I'm using a PC that has his my relative's old Thunderbird email account loaded on. He doesn't need it any more. How do I swap it over into my name?

I have taken over use of my elderly relative's PC (Windows 7). He had a Thunderbird email account set up but he will no longer need it. I have tried deleting the Thunderbird programme from the PC and then loading it up agaiun but my Uncle's memail account details are still there. Is there a simple way to change his account details over to one under my own name?

see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Types-of-Accounts#w_mail-accounts here ]for explanation of IMAP and POP. Even though it is a little long, it was a basic as I could make it.
The warning is safe to ignore. We have some people working on Thunderbird with a very German view of security and privacy. It works out well for making Thunderbird secure and safeguarding privacy. Not so well for warnings people do not understand.
In this case the warning is telling you your user name and password as well as all your mail is going to and from the server as plain text, so if someone wanted to they would have no trouble sniffing the traffic to read your mail or get your login credentials. ISPs did it this way in the past as a matter of course, as it reduces support calls and they claim the traffic is only internal to their network. Not a good argument given that Google and Yahoo as well as Microsoft are all taking steps to ensure all internal traffic is encrypted.
But knowing the risk, ignoring the warning is not really an issue. Most mail after all is the most boring read to anyone else. However if your a Doctor or a scientist doing secret research then plain text email is not really going to cut it anyway.

  • TS2446 I have an itunes account that has lost it's association with my email address, password or birthdate doesn't work.  How do I fix this?

    My email address is no longer associated with my itunes account/MacID.  I think this happened when I created an account for my new iphone and used the same email address.  Now I've forgotten my password and can't seem to reset it.  When I tell it to send me a new password via email it never shows up.  When I try to do it by answering questions it doesn't accept my answers.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Does tethering my iPad to my iPhone 4s use more data than using an iPad that has its own data plan?

    Does tethering my iPad to my iPhone 4s use more data than using an iPad that has it's own data plan?

    No, it won't work.. the Airports are not media devices.. they have no brains .. no media extensions.. and itunes must be running on a computer.
    You can however watch movies from storage but not with itunes..
    See how people use tools like VLC to get around Apple's built in iTunes limitations.

  • "Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist" error when opening list with grouping and item level permissions

    Hi All,
    I have a list with few items. If I break role inheritance for at least one item and try to open list view page, I receive this error:
    Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030102 (STG_E_REVERTED))
    This occurs only if view has GroupBy in query. If I remove grouping from view, then error disappears. But I need to have grouping in view as well as item level permissions.
    How can I achieve this? Is this some limitation?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Does the site use any custom code? Not necessarily the task list but can be anywhere. If yes, ensure that current context SPWeb/SPSite objects are not being disposed off.

    Any way to start up a new iPad without using the pc that has iTunes loaded. My pc was stolen in Italy and I am still in Europe.

    So you don't have the cords I assume and the battery is dead?  If you already installed songs, apps and other stuff via itunes you should be fine.  Just buy or use the cords you received.  You may need to buy the electrical adapters for EU connections.
    Sorry to hear about the PC.

    You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this.  If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.
    This forum is for issue regarding downloading and installing Adobe trial products, so in any circumstance, your issue does not fit in this forum.

    Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

    I have an old ID that has $ but I can't remember the email or password.  How do I get the $ transferred to another account?

    You can't transfer a balance (nor its purchases) to another account. Do you have any of its purchases on your computer's iTunes library ? If you do then selecting it and doing 'get-info' (control-I) should tell you the account id on the Summary tab on the popup.
    You can also see if you can find the id and get the password reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

    Hey there FlamingTurd!
    If you are having issues connecting to the App Store on your phone, there is an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    We also have an article that deals with troubleshooting apps you have downloaded from the App Store and installed on your computer. That article can be found here:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
    Finally, if neither of those articles resolve the issue, you may need to restore your iPad:

    I have an i-pad and have just got an i-phone but want 2 use a different I cloud? I've set up new email account and apple ID, but I can't change the I-cloud settings, can u help PLS??

    The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,

  • Can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    Hello arbazu,
    Unfortunately, when setting up a new/replacement printer, you wont be able to use the same email address, nor can it be transferred to another printer. Once an email is used, the email address itself is not able to be used for a certain period of time (which I believe is 6 months).
    However, by creating a new email address, but adding an 01 or 02 at the end, you can get something very similar to what you had previously.
    If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution
