How to import non-IMAP Windows 8 emails into Thunderbird

I've upgraded my daughter's tablet from the awful "resident" Windows 8 mail program to Thunderbird and would like to import her old .eml email files into her TB inbox.
I've seen threads instructing how to do this if the old emails are stored on an IMAP account (gmail, yahoo, etc.). But we don't have an IMAP account. Just the .eml files from our POP3 provider in the weird locations where Windows 8 put them (long path names with numbers).
If anyone knows how to make Thunderbird import these, please respond. Thank you.

There is an add-on to TB which allows import and export of emails in various formats to a separate storage medium (external disk, thumb drive, etc.).
The instructions on how to download and install it can be found at http://barryduggan.info/exportMail.php
You should be able to import the .eml with that.

Simple question .... how to add photos to the body of my EMAILS -Found 1000 results for How do I add photos to my emails for Thunderbird

Simple question - How do I add photos to the body of my emails . But instead of the answer - Found 1000 results for How do I add photos to my emails for Thunderbird. There are answers that don't apply at all to the question in anyway. Why does it have to be so hard to get a simple answer to a simple question?
Thunderbird is acting much like Microsoft, the every reason I dumping MS Live Mail.

First of all, much help for Thunderbird refers to menus which may not be visible. It would help you and us if you have your menus and toolbars visible.
http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/13_Menus_in_Thunderbird.html
So, open a write window. Enable its menu and toolbar(s).
Now do you see an "Insert" option?
If not, you may be set to compose in plain text, which does not support embedded images.
'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select account}|Composition & Addressing''' and ensure "Compose messages in HTML format" is ticked. If it wasn't already ticked, go back to composing a message. Any better now?
Once you have HTML composition mode going, you can use '''Insert|Image''' or various permutations of copy-and-paste and drag-and-drop into your message body.

How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

You can't. You can import from the Camera Roll only.
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process should remain on your computer. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. These photos should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.
There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
Here is one such utility.

