How to install thunderbird without Eudora migrations

I have used Eudora since the mid 90s and now wish to switch to Thunderbird. I downloaded TB and installed it, including the option for importing mailboxes (and settings?) from Eudora 7. I'm using Windows 7. It worked perfectly, although it took quite a while to import the Eudora stuff. I then decided the Eudora stuff "cluttered" everything, when learning how to use TB, so I decided to uninstall TB, and reinstall it WITHOUT the Eudora migration option. This time, although the TB install again worked fine... all the Eudora imports arrived on TB again, even though I was given no chance/window to ask for or decline them this time. Please, how can I install TB without the Eudora imports, preferably WITHOUT uninstalling Eudora, as I at least want to keep it to refer to my many 100s of messages there.
Then, one day, I may choose to eventually import the Eudora stuff, but not until I become competent in TB. By the way, TB still imports Eudora stuff when installed, without asking, even when Eudora is "hidden" by PC-Magic Hidden Folders. Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you,
Charles

Thunderbird maintains a profile folder in the appdata folder on windows. You can uninstall reinstall and do just about anything you like, but the profile is unaffected by install and uninstall.
Close Thunderbird.
Type at the start menu search box %appdata% and press enter
the thunderbird folder shown in windows explorer will contain the profile and setting file that points to the location of the profile. Delete that folder and your good to go.
Start Thunderbird and it will be like a fresh install.

    How to install Xp without the DVD? Is there anyway to get the drivers that are to be installed from the dvd after installing Xp?
    I really need to use Autocad and Rhino on my Macpro, so Parallels or VMware fusion is not an option. I am already using VMware fusion on my Macbook pro, but VMware will not use 4g RAM of my Macpro which means it would be hard to run Rhino.
    By the way, I am planning to buy Windows (I am sooooo ashamed to install that self-messed up OS on my Macpro. but so what,,, Autocad and Rhino do not run on Mac, and I need specifically the two programs). XP with sp2, sp3, or vista. which one is the best option?
    Since my Macpro has only One 2.8GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon, there is no need to buy XP professional? (XP home doesn't support multi-processors, and XP Pro does, I guess?)

    VMware Fusion uses only 512 RAM maximum, doesn't it? But you said it will use my entire 4GB RAM but only 2 cores. That's something different from what I've known.
    If fusion really uses 4gm RAM of my mac pro, I don't really have to use Boot Camp. But most people who need to run heavy programs in Windows choose Boot Camp because it's the only way to use a Mac just like a PC, meaning that the XP uses the entire RAM memory.
    XP will only use 2 GB of RAM, no matter how much the system has.
    I just found out that Rhino doesn't really work on Vista. So vista is ruled out.
    Only Vista 64-bit recognizes all system RAM.

  • How to install Thunderbird and Lightning Extension to StarOffice 9

    I just purchased StarOffice 9, read the entire documentation, including the "Getting Started" PDF file. Looked all over Sun.com and nowhere can I find how to install the Thunderbird and Lightning extensions touted as being available for StarOffice 9. Thanks for any help.
    LarryMcJ

    Hi Larry,
    Thunderbird and the extension Lightning are two independant parts, and with StarOffice 9 deluxe available.
    If u have StarOffice 9 u should download -free- the email and calendar client from
    the Mozilla Thunderbird page and Mozilla Lightning page
    after downloaded Lightning 0.9 !!
    open thunderbird -->options --> addons chose the file downloaded, click ok, and install
    Now u can manage tasks and so on in your thunderbird, but independant of StarOffice apps !!

  • How to install Quicktime WITHOUT iTunes?

    It seems that there isn't a Quicktime installation kit, just an "iTunes with Quicktime" kit. That can't be right. I don't want to install Apple bloatware that I'm never going to use and would just uninstall right away just to get a simple video player.
    Seriously, iTunes includes DRM (Digital Restrictions Software) of the sort that you often can never get off of your system without crippling it in some way.
    All I want to do is watch movie previews. I shouldn't have to install 35 MB of software (compressed) just to watch movie previews.
    So please, tell me how to install just Quicktime, or tell me about a Quicktime 7 compatible media player I can use as an alternative.
    Tony
    P.S. Why are so many movie previews available only in Quicktime format? Does Apple pay the studios to get a monopoly in this area or what? You can usually can get around this by going to Canadian sites, for example the US site for Imagine Me and You has only a Quicktime format preview, but you can go to a Canadian site, http://www.icinema.ca/movie.php?movieID=51628, and they have the preview in Windows Media and Real formats ONLY (Quicktime isn’t even available). But that's an inconvenience. Why can’t we get to choose our media format in the US?
    Alienware something-or-other   Windows XP  

    Thanks for the link. That's exactly what I was looking for.
    I went back to the "Quicktime Download" tab and I still can't see a link to the /standalone page. It must be hidden somewhere, but Real does the same sort of bait-and-switch thing, except they are trying to trick you into paying for their product, which is even worse.
    Also I apologize for the attitude. Just kind of frustrated, having spent too much time trying to solve this very minor problem.

  • How to install itunes without cd/dvd rom support?

