How can I move an e-mail forwarded as an attachment into my inbox?

I recently migrated from MS Outlook 2003 to Thunderbird 24.4.0 for my personal e-mail because I can't afford the latest MS Outlook and wouldn't really want version 2013 anyway. Prior to the migration, any time someone sent me a personal e-mail at work, I would forward it home as an attachment and move that attachment into my inbox at home. In Thunderbird, I find that when I drag the e-mail attachment from the attachment section to the Inbox folder (the actual folder in the navigation pane or the list of e-mails in the inbox), I get the unavailable symbol (circle with slash through it). I am guessing this is not going to be something I can do in Thunderbird, but wanted to check here and see if anyone had other ways to get the same end result.
The reason I have done this historically is to preserve the original e-mail and have the mail client show me who sent it to me. Viewing the forwarded message is fine, but if I want to look for it later, I have to look for a forwarding e-mail from myself instead of the original message that was sent to me.
Beyond getting people to use my personal address (really not sure why/how they have my work one), does anyone have any advice that could make this happen? For the record, I also tried resending the e-mail to my personal address as if it were from the original sender, but that won't fly at work due to the security configuration in the Exchange server.

Save the attachment, and give it an eml extension if it doesn't have one (messages attached to TB messages are named 'Attached Message'), then drag the eml file from the Explorer folder where you saved it and drop it on a TB folder in the Folder Pane.

How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles (would like to move whole bookmark folders at once if possible) into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles? This is all under one window user account, I am using windows 8.1. Even if you have information on how to do it on a different windows, it may still be helpful. Thanks for any input you have.

Just a note about the difference between these two things:
* "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
* "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.
Related support articles:
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
* [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile. See: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites].

How can I reply to e-mails forwarded to my main e-mail address?

Hoping somebody can help.
I've been assigned an e-mail by an organisation I do voluntary work for occasionally ([email protected]) which is set up so that any e-mail sent to that address forwards to my main MobileMe e-mail address. I would like to be to reply to any e-mails received so that the 'from' field shows this same e-mail address.
I've tried to add it as a new account in Mail, however Mail tells me that I can't leave the 'incoming mail server' blank (which I obviously don't need) and so this isn't possible. As a workaround I tried writing 'nomail' here which at least enabled me to set up the account, however the downside is that Mail is now constantly reporting that there's a problem with this account (permanent warning triangle next to my In box) which is irritating.
So my question is, is there a neater way to answer this kind of forwarded e-mail account? I know these kind of accounts are quite common so Apple must have considered this!
Many thanks
Charles

The answer is more or less what you seem to have done, with a couple of added refinements. Set up a new account in Mail; give the Email address as that of the address in question. Enter any old garbage in Incoming Mail Server, User Name and Password, and set Outgoing Mail Server to use your ISPs server - this seems to be qhat you have done and is working - I assume you can send OK?
Now click on the 'Advanced' tab. Check 'Enable this account' (should be done already); Uncheck 'Include when automatically checking for new mail'. This will stop the error messages unless you manually get mail from all accounts.
Now in Mail Prefs click on 'Composing' in the toolbar. Set 'Send new messages from' to 'Account of selected mailbox'. This should recognize messages which have been forwarded from the other account and automatically set the 'From' address to the correct one (you can also do this manually from the menu in the header bar of the new/reply message pane).

How can I select number of mails that stall be shown in the Inbox

I have an mailaccount synchronised with my Outlook account. But in the Inbox (on the IPad) only the latest 50 mails are available. How can I increase this number?

Pre iOS7 you could go into the settings and choose a number of mails, post iOS7 you can only set the number of days as Amishcake laid out.

How can I move an e mail account from one family pack to another

I have an e mail address (not main family pack e mail address) and I would like to move it to another family pack. Is this possible and if so how?
Thanks

Caroline12, Welcome to the discussion area!
I believe that your question is about a Mobile Me family pack account. If that is true, I believe that the answer is no.
But your probably should post your question in the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > MobileMe discussion area.

How can I move the ~/Library/Mail folder?

I partition my hard drives into Startup/OSX, Tools, and several data volumes. I would MUCH rather store email and attachments in a data volume, as I do all my other work product, big application caches, Music, and Pictures folders. I have tried aliases and symbolic links, and everything is ignored by Mail; no mailbox is recognized unless it is in the original location, unlike Pictures, Music, Movies, etc.
I would appreciate having control over this. Does anyone have ay tips or workarounds? I am capable of diddling plists and other config files at a fairly low level, if necessary.