How to migrate or transfer Windows Live email to OS X Yosemite, using Postbox

I just got an iMac and it didn't migrate my emails from my Windows PC; only some of them. I gave up on getting them into Apple Mail, but had Postbox (just Google it to find the download site) on my PC for another email account, so I was able to get Postbox on the Mac to accept emails from Postbox on Windows, which means you'll be using Postbox as your email client on your Mac. Here's what finally worked, after LOTS of trial and error, which I hope you won't have to repeat:
1. On the Windows 7 PC (? works with XP or Windows 8), rom Windows Live Mail (this was 2011 version), click on the blue square in the upper left corner and select Export email, and then select Email messages.
2. Choose Windows Live Mail for the program, then click Next.
3. Enter the name of folder where you want to export them to and click OK. I suggest making a New Folder (empty) on Desktop, and name it something to describe the group of email folders you want to transfer. I have a few groups of email master folders with subfolders, and so did this for each master folder. If you have only one master folder that contains all your email folders, then you'll only have to do this once. Then click Next.
4. In the next window that appears, select all the email folders within the master folder you want to transfer, then click Next.
5. When it finishes exporting, it will say so, and then click Finish. This can take many minutes or maybe an hour, depending on how many emails you are transferring.
6. Open Postbox on the Windows PC (free download for 30-day trial, and only $10 for license, so well worth it), and near the top on the left, highlight “Local Folders.” Then from the File menu select New and then Subfolder to create an email master folder in Local Folder section of Postbox. Select that folder so it's highlighted.
7. Select Tools in Postbox, then "Import all messages from a directory," then "also from its subdirectories." Then click on the master folder you created that contains all the email folders you just exported from Windows Live Mail. You'll see that there is a subfolder named something (mine says "Live ([name]), and another subfolder within that that is the name of the master folder that just received your export. Select this subfolder and click OK. (Within that are the subfolders corresponding to your Windows Live email folders.)
8. Within Postbox, right-click on the email master folder you created in step 6, then select Properties, and put your cursor inside the Location box. You'll probably have to scroll to the right as it will be a long path. (Mine is Users/[name]/AppData/Roaming/Postbox/Profiles/[long series of random letters and numbers]/Mail/Local Folders/[master email folder name]).
9. Open Windows Explorer and go to the folder in the Location box, and it will have an “sbd” extension in the folder name. Open that folder, select all the files in it and copy (ctrl-C) them.
10. Put an SD card or USB drive in your PC (formatted with exFAT, so the Mac can read it), and create a new folder with the same name as the master email folder. Paste all the copied files into that folder.
11. Eject the SD/USB and insert into your Mac.
12. Open Postbox on the Mac (free download, again).
13. If you’ve set up an email account in Postbox, select & highlight that account on the top left, otherwise select Local Folders. Maybe better to just select Local Folders as to not get into conflicts with your email account, especially if it’s IMAP, but I had problems with POP account, too.
14. From the File menu, select New and then Subfolder, and create a Subfolder with the name of your email master folder.
15. Highlight your new email master folder and repeat step 14 to create a new subfolder named “test” or something like that, which you’ll later delete. Then QUIT POSTBOX.
16. Repeat step 8 with your master email folder to find the location of this folder on your Mac, then open Finder and open that folder. There should be a subfolder there named “test”, which confirms that you’re in the right place.
17. Open another Finder window and select the SD/USB drive and the folder in it with your Windows email folders inside it. Highlight and copy (command-C) all the files within that folder, which will be named something like your Windows Live email folders, but maybe with random letters and numbers at the end.
18. Paste all those files into the master email folder in first Finder window. (This is the actual step of moving all your emails from your Windows PC to your Mac.)
19. Reopen Postbox, and you should see all your email folders (possibly with the random endings to their names) within the email master folder you created. If there are a lot of them, it may take Postbox a while to index them all.
20. To confirm that all your emails transferred, go back to Windows Live Mail on your Windows PC and right click all the email folders you just transferred, and click on Properties, where it will tell you how many messages are in that folder. Write down the number of messages for each folder you transferred.
21. On your Mac, select each folder, then highlight all the messages in each folder (select the first, the press Shift and select the last message). Then right-click on the highlighted messages and then click on Mark and then “Mark all as unread.” Then a number will appear to the right of the folder telling you the number of unread emails, which should equal the numbers you got from Windows Live email folder properties.
22. If the numbers aren’t equal, then I’m sorry, and it’s time to try it again or do some trial and error.
I tried many different approaches before arriving at this one, which consistently worked for me over and over. I hope it saves you all the trial and error time it took me. This is long and complicated, but not as long as trying a bunch of long and complicated methods that didn’t work. Now you can use Postbox as your email client on your Mac. Maybe there's a way to transfer them into Apple Mail, but Postbox is fine for me.

PS: The Mac folder where Postbox stores it's messages is inside the Library folder inside your User folder. Normally, the Library folder is invisible. To make it visible in Finder, I did what it said here:

How to import old iPhone SMS.CSV file into new iPhone?

Hey everyone,
So I've spent a couple days on this as I just upgraded to the iPhone5S from my 4S. Long story short, my backup restore didn't work after multiple tries (gave me the file is corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone error).
I tried:
-reinstalling itunes
-updating itunes
-combining the 5S backup with the old 4S backup
-tinyumbrella
and a few of other things as I've forgot now.
The most important things I needed was the contact list and SMS history. I've got the contact list from extracting is successfully from the iTunes backup folder and using iCloud, but cannot figure out how to import the SMS.CSV file into my iPhone5S.
Any suggestions on how I can get my SMS messages from my iPhone4s into my 5S?
If anyone has any other suggestions on getting my Backup Restore to work that would be awesome too!
Thanks!

A word on SMS text messages. It is pracitcally impossible to import an SMS text-messages file to a new iPhone and have the Messages app on the new device read the messages.
You can transfer, however contacts and other individual data (such as calendars and notes) from one iphone to the next. I had my old Nokia which whose contacts I exported to a CSV file. I then imported the file to my iphone which converted the file into multiple contacts in the Contacts app on the iphone. You can use a contact management app such as this one in order to import the contact file to the new iPhone.