    Hi,
    Everybody knows when you install iTunes to any windows device, you will have a problem with your dvdrw afterwards. Till day, every installation i made end up with losing my dvd-rom.
    There is 3 solution to this problem, but those solutions never worked for me and last time i used my company notebook without it's dvdrom for over a year.
    Now, i reinstall my notebook with Windows 8.1 Update 1 and i want to install iTunes for my music but i can' let iTunes do the same thing again.
    Is there anyway install iTunes without cd-dvd 3rd party/usb/firmware driver support?
    I search on net and i found this link but it's way too old
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44491?viewlocale=en_US

    QuickTime is required for iTunes to run. You can think of iTunes as a media manager "front end" to QuickTime which handles the actual playing of the media.
    Safari was an optional install when I installed iTunes on my Windows system. I wasn't forced to install Safari. MobileMe is also no longer automatically installed, though it will update if it finds an existing installation. I didn't get it forced on me when I installed on my Vista system.

  • How to install Aperture without original dvd

    I lost my Aperture 2 installation and Aperture 3 upgrade disks. How to install Aperture in my new Macbook ?

    Do you still have the Aperture 2 and Aperture 3 registration codes? Then you can download the Trial installer and use that to install Aperture on your new Macbook.
    You can download the Aperture 3 trial installer to reinstall Aperture from this webpage - there is a link to the trial and instructions on how to reinstall - don't let the title of this page distract you :
    Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
    The Aperture 3 serial number will be available in the about panel, when you are running Aperture on your old mac (from the main menu bar: Aperture > About Aperture).

  • How can I install Thunderbird without a "Special Account" being created

    A new installation of Thunderbird is creating a "Special Account", the name of which I need to use for another account. I cannot change the name of the "Special Account" and the new account must use that name but TB will not accept two accounts with the same name. I have read an explanation of the special account and I do not need it or want it. I need to know how to prevent the creation of the special account. Is there some part of an earlier installation buried in the Registry or elsewhere which I need to delete? I have installed TB on other computers without this problem.

    Yes, there is a local folder special account in every single installation that has ever occurred in Thunderbirds 10 years of existence.,
    So perhaps you could explain what the issue is so we might be able to understand and advise on how to do what your trying to do.

  • How to install linux without losing OneKey default OS instalation

     Hello everyone. I've just bought IdeaPad Y530 and I want to remove Vista from it. I would like to remove both Windows partitions and leave only this hidden one.I would like to install as well GRUB linux loader as a default loader (MBR). My question is : Is it possible to do those things without losing possibility to install VISTA from the hidden partition. IF yes then how to do it? I've got several doubts. Changing partition size, removing VISTA loader from MBR. Even I dislike VISTA, I paid for this soft so I want to keep it. Can I ask a little help?

  • Macbook pro retina, windows 7, how to install it without using optical drive?

    Hi,
    I am thinking of buying the new macbook pro with retina display.
    I do not intend to get and external optical drive.
    I want to split the hard disk and install a windows 7 ultimate, which I own and have as an CD image ( ISO file ).
    how can I install windows from my ISO without burning it into a CD or creating an external drive? is it possible?

    Put the iso on a USB thumb drive. Then use Boot Camp Assistant to make the thumb drive bootable. Then follow the instructions in the Boot Camp Installation Guide. http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro/bootcamp/

    installed the program on the install page using internet explorer
    restarted it agian
    and when i had problems i did the whole process agian exept after runing the uninstaler i removed any existing adobe flash registry files,and i still had problems
    so i came for help on here and gave up after a week of trying
    any1 mind telling me wtf i did wrong,or is adobe flash player 10.1 the worst update ever relased or is it just not compatable with windows vista

    Hi, I'm not sure but I think Windows Live One Care has a Firewall. Do you know how to disable it and also WLOC? I'm not sure if you need to. Some Anti-Virus can block the Install of that ActiveX Control (Shockwave Flash Object)
    On the Help section, I use XP and IE8. I have a Help at the top of the browser but nothing about Windows Help or support. I'm not sure what you mean exactly. If Flash Player was not working, then any Flash Content would not have been able to be seen, or videos, etc. Any website with Flash generated pictures, etc would not be able to be seen without Flash Player.
    You must use the Administrator Account to Uninstall/Install Flash Player since this account gives you the permissions needed to Install that ActiveX ContTTrol into the browser and write to the Windows Registry.
    The easier way is to download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop. And download the FP Installer for IE and SAVE it to your Desktop. Then you would disable the Firewall and Anti-Virus(if needed),
    disable any apps (check system tray) for messenger services, yahoo, msn, etc. since they use Flash. Then you would close all browsers, Run the Uninstaller and when it is finished, Reboot. Then Run the Installer and when finished Reboot.
    The Uninstaller:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    The Installer:  http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe 
    Before you start, you may want to review the Revised Troublshooting Guide. Read it over to check settings etc.
    If you have any questions after reading that let me know. It is getting late in my time zone, so I'll check your thread tomorrow.

  • How to install Leopard without working DVD-drive?

    I have a MacBook Pro 3,1 (A1226) without a working DVD-drive and I would like to replace the existing 80Gb drive with a 320Gb drive. The hardware is no problem, I did that a few times already, but how to get the OS working?
    I have an TimeMachine backup on a USB-disk of the 10.5.8 (9L31a) installed system. I do not wish to upgrade because there is some old licensed software on it that does not work with a newer OS.
    I also have another MacBook Pro (with 10.7.5) I could hook up with an Ethernet-cable. Theoretically even with a Firewire cable I do not have right now. But when I buy extra things I should perhaps better get an external hard disk enclosure for the 320Gb?
    Please advice.

    Am gonna solve it in another way. I will just get a so-called "9.5 mm PATA Optical Bay SATA Hard Drive Enclosure" and put the 320Gb drive in that one. Sorry to have distracted you.
