with Pages? ...ab

  • How can I find and eliminate duplicates in iTunes 11?

    I can't seem to find the "Find exact duplicates" item in the File Menu in version 11. How can I find and deal with duplicates?

    Shift-View-Show Exact Duplicates should reveal them. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

    hello! how can i put and read my words documents in the notes pad of my ipod nano 3trd generation?thanks to all.

    The Notes features of the 3G iPod Nano only supports TXT files and not Word Documents.  If you want to be able to read these word documents, you'll need to copy the text from each over to a text file.  See here for more information.

    Keep in mind that each txt file has a limit of 4096 characters.  See this article for more information as well.

  • I can not find "app of the day" from app store on my ipod,how can i find and download it?

    i can not find "app of the day" from app store on my ipod,how can i find and download it?

    It is possible that the app was removed from the App Store. If so you will not be able to get it back, unless you have it downloaded on your computer.
    If you had downloaded it before and it is still in the store, you can go to the App Store app on your iPod and go to the Updates tab. Then you tap on "Purchased" and see if it is available to download from your previous purchases.
    Hope this helps!

  • My iPhoto library just reverted to an old library: How can I find, and re-access my current library?

    My iPhoto library just reverted to an old library: how can I find and re-access my current library?  I opened my iPhoto, and got the message that it needed to "update" to use this library.  I thought maybe there had been a software update since I last opened the program (2 days ago).  The library it opened was saved in a file on the desk-top.  My current file was just in iPhoto.  Please help!

    Best option: Restore from your back up.
    Otherwise:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • My question is how can i find and redownload all my older apps ?

    HI,
    I have an Iphone 4, and bought mostly all of my Apps from my Iphone.
    I needed a certain App called Viber and tried to download it.
    I didn't work and it told me to download it from my computer (Macbook pro) Itunes,
    which i did, then i synched (my error) my iphone to my mac, then it erased all my apps from my iphone.
    My question is how can i find and redownload all my older apps ?
    Do i have to go find them manually and download them again?

    I'm guessing on the computer you connected to you were not logged into our account in iTunes and/or you never transferred your apps from your iPhone to your computer.
    Yes, you will need to download all of them again manually.

    I installed the trial of Media Encoder CC but cannot find the imx30 preset. Where and how can i find and install this feature.

    In the case of the trial mode, the license to MXF OP1a format as well as MPEG2 format are not activated if you install only Media Encoder only.  If this is the case, in order to activate those formats in the trial mode, please also install Premiere Pro, After Effects or Prelude and launch it at least once.  After this, re-launching Media Encoder should make MXF OP1a format available.

  • How can I open and edit files that were developed and published by ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access.

    How can I open and edit files that were developed and published via ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access. The HD containing the files cannot be accessed. I want to be able to download the published files to be edited in iweb?

    You CAN'T download published files and then edit them in iWeb because iWeb can't open them - it has no import facility so is unable to open any html or css files - a previously published site.
    You can download these files yes, but you'll need to use them as a guide or to cut and paste text from there whilst you re-build your site in iWeb.
    The only other way is to download the files and then open them with an html editor such as TextWrangler or use one of the other web design programmes out there that is capable of importing html and css such as Dreamweaver of Flux 4.
    These are your only alternatives as iWeb can't import and if you want to continue to use iWeb, then you'll have to re-build your site from scratch.  If you do just remember to back up your domain.sites file this time around - it is found under your User/Library/Applicaion Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