Integrate GRC 10.1 with CUA and how to import roles from CUA & Child systems into GRC for provisioning

Hello,
I am trying to integrate CUA into our GRC 10.1 system through the below steps and so far I have completed the below steps following SAP Notes 1680108 and 1616121:
1. Connected CUABOX to GRCBOX like a plug-in system.
2. Updated CUA Global System and CUA Model Distribution in Maintain CUA settings under User Provisioning.
3. Next I am trying to import the roles from CUA(CUABOX) into GRC(GRCBOX) to be able to provision roles in CUA Child Systems(ECCBOX).
After reading few discussions in SCN, I have figured that we have to download a template in Role Import and populate it accordingly to upload the CUA child system roles into GRC system for provisioning in CUA Child Systems.
Unfortunately, this template has multiple fields and I am unable to determine the fields that should be populated as CUA Global System and CUA Child System to import into GRC. Also, when we upload CUA Child System Roles template what selections should be made in Role Import window.
Any help in this regard is very helpful.
Thank you,
Pawan

Hi Alessandro,
I have "Create user if does not exist" setting checked for both change action and assign role action and also have CUA enabled. Here is the list of steps that I am performing:
1. Create an access request for new account, T-CUA_CHILD and select a role from a child system ECC Z_ECC_ROLE_IN_CHILD_SYSTEM.
2. Approvals provided to assign the ECC role.
3. I see the following in GRFNMW_DBGMONITOR_WD.
           Auto provisioning activity at end of request at Path GRAC_DEFAULT_PATH and Stage              GRAC_SECURITY
               New User:T-CUA_CHILD created in System(s): ECC (created without role assignments)
               T-CUA_CHILD User does not exist in target system CUA
GRC created an account without role assignment in ECC but also throwed me an error that the user does not exist in CUA.
However, if I select roles from both CUA and ECC it creates the account in both systems with the selected role assignments.
So I am wondering if there is way to provide CUA access to users by default for new account requests types. I have tried setting up default roles for CUA but it does not assign the roles by default until I select the CUA system.
Thank you for your help!

Problem with import files from windows media player into iTunes

When I have tried to import my .wav lossless files created under windows media player into iTunes I use File, add folder to library but when the action is completed I get all of the files under the heading 'unknown album' with 'unknown artist'.
Does anyone know that I need to do in order to include the artist and album ?
Many thanks,
John.

You'll first need to add the MP3s to your iTunes library since the iPod is not compatible with Windows Media Player. You can use, for example, the File > Add to Library menu to do this.

How can Import Mysql my database and Table into website -

Hi,
friend i am using CS3 ,i made all need tables in database ,I need to know
how can import that database /table into website.
I know in domin there is admin Mysql inside i have found impotr/export/ but
when I click import i do not know where my database/table been save to import it

If all you are trying to do is change an existing tablepace from a single datafile to multiple datafiles, then a simple import will work fine. Just create the tablespace in the new database with multiple files, then do the import normally.
If you want to move segments into different tablespaces, or change the names of the tablespaces, then you will need to precreate the tables before importing. Then, do the export with indexes=N and constraints=N. Run import with the resulting file, then re-create the constraints and indexes in the new tablespaces.

How to import the .exp/XPDL/XSDL file into ALBPM Studio 5.7

Hi,
Can somebody tell how to import the .exp file that are developed in ALBPM Studio 6.0/Oracle BPM 10g r3 into ALBPM 5.7. I have tried but can not able to import the project as the file suported by ALBPM 5.7 is <.fpr.exp>. I have also tried to import the XPDL/XSDL file developed in 6.0 to 5.7 but can not able to do so. It is importing the file but the only the automatic activities are showing in workspace (All the other activities like Interactive, Grab etc are not displayed). The code inside that automatic activities are also not there.
How to import the file/files in ALBPM 5.7
Regards,
Bibhu

Hi Bibhu,
I expect importing a project to an older version of BPM isn't going to work or be supported.
Most products are built to be backwards compatabile, not forwards compatible.
I recommend you go to one version of the product anyway - trying to maintain two adds to your maintenance and support overheads.
In which case migrating your processes from 5.7 to 6.0 (or even 10g) would be supportable and the best way to go.

