How can I migrate Vista Mail to Thunderbird when Vista Mail has no export function?

I understand TB can directly import .eml messages and folders when they are exported correctly, but Windows Mail in Vista has no export facility. And the third-party TB add-on ImportExport Tools doesn't even list Windows Mail in its import window.
The first line of TB's "Switching from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird" instruction page is a showstopper because it says: "In order to export messages from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird, you must export messages from the Windows application and import them into Thunderbird." How does one force Vista Mail to export mail so TB can import it?

I have never seen the vista mail. But I have seen dialogs like this in my copy of windows live mail http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/90298-windows-mail-messages.html Don't you have them in Vista?

  • How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels

    How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels ? I used to be able to do this but in Mavericks this ability seems to have gone away. Am I missing something ?

    Actually in my case it doesn't work. I used to be able to pull up the font window with it but the button merely flickers when I click it. The image selection button and font color both are functional. WEIRD. I don't think this is a Mavericks issue as I recall having it come up with one of my user profiles before installing. Now I can't make it happen with either of my user profiles.
    I don't seem to have printing issues in other applications. And I recently reset the fonts in a futile attempt to correct this.
    I may post a new topic in Mail Contacts and Calendar if there is no response here after a bit.

  • HELP: how can I migrate my contacts from thunderbird to mail?

    My grandmother just got a macbook, and the apple store transfered her thunderbird to thunderbird for mac instead of migrating it to address book and mail.

    You can export Thunderbird's Address Book as a LDIF file which Address Book can then import.

  • How can i require password to be input when accessing mail

    I don't want to be able to access mail without putting in a password. How do I set this?

    What I've done is set my iPad up so that it auto-locks after 15 minutes of not being used, requiring a passcode to get back in.  You can set it up for more or less time.  While it isn't as convenient as having a password required for the email specifically, it does help protect it a little bit. 
    You may know this already, but you can also set your iPad up to require that you manually retrieve your email.  Again, not as good as having a password, but at least the messages don't suddenly appear.

  • When looking at recent calls on my iPhone running iOS 7, how can I tell which number called me when a contact has multiple numbers listed?

    I have an iPhone 5s and I am coming from an Android phone. On the Android phone, when looking at recent calls both the contact name and the number is displayed. On my iPhone I only see the contact name, in the case of contacts with multiple numbers attached how do I see which number the call came from?

    Click the "i" in the circle to the right of the contact name.
    The phone number the call came from is listed in blue.

  • I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?

    I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?
    My iphone and my ipad are compatible but when I try to go to icloud on my phone it says to do it on my computer.
    I would like to have my calendar, contacts, etc.. all sync like they do now. Is there a way to upgrade before June 30th? If not, will the gap be an issue or will I just be able to buy mountain lion and sync everything?
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    You can buy Lion in the App Store now, but move to iCloud now. If you wait to Mountain Lion, you will only have Mail in Snow Leopard, so you will lose syncing unless you use Lion or Mountain Lion. It's up to you

  • How can i migration netscape messaging 3.6 mailbox to iplanet messaging 5.2 mailbox

    how can i migration netscape messaging 3.6 mailbox to iplanet messaging 5.2 mailbox

    Once you have created all the users on the directory, you can use mboxutil and deliver, to copy the mails from one box to another. I have done this twice, but I can't send you the scripts for a legal problem.
    If a user on the NMS3.6 use pop, there is only a folder called uid/inbox, with something like:
    ./uid/inbox/__VALIDITY__
    ./uid/inbox/__lock__
    ./uid/inbox/__deliver__
    ./uid/inbox/__GENNAME__
    ./uid/inbox/__highest__
    ./uid/inbox/20020106172021.AAA.4ce2af5a
    ./uid/inbox/20020106215444.AAA.4ce2af5a
    ./uid/inbox/20020106232803.AAA.4ce2af5a
    ./uid/inbox/20020106233026.AAA.4ce2af5a
    All the files that begin with _ are useless. And the files like 200... are the emails. So you have the uid, and the files that you have to copy.
    To deliver an email to a user, that user MUST have a mailbox. So first you have to create the mailbox, through execute "mboxutil -c user/uid/INBOX", after that you can copy the email using, "deliver -m inbox uid < ./uid/inbox/20020106172021.AAA.4ce2af5a".
    You can use a script to first create all the mailboxes, after that you can deliver all the emails.
    If your users use IMAP, then they can have differents folders, the idea is the same, first create all the folder(always create the INBOX first), in the _MAILBOX.LST file there is a list of the folders of every user.

  • How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?

    How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?
    I used to store my pictures on an external hard drive using the latest version of Aperture. Now I tried migrating my Aperture library to Photos. However, after a short moment an error message popped up telling me that "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions...".
    My external HDD doesn't need any permission repairs nor is the system prohibited to read from or write to it.
    Thanks for any advice in advance!

    My guess is that the encryption is the problem for the new app.

    How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?

    That is a function of your email account, if it is an Imap account it will sync, if it's a POP account, it won't.

  • How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.
