How do I restore a deleted e-mail account

I kept getting a message that there was a password authentication error, and could not poll for e-mail on one account. I tried resetting the password, no help. So I deleted the account and re-entered it (now it works), but lost all of the e-mails and file folders in Thunderbird. How do I restore those folders and e-mails? System restore did not help.

Worked for this technological troglodyte. Thanks for the fast response. It was my wife's computer--doubtful I will ever learn!

  • How do you restore accidentally deleted e-mail from a back-up?

    I accidentally deleted some important e-mails.  I have an external hard drive with backups, but I'm not sure how to go about it nor where they go.  I'm using Entourage on a desktop Mac with OS 6.8.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    If the mail account is a IMAP or Exchange account that is how it works. Those accounts synchronize mail on all devices.
    If the mail account is a POP3 account the go to Settings>Mail>the mail account>Advanced>Deleted Messages>Remove and set to never.

    Sorry, Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • How can I restore my icloud e-mail address?

    How can I restore my iCloud e-mail address?

    You can't change and iCloud email account address once created.  You can either create a new iCloud account, or add an @icloud.com email alias address to the existing account, which will receive email in your existing iCloud inbox (more details here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.
    If you would rather create a new account and keep your data, start by saving any photo stream photos on your phone that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  When you turn Mail on you will be asked to create your new iCloud email address.  Type carefully as it cannot be changed later.

    If you have lost a folder, it is either misplaced (try searching for it) or you have deleted it somehow. If it has been deleted, your best option is to restore it from backups.
    If you don't have backups, you may be about to learn the hard way why backups are important. You can try to use some file recovery software, but you should not expect to get everything back in exactly the same condition it was in before. See:

    Your redemption code was used to acquire an activation code.  The activation code is what you need to use when you want to reinstall/enable the software again.  Check your Adobe account online to see if the number(s) can be found there.

  • How do I restore a deleted iPhone calendar from my iCloud backup?

    How do I restore a deleted iPhone calendar from my iCloud backup?

    You can only restore the complete iPhone from a backup; you cannot restore selectively.
    To restore an iCloud backup  first go to settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone, then connect the phone to a power source and within range of an WiFi connection, go to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. When the reset completes you will be given the option to restore a backup.

  • How I can restore my deleted messages

    How I can restore my deleted messages and if I want to save some messages where I may save them because there is no option on icloud

    First, setup a different ID for your wife so you can maintain independent contacts, messages, icloud backups, etc.   There is no cost, and it will keep you from having another disappearing contact issue again.
    You can't retrieve contacts that have been deleted.   The addresses you see are cached and can simply be added back as new contacts once you each have your own independent ID set up on each phone.
    You can however use 1 Apple ID for your iTunes and App Store purchases so you don't need to pay twice for the same apps.

  • How can i restore the deleted accidently bookmarks ? is there trash or bin for deleted bookmarks , like opera browser ?

    how can i restore the deleted accidentally bookmarks ? is there trash or bin for deleted bookmarks , like opera browser ?

    If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.
    The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).
    That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.
    Otherwise you need to restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup.
    That will replace all the current bookmarks and you lose bookmarks that were added since that backup was created.
