How do I unlock folders for drag/drop messages?

Team:
I have 2 folders in Thunderbird that will not allow me to drag/drop messages into it. I was able to do this up to about a week ago and now I can't drag/drop.
I have restarted in safe mode but it didn't release the folders for drag/drop. I've checked the properties and it doesn't give me any options to 'unlock the folders' for drag/drop or 'copy into' or 'move into' functionality.

Repair only rebuilds the index of the folder. That Thunderbird can not build an index is something of a worry. Normally I would point the finger at corruption. But this time I don't think so.
Best to go back to basics here I think.
Have you rebooted your computer?
Tried windows safe mode with networking?
My guess is something is locking the physical file that contains the folder mail. A reboot my release whatever it is if your not in the practice of regular cold starts.
Either way failing that Windows safe mode with networking should see the file freed up if you start Thunderbird while in safe mode.

    Tap and hold down on an app con until it begins to "wiggle", then drag one app icon on top of another app icon to create the folder. Move as many apps as you like into that folder. When you are done, tap the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
    You can also name the folder whatever you want to in the white text field that will pop up when the folder is created.

  • How do i unlock pictures for my slide show?

    how do i unlock pictures for slideshow? do i have to save them? where?

    Which operating system are you running on?
    Which version of Photoshop Elements are you using?
    If you have made changes to a photo, those changes have to be saved before you can use that photo in a slideshow. Where you save it is really up to you.
    Do you use the organizer and import all your photos into it? Please note that Elements itself does not keep a copy of your photos - you always have control over where the photos are stored. The elements organizer just saves the links to your photos.
    If you have selected a photo in the organizer and then selected edit, the editor will open and you can make your changes. While the photo is open in the editor, it is marked as locked in the organizer. When you have finished editing the photo, save it and the close it in the editor. The lock in the organizer is then released.
    I hope that helps you. If you still have a query, please tell us how you are working and we may be able to provide other advice.

    Only the carrier to which the phone is locked can authorise the unlocking. You will have to talk to them.

  • HT4113 how do i unlock my for gotten password

    how do i unlock my ipod forgot password

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
    Or did you really mean password?
    If you mean a restrictions settings password, this requires a complete recovery of the phone as in the second link.

  • HT4847 how do i create folders for iWork documents?

    How do I create folders to organize iWork documents?

    If you want to create folders in iCloud to organize your documents, it's much easier if you are using OS X Mountain Lion and iWork '09. Just open Pages and you will see the iCloud window. Drag one file to another one to create a folder in iCloud.
    If you aren't using OS X Mountain Lion, open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and choose iWork. Then, if your documents aren't in iCloud, drag them to your Internet browser. If they are there, just drag one file to another one to create a folder in iCloud

  • Smart folders and drag&drop

    Morning.
    Is there a way to create a smart folder and then drag&drop some emails into this smart folder, so that I can find in this folder all emails I've collected in it without that these emails are moved out of their respective original mailbox?
    This would be very usefull to merge emails without a special evident unique attribute but with similarity given by the user.
    Do you know, what I mean?
    TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

    That's understood. Is there any other approach to catch my concern to collect e-mails in one place without move them out of their original place and without to duplicate them?
    no, it has to be a smart folder to do something like that.
    Otherwise I think I'll set a keyword in MailTags and create a smart folder that catches all items including the keyword.
    That's probably your best bet.
    TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

  • How do i unlock iphone for overseas

    How do I unlock my iphone for overseas or to change to tmobile carrier?
    It is a 3G or 3GS model I believe.
    I don't want to void the warranty.
    Thanks!
    Jon

    Depend on the country from which the iphone was purchased.
    The ONLY place that can unlock the iphone legally/legitimately is the carrier to which it is locked and ONLY if they offer that service.
    For example, ALL U.S. iphone are carrier locked and CANNOT be unlocked.

  • How do I make folders for my files in Documents?

    My hard drive died and AppleCare had a new one installed.  Now I can not create folders in Documents.  I need them to keep my recipes, receipts, and documents organized.  How do I create folders in Documents?

    I don't get error messages.  When I pay a bill, or save a recipe, etc. I want to save it to documents, and I want folders in documents to put them in.  Before Yosemite, when I clicked on documents in Finder there was an option to make a new folder, or folders would show up that I had already created.  Not when I hit save as, it goes to documents and doesn't show any of the folders, or give me the option to create a new one.  I have to save it to Documents, open Finder, go to documents, create a folder and drag the file, or if the folder is there I have to drag the file anyway.  This is much more work than it was before I upgraded.  And no, I was not able to get back any old files.  I had to take the computer to an Apple store along with my external hard drive.  They were not able to retrieve any of the data so I am starting from scratch.  Photos and music were in the cloud so that is all retrieved, but I hadn't saved documents to the cloud because I thought they could get them off the external.  Now I save everything to the cloud and to my external.  A lot of time....

  • How to set default value for a drop down in Mobile Application Studio

    Hi,
    We have a requirement in which for a drop down - Transaction type (Activities), the value should be defaulted to 'Visit' and the Activity Category should be 'Sales Visit'. I tried debugging the code and got the piece of code where this value is referred, but i'm unable to find out the location where this value is picked from. Also while opening up the properties corresponding to this, there is a default value tab in the properties pane. I tried by giving this default value, but didn't work. When I'm trying to revert the changes i've made in the property, it is showing up an error.
    Any pointers on this would be of great help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rasmi.

    Hi Rasmi,
    You can default the process type field of BOACTIVITY by different ways-
    1.In BOL, business object BOACTIVITY loaded event, check the parameter bIsNew and then default the value of process type if you want it only for new activities.
    Other attributes currently get defaulted in the attributechanged event of BOACTIVITY where field is processtype.So if processtype is defaulted it will try to default other attributes based on that.It will pick values from the customizing maintained in SPRO->CRM->Transactions->Basic Settings->Define Transaction Type->Customizing Header.
    2.You can also do defaulting in the UI.If you want to default one field based on a value selected for drop down, then write the code in the onselected2 event of the drop down.
    In your specific case, best way is to use option 1.
    Regards
    Vivek

  • How to change the delay for a specific message

    Hi,
    I need to change the delay for an specific message, So how can I consume message by JMSCorrelationID which is enqueued with delay?
    I am using Java and Oracle.JMS classes.
    This a sample code of the deque method
    public BasicAQData dequeue(int insId)
    try
         String usr = dbUtil.getCurrentUser();
         AQjmsStreamMessage stream_message = null;
         int id = 0;
         int priority = 0;
         int destino = 0;
         String selector = null;
         String instanceId = String.valueOf(insId);
         BasicAQData dd = new BasicAQData();
         queue = q_sess.getQueue(usr, queue_name);
         selector = "JMSCorrelationID = '"+instanceId+"'";
         receptor = q_sess.createReceiver(queue, selector);
         stream_message = (AQjmsStreamMessage)receptor.receive(sleeptime);
         if (stream_message == null) return null;
         id = stream_message.readInt();
         priority = stream_message.readInt();
         destino = stream_message.readInt();
         stream_message.clearBody();
         dd.setId(id);
         dd.setPriority(priority);
         dd.setDestino(destino);
    return dd;
    It returns the desired message if that is available; however it returns null if the message was enqueued with delay and isn4t still available.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Glenn,
    Messages enqueued with a delay can be dequeued by specifying message id. In your example,
    you can dequeue the message with message_id, change the delay and enqueue the message again.
    Thanks,
    Brajesh.