How to import a 2010 list or library into 2013

Hi,
Does someone have a good guideline or idea on how to import an exported 2010 list or library into Sharepoint 2013?
thanks for any help
regards
Martin

Though a little hands-on it is actually possible to do that without third party solutions! (with limitations)
On 2010 go into the list settings
Choose save list as template
Give it a name and check "Include content"
Download the .stp file from the list template gallery
Upload it to the list template gallery on your SharePoint 2010/2013 site
Create a list from it, the template should appear in the available templates when choosing the right locale
Voilá :-)
This also works from 2007 to 2010/2013 though it is a little trickier...
On 2007 go into the list settings
Choose save list as template
Give it a name and check "Include content"
Download the .stp file from the list template gallery
Rename it to .cab
Extract it
Open the manifest.xml
Change
<ProductVersion>3</ProductVersion>
to
<ProductVersion>4</ProductVersion>
Save
Pack everything with makecab.exe to a cab file (I'll come to that later)
Rename .cab to .stp
Upload it to the list template gallery on your SharePoint 2010/2013 site
Create a list from it, the template should appear in the available templates when choosing the right locale
So, now to the problems:
This does only work for lists/libraries with content less than 10MB :-(
This is a limitation of SharePoint and you cannot get arround that.
So that might most likely limit the approach to your task list.
Creating a CAB file is not really straigthforward. You need to create an inf file which describes the data which will be stored. See also here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3h8ff753(v=vs.80).aspx
In some cases the template does not show up in the dialogs, then you can only create the list through PowerShell, i.e. like that
# important, upload the .stp file first to the list template gallery of the site of the web where the list should be created
$webUrl = "http://<yourweburl>" # web in which you want to create the list based on the custom template
$listTemplateName = "<yourlisttemplatename>" # the name with which you saved the list into the list template gallery
asnp Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$listTemplate = $web.Site.GetCustomListTemplates($web)[$listTemplateName]
$Web.Lists.Add("ListName", "", $listTemplate);
4. Lookup columns are referenced with the list instance guid. As a result you would require to create the lookup lists first, then update the guid in the manifest.xml and then create the other list
5. Manage Metadata columns won't work unless you migrated the data base too from 2010 to 2013 and the guids of the terms remain.
Some time ago I wrote a PowerShell script which takes care all the above for you (including lookup columns), but this was still from 2007 to 2010.
I need to test it first on 2013 before I am going to post it here.

How to import iphoto events from remote library into local library

I know how to access my MBA's iphoto library from my imac, however I don't know how to import any event/photo into my local imac's library. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Once that opens by default with iphoto, then... went to Finder again, Pictures, right click on iphoto library (local Imac library) and select "open with" = Aperture.
There I had my MBA's library opened on iphoto and my local Imac library opened on Aperture. I simply dragged the events from iphoto to Aperture. Worked like a charm..
PS: It is obvious to say that for this to work, both Imac and MBA have to be Shared in the same network
That works, but there is a better way with Aperture. The problem. If you drag the photos from Aperture to iPhoto, you only transfer the previews and you lose quality, because you do not transfer the high quality originals.
Aperture can do more for you:
Select the event (in Aperture "Projects") you want to transfer in the library Inspector and then use "File > Export > Project as new Library". This will create a new photo library with only the elected items.
Then open your destination iPhoto library in Aperture and select the command "File > Import > Library" and select the partial library with your events. Aperture will now merge this library into your iPhoto library.
This way, you will transfer the originals and all editing, keywords, etc, and effectively merge your iPhoto libraries preserving all your work.
