How to import Account settings to TB?

In the process of migrating from XP to Win 8, I have rediscovered a very old (ex dial up, payg) mailbox account which I want to start using again but have forgotten the password. The account is already set up in Outlook backup files and has the (encrypted) password.
The ISP (TalkTalk) cannot help with the password because it is an old dialup account with Tiscali and they do not have the records.
TB is already set up and configured for the current mail accounts.
Is there a way to import the .iaf into TB to add to the existing account?
If I set up a new (empty) profile and managed to import the settings from Outlook, can the profiles be merged?
Can Account settings be exported from TB for importing to the new profile?
Thanks in advance

Thunderbird doesn't recognize .iaf files to my knowledge.
Assuming you're using Outlook Express you can use the following link to import your data from OE
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_from_Outlook_Express
If that doesn't work, then I'm afraid you can't transfer your settings over.
I would probably let someone else answer, who knows more about Thunderbird than I do.

How to export Account settings and mailboxes

I am migrating to a new computer.
Now I need to trasfer some of the Mail.app data from the old mac, including:
--the mail account settings
--For POP3 accounts, i need to transfer the msgs for those inboxes because the received mails do not have a copy on the servers.
--the Sent box in Mail.app. It seems this is a "global" container for all outgoing msgs, regardless IMAP or POP3 accounts. And I assume all the msgs therein are stored locally.
These are everything I need to transfer. And not with other user data. So i guess the Migration Assistant wont help.
Email clients normally have Export/Import functions but i cant find them with Mail.app.
So how should I do the transfer as specified above? Thanks folks.

If you don't want to use Migration Assistant, you could just copy the files to an external HD and then copy them into the exact same locations on the new machine. You can find the emails here:
Users -> Library -> Mail -> there are several folders you want to copy: Mailboxes, all POP-yourname (if more than one).
As for account settings: what I've done is simply take a screenshot of every window in accounts, named it, and then have a copy to look at if I need to set it up again.
Address Book: If you will highlight one entry, then "select all", and then choose export under file menu, you can export the entire Address book and import the entries into the new one.

How to transfer accounts settings

I'd like to transfer my accounts settings from one Mac to another. I can't seem to find a way to do this. Any help?
G4 Cube Mac OS X (10.4.9)

All account information and general Mail.app settings are stored in the application's preference file located at Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist.
With the Mail.app quit on the Mac this is to be transferred from, copy the com.apple.mail.plist file and with the Mail.app quit on the transferred to Mac, place the preference file in the same location at Home > Library > Preferences. If there is an existing Mail.app preference file in this location, this will replace it.
There will be an existing preference file on the transferred to Mac if the application has been launched.

How to import service settings from Mac Srvr 10.7 to Mac Srvr 10.10??

I can export server settings on a Mac server 10.7. So how to I import them on Mac server 10.10?? No import option? Hello

You can use the serveradmin command line tool. For example, if on 10.7 you are looking to export your DNS settings, you would use:
sudo serveradmin settings dns > ~/dns.settings
Then move the file to the new server and reverse the process using:
sudo serveradmin settings dns < ~/dns.settings
( The ~/ will create a file at the root your home folder) This process will work for most of the services (use sudo serveradmin list to see all services). Please note that this process does not move data. It only will move configuration information.
If moving Open Directory, you will likely want to create an OD archive or export the users and groups as flat files. Please note that flat files will not include passwords.

How to import DSIA STIG baselines/templates into SCM?

Hello,
I have been playing with both Security Compliance Manager as well as System Center ConfigMgr Extensions for SCAP tools to determine how I can import DISA STIG Inf files.
My end goal is to be able to use SCCM DCM to check/manage compliance for some of these pre-defined security standards such as DISA STIGs.
I read in an earlier post that MSFT is currently looking into allowing INF imports into SCM. Is there any idea on when this might be available or IS there another approach I can take?
Thank you,
Manoj

Jason/ Experts,
I see you marked this as answer. I am trying to use Windows 2008 R2 STIG -Version 1, Release 12
from http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/os/windows/Pages/2008r2.aspx. On extracting the file u_windows_2008_r2_v1r12_stig,
I get the folders and files as below:
I extract the U_Active_Directory_Domain_v2r4_Manual_STIG and see the files as DoD-DISA-logos-as-JPEG(jpeg), STIG_unclass (XSL) and U_Active_Directory_Domain_v2r4_STIG_Manual-xccdf (XML)
I am using Microsoft Security Compliance Manager (3.0.xx) to import the GPO. The DC folder has no .inf files that Microsoft claims to be load to SCM (from v2 onwards). However there is a templates folder, Templates - 2008 R2 that has setup files
as seen below. These cannot be loaded to SCM with the Import GPO function.
Now I am not sure how this is marked an answer and I can't find a solutions from Microsoft on how to import the settings to load the DISA STIGS into a Group Policy. If the solution is to MANUALLY enter the policies and export into a GPO Pack and
Import, it is time consuming though it can be done and will take considerable amount of time. I can't see Microsoft providing that as a solution. So how could I get this? Is there a tool to do this?
I will appreciate a solution/ suggestion/ advice that will enable us to load the DISA STIGS to group policy that can be applied to AD DC.
Thanks
TIA TP

Importing Outlook 2010 Mail account settings from one copy of Office 2010, to another copy of Office 2919

I am trying to export my E-mail ACCOUNT settings from one copy of Outlook 2010 so that I can import them in another copy of Office 2010 on a different computer. Again, BOTH computers have Office 2010 on them. While I can move the PST file, my
E-mail account information never comes across. How can I do that without having to enter each account separately. Also is it normal for the E-mail accounts to show up as DATA FILES rathan than E-MAIL FILES? I've never come this in the past.
Thanks.

As JHarris1993 said, this is BOSS! Thank you.
I used this solution to recreate a profile I was using under one Windows 7 account in another account on the same machine. The profile was successfully recreated but I noticed that the email accounts in the profile were still pointing to the data files from
the other account, which is not surprising at all.
Unfortunately no easy way exists for re-pointing email accounts to alternate file locations. I have five different email accounts in this profile (2 IMAP, 2 Outlook Hotmail Connector and one Exchange), and looks like there are solutions and workaround for
each type of account which work with varying degrees of success.
Changing location of pst data file for
IMAP email account
Changing
location of ost data file for an Exchange email account
Changing location of ost data file for a Hotmail Connector email account
Thanks Again,
Jaspreet

My account settings deleted & cannot get mail, how to reset?

My Account settings were deleted apparently when a key was touched by mistake. The Server
settings are gone. All I have left are the Outgoing Server (which is same as the Incoming
server, which is no longer there) and Junk Settings and Disk Space. Local Folders, etc. are
gone. I cannot receive any mail and I do no know how to get these folders back. This is a
new PC, with Windows 7 Pro and was set up by a computer tech, who is very expensive, so I
would like to be able to fix myself. I use this for home based Acct-Tax business. Any help
is very appreciated.

Did anything else happen at the time, such as an update to a later version of Thunderbird?
It really isn't possible to do this amount of damage with a wayward keystroke, so I think something else is to blame, not you or whoever it was that touched a key.
If your computer is essential to your business then you really need a back up regime to guard against accidents in general and hardware failures in particular. But I'm thinking this isn't something you have in place? If you have a backup then you can restore from that.
