How do I transfer my e-mail account to another computer

My wife and I both have separate e-mail accounts on Thunderbird, which are on her laptop. I wish to transfer only my account to a new desktop computer I recently bought, and remove it from her laptop so I won't have to delete e-mails from both computers. I want to transfer existing inbox e-mails and archived items. Of course I want no changes to her account. Thank you so much.

Hi JonathanRN, Thunderbird is only an email client and depending on if the email is a POP3 or IMAP will determine if the server has a mirror image of the mail folders as they do on the first computer.
So, technically, if you set up the email on the new computer successfully and download all the messages. You can check out if the mail has the same folders. However filters are stored in the profile as are some local folders.
But in that first article there is a third party app called [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ Mozbackup] that will help you back up the profile to a folder then move it to the new installation on the new computer.
I hope this helps.

  • I want to transfer my entire itunes account to another computer. how can i get all of the music i put on my computer on a new computer?

    So my family had a computer that kept all of the songs and videos on it for itunes. how can i transfer all of that data to another computer and put that new computer as our home computer for the home itunes computer? please help me. i have been trying to figure this out for 2 months now.

    open itunes on the new computer and go to the itunes store
    make sure you are signed in with the apple id of whoever purchased all of music from the itunes store
    on the right hand side of the itunes store home page, under quick links click 'purchased'
    you will be able to download anything you have previously purchased for free
    let me know if that works for you.

    How can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer without connecting the two

    As Kappy said, download it from the App Store - this will give you a brand new copy. However unlikely, it's just possible you might be copying a corrupt version from the original computer.
    In the App Store, make certain you use the same Apple ID that the App was purchased with.

  • How can i transfer apps from one account to another.?

    now i had bought apps with my old account. but when i sync them into my phone i cant update them using my account, i need the old itunes i had. How can i transfer all bought apps onto my new account?

    You can't.
    All 3rd party apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the apps. DRM cannot be transferred from one account to another.
    Why did you get a new iTunes account? Changing your email address alone does not require doing so.

  • How do I transfer files from one account to another?

    I did a PC to Mac migration and that was transferred successfully. Now, though, I want to transfer the files brought over from my PC (that are now on another account on my Mac) to my main account. I searched for a solution and found that I should be able to do it through my shared folder, but my other account is not showing up in my shared folder so I'm not sure how to go about this. Thanks

    Any account should have access to the Shared folder:
    It's outside of any user's home directory and should be accessible from any account. If you're having problems, call back...

  • How can I transfer JUST ONE IWeb site to another computer?

    I am new to making IWeb sites and am now making them for
    other people. I have about 10 sites in my IWeb folder and need to
    be able to give a person's site to them.
    I need to be able to transfer JUST ONE site to another computer.
    Right now, I am only able to transfer ALL the sites I have made to
    another mac and then, it wipes out all their sites! How can I prevent
    the ultimate wipe out of all their iweb sites yet give them JUST ONE
    of mine?
    thank you in advance,
    Beth http://www.yourzensite.com

    First, read Wyodor's post about changing the publishing settings HERE.
    You can create the extra folders in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb or, as I do, in a folder named iWeb in the Home folder.
    Create a folder for each website, give it a suitable name and paste the Domain.sites2 file with all the websites into each.
    Open each one in turn, double click the Domain.sites2 file to launch it in iWeb, delete all the sites except the one whose name is the same as the folder name, save and quit.
    Now you can launch any site individually in iWeb and sent a copy of the appropriate folder to the client.

  • How do I transfer a Keynote '08 presentation to another computer?

    I want to work on the presentation on another computer, but the presentation has a several assets that I used to create it. I want to make sure everything gets included, how do I do this?
    Thank you in advance to reading and replying to my post,
    Sebastian

    You didn't specify what you mean by "assets". If you mean audio and video, these just need to be saved with the presentation, a feature which is set in PREFERENCES > GENERAL, "Copy audio and movies into document" (unlike PPT, where you save as a "package"). Of course, the computer you run it on (a Mac, of course), needs to have whatever ancillary apps might be required to create/display/run such "assets", so you'd be wise to either check beforehand, or take these apps with you to install when you move over.

  • How do i transfer funds from one account to another in the same table?

    Say for example i want to transfer funds from UserID 1111101 to UserID  1111103.
    Anyone know the procedure for this. I use php/mysql and dreamweaver.

    Here's a very basic method. Note that this is just pseudocode - you'll need to work out the actual code (I assume you've learned how in your course studies). Keep in mind this is a very simplified workflow - a real bank transaction would be MUCH more complex.
    Create a form that has fields for debit account, credit account, amount
    In your script, assign the values from the form to local variables
    $debit_acct
    $credit_acct
    $amount
    I'll assume you have an account balance table 'acct_bal'. Have a journal table to store those values along with the date and autonumber transaction id.
    Begin Trans
    INSERT into journal (credit_acct, debit_acct, amount, trans_date) VALUES ($credit_acct, $debit_acct, $amount, NOW())
    Get the transaction_id ($trans_id) from the INSERT statement- the method depends on which MySQL interface you are using.
    UPDATE acct_bal SET balance = (balance + $amount) WHERE acct_id = $debit_acct
    UPDATE acct_bal SET balance = (balance - $amount) WHERE acct_id = $credit_acct
    Rollback on any SQL error else Commit Trans.
