How to migrate just one email account to another computer not the whole profile

I have several email accounts in the default profile. I added an account to help a friend scrape email off a webmail server to solve his quota problem. They are visible in their separate inbox and folders. Now I want to "export" his emails in a format that can be imported into his newly installed Thunderbird. If I back up and restore the whole profile won't it take all of my accounts with it? Don't want that. Just want to move his data.

You could use ImportExportTools addon.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
download file to eg: desktop
To install addon:
In Thunderbird
* Tools > addons
* click on gear wheel icon
* select; Install addon from file
* locate the file you downloaded and click on Open
You may need to restart Thunderbird.
To use the tool:
* Right click on folder - select 'ImportExporttools > Export folder
note: If Pop mail account - no worries as everything is stored in TB profile.
If IMAP mail account, make sure all subscribed folders were synchronised to get an mbox copy in the Profile folder as subscribed folders (not synchronised) only download headers. Then go offline mode (this temporarilly stops synchronising) to Export them.
When all folders are exported, you can copy then to a suitable medium eg: usb stick, so that your friend can copy them to another computer.
Your friend could use the same addon to Import those folders into Thunderbird after creating the mail account.
When you have exported all of the folders with emails, you could remove the mail account.
* Tools > account Settings
* select the mail account
* click on 'Account actions'
* select 'Remove account'
* click on OK
You may then need to also remove them from your Profile folder.
Help > Troubleshooting Information
click on 'show Folder'
a window opens showing Profile folder. You might need to make hidden files and folders visible to see these files.

Close Thunderbird now this is important.
click on 'Mail' folder (has pop mail accounts and Local folders) or ImapMail fo IMAP folders and look for and delete your friends mail account name folder.
then restart Thunderbird.

I don't need notifications for any of the accounts except for the time-sensitive account (which is a gmail push account).
does anyone know how to enable Mail Notifications (Lock Screen and Alerts) for just one email account?
cheers,

How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB?

How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB? Can anyone give me the steps?

Essentially the Hub area is a home screen dedicated to your communication. Tap on the lower left icon and each of your messaging sections has its own dedicated 'icon.' As JC mentioned, it is new and it may take a while to get used to it.. but once you do it really is a great way to deal with the unified messaging idea and it also allows you to break down what you are looking at very quickly. Just need to learn a few new tricks. I've been on the Z for just over 3 months now and I could never go back...

How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer

How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer without taking up twice as much space on my hard drive?

You would need to move the itunes folder to a location that both users have permissions to access such as the Shared folder or any folder on the root level of the macintosh HD.
You can find instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 This method allows you to share the content without sharing the same library.

Hello Banjo62
Try testing that issue out within a new user on your Mac. If it does the same thing, then you will need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

Do you want to transfer the entire library? If so just connect the two Macs together and copy the iPhoto Library from Mac A to Mac B and put it in your Pictures folder. Be sure to rename it if you already have a library in the destination folder so as not to overwrite.
Under no circumstances should you import a library into another library.

How to set up just an email account? - it's not working

Hi there,
Could someone please let me know how to set up just an email account for a staff member?
I tried "E-mail Accounts" - Add an email account - but the password verification NEVER comes through. I've tried send password recoved but does not work (ive deleted it and tried 3 different Password recovery e-mails - gmail / local and another BC one too).. nothing is working.
So then I read the knowledge base which is out of date:
http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/000/bc_8.html?bc-partner says to set up an email account you need to go to Site Users (which doesn't exist) to tick "enable email" - so I tried Admin users but it has no email only option..

Hi Dandy,
You can still switch to V2 view to find things. Something I am still doing when I do these irregular jobs, as they only happen when a site goes live and that will only be once a month for us. Twice some months.
Although I just tried going to V2 and getting up the V3 view, but it didn't send me to the page I wanted.
I notice that there is a new tab in V3 called Email accounts, where you can set up email accounts now. Try there.
You will need to have the user set up first under Admin Users and User Roles first I expect.
Also check workflows are set up properly once you have gone into Email Accounts and set up the email address.
Or maybe just go back to V2 and do it all there. Click in top rh corner to get back to it.

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 to disable a single cell in a table (and not the whole column)

Hi there,
I've got a webdynpro table with a few columns, rows can be created dynamically through a button in the table toolbar.
Depending on the value of a certain cell I have to disable another cell (in the same row).
I tried to manipulate the view in the modifyview but no joy. I also tried to manipulate the attribute property through the coding below:
DATA lv_knttp TYPE knttp.
lo_nd_kostl = wd_context->path_get_node( path = `MULTIVALUES.KOSTL` ).
lo_el_kostl = lo_nd_kostl->get_element( ).
lo_el_kostl->set_attribute_property(
attribute_name = 'LTEXT'
property = lo_el_kostl->e_property-enabled
value = ''
but it disables the whole column!!!! I just need the cell to be disabled (I thought the code above, through the lead selection, would affect a certain cell only - but I was wrong).
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
using cell variants you can do this.,
check this article: [Cell Variants in WDA|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/WebDynproforABAPCellVariants]
Instead of binding the read only property of table as a whole , just bind the read only property of column group of table., You can do this bu drill down the table and select the required column and bind the read only column.,
then In onAction Event of button .,
loop the table, if condition satisfied set the read only property to true else false.,!!
hope this helps u.,
Thanks & regards,
Kiran