If you are keeping virtually everything in your Home folder on a different volume, then perhaps a better solution is to move the entire Home folder. You can move the entire Home folder to another volume, then direct Leopard to use the Home folder in the new location.
Open Accounts preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate. Click on your account entry then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Advanced Options from the contextual menu. To the right of the field labeled "Home Directory" is a button labeled "Choose." Click on the button, locate your new Home folder, select it and click on the Open button. Now restart the computer. You should now be using the relocated Home folder.
Now, if you would rather not do that then you can move the /Home/Library/Mail/ folder to the other drive. You will then need to create a soft link to this location using the Terminal command "ln -s source target" without quotes. You must first delete the original /Home/Library/Mail/ folder. So your command may look like:
ln -s /Volumes/volname/PathToNew/Mail ~/Library/Mail
The "~" tilde is the Unix shorthand for your user folder.
This should create a new folder in /Home/Library/ named Mail which is a symbolic link to the relocated Mail folder.

How can I move most used mail accounts to appear at the top of the list when I open my mail app?

I have updated iPhone4 to IOS7 and now my mail accounts are in new order. I have several accounts but a few that need to be the most visible. Not sure how iPhone mail app is sorting them but it sorting it but definitely not alphabetically or by most used. Anyway, I finally figured out how to reorder them to suit me and, since help wasn't found on forum, thought I'd share:
Open Mail App, then use "Edit" from top right. You'll see a 3-bar icon to the right of each mail account. Use it to slide accounts up/down to where you want them. Works also for any Gmail accounts you might have.
Sometimes it's the simple things

cor-el, thanks for the tip. While I certainly scoured Adobe's preference settings to look for something relating to that exact thing, I never went to their help site until I got your post. I found out that the floating toolbar appears because the PDF opens in'' Read Mode'', which you can turn off for all future documents by doing this:
* Quit your internet browser
* Launch Acrobat (or Reader)
* Choose Edit>Preferences
* Click on the Internet category on the left
* Deselect “Display in Read Mode by default”
* Click the OK button.
* Relaunch Acrobat
Something important to note, if you have both Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader, you need to do the above in both programs (same steps).

How can I move Snow Leopard mail POP messages on one computer to a Mountain Lion Computer

After seeing my iPad3 up close, my friend bought one so he could read his email while watching TV downstairs. But that's when we discovered his iMac was processor-limited and couldn't accept LION (and the CLOUD)... In an effort to "get a computer on the cloud", he bought a used Lion-capable computer and attempted to use his Time Machine to bring the newer computer up to speed. All's well, except that he can't seem to move several hundred old (but important) messages to the new computer. Appears that the Snow Leopard backup on Time Machine can't do the job. I'm embarrassed that I didn't catch the failure to put iCloud on his computer and am a tad bit frustrated trying to get my arms around the problem... Need some help.

Some things to try:
1. Go to Applications>Utilities>Migration Assistant and try remigrating the User Account with the mail messages from the Time Machine backup.
OR
1. On the old computer, copy the contents of the Mail folder (Library>Mail) for the user to a USB memory stick or similar. On the new computer, select and drag the contents of the Mail folder to the Trash. DO NOT EMPTY THE TRASH!
2. Quit the Mail program on the new computer.
3. Use the files on the memory stick to replace the files you dragged to the Trash in Step 2.
4. Launch the Mail program on the new computer.
5. If the program doesn't work "correctly" or starts doing unexpected things, use the files that are in the Trash to replace the files you copied over in Step 3.

Hello using the settings from my email provider (Virgin Media), I set up my email account on my Mac. The problem arises trying to move the emails from the Inbox to the various mailboxes I set up. All this is occurring within Apple's Mail app, not the Desktop.
Could it be anything to do with the IMAP-enabled synching between my email account on my computer and on Virgin Media's servers where my actions on my computer are not being communicated to the server? I am not an expert and only guessing here! Thanks for pitching in.

How can I move my Verizon e-mail accessed from my iPAD to folders?

How can I move my Verizon e-mail accessed from my iPAD to folders?

If your Verizon account is an IMAP account you can create folders on the iPad via the Edit button when you are in the account. If you see an edit button in the window where your inbox, draft folder, sent folder and trash folder appear in that account - tap on it and an Add Mailbox button will pop up at the bottom of the window. If there is no Edit button there - your account is not an IMAP account and you cannot create folders on the iPad in the mail app.

My iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

my iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can I move mail from Gmail to another account?

Mail.app in Mavericks is incompatible with Gmail. I use Gmail. I have about 2GB of mail, most of it in a few dozen archive folders, stored on Gmail, and (I think) duplicated locally on my Mac Mini.
I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not). Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
In Mail.app in Mavericks, All Mail must be marked to show as a folder, and when I move a message from a folder in Gmail it will still be in the All Mail folder.
When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?

--> mine's working fine. I know there are issues, but it should work

--> yes, it would be nice if they adhered to standards. That said, mine works great. So far.
Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
--> If all you want to do is keep your history, make a local folder on your mac and drag all the mail messages there (both se4nt and incoming). I am not sure what will happen if you later drag those into the new Xmail account
When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?
--> Dont look in "all mail". Open your inbox and look at each individual inbox.
Good luck,. But first, try to fix your account.
