I want to move my Hotmail messages and folders to Thunderbird

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1052603 /questions/1052603]''
where do I get a reply to my question (to read it) ??

"Change browsers"? I'm not sure how that relates to you. You have mentioned two browser-based email services, and there's nothing to stop you working these through any modern browser.
You can set either or both of these up in Thunderbird (use IMAP if given a choice) and the messages will just appear in Thunderbird.
Contacts are harder. You'll need to export these, preferably to CSV file or vCard format, and import these into Thunderbird's Address Book.
But why are you considering Thunderbird? What do you hope to achieve by using it?

How do I move all the messages and folders in `Local Folder' to my main account folder? The stuff in local is from importing from Outlook

I imported my mail from Outlook and they went to Local Folders. I want them in the main folder section for my account. How do I move them there?
At the moment I have to create each folder and then copy the contents from one folder to the other - crazy, and I have dozens of folders

As Chgrist1 said, that is how it works. Having looked as how Outlook stores mail, and everything else. It is a wonder anything ever comes out that is useable. PST files are a mess. First thing they do is pull the email apart and store header, body and attachments is three different places.
You will also find (most likely) that your accounts in Outlook were POP and the default in Thunderbird is IMAP. merging IMAP and POP files and folders is fraught with difficulties and dangers. It would be a brave developer that tried that in an import.
In the case of IMAP all your mail is one the server, so import is not all that important. However copying a gigabyte or two of of outlook mail into your imap server could exhaust your available message storage space there and cause the import to fail completely.
So If you want to do what your saying, first confirm that your not using IMAP mail. Otherwise your experience is most likely going to be exceedingly poor.
If you are using POP mail, then changing the setting in your pop account to cause it to use the global inbox will make a single mail account appear, "Local Folder", with your outlook mail as a sub folder of that.
Dragging a folder from the imported outlook tree to Local folders is not difficult, as long as you remember that folders hang of other folders, so your dragging them to a parent, not a position on the screen you like.

Want to change length validator message and change field format.

I want to override Length Validator Message as I want to tell the user that phone number
must contain 10 numbers
I've added this validator on the phone field
af:validateLength minimum="10" maximum="10"
                               hintMinimum="11" hintMaximum="22"
                               hintNotInRange="33" messageDetailMinimum="44"
                               messageDetailMaximum="55"
                               messageDetailNotInRange="66" id="lengthval"/>and this when I enter less than 10 numbers the error message tell that you must enter 10 characters
I want to override this message to be "you must enter 10 numbers"
And I want to make this number format like
XXXX,XXX,XX
How can I make this.

Strictly speaking a number in this format is no number. It's a phone number and you should use a regular expression validator for this.

I purchased a 3TB Airport Time Capsule After 8 hours been able to configure the box using Ethernet connection but now I want to move my current backups and it wants authentication but no box is available to provide my administrator name can anyone help ?

I purchased a 3TB Airport Time Capsule to use with my Mac running latest Maverics. After 8 hours been able to configure the box using Ethernet connection but now I want to move my current backups from my small driveand it wants authentication but no box is available to provide my administrator name can anyone help ?

I overcame the permissions by allowing both paths to have read and write access to anyone but that didnt solve it until I copied it into the DATA directory which I created on the Airport Time Capsule.
I had already discovered the TIME MACHINE How to transfer backups but I am struggling still with the item and cannot currently get it to work. My setup seems to have created a wireless link to my router which is what I wanted and in that set up there are three options. I have simply gone for the extension of my network. I ignored the other option there which I cannot remember something like DNS? That may be the problem becasuse when I remove the Ethernet connector it just doesnt go anywhere.
I have also found I cannot update my TIME MACHINE software (currently 1.3) as although Apple tell me I should be able to set backups hourly daily or weekly I have only ever been able to run it hourly when i would prefer longer intervals so thought an update might be necssary.
Also tried to get an update for my Airport Utility (Currently 6.3.2 but cannot find one even though I have read there might be one available and again this might be the problem.
Have reset the Time Capsule now about a dozen times.
Following the instructions and trying to copy my existing backup it suggests you need to copy it to the root directory but that is when I get some sort of security issue and I found I could only get it to accept if I dragged my .backupdb to the DATA directory on the Time Capsule. I dont even know if I do this it will work when I come to use it.
I therefore found your reply of no more help than i had discovered but I hope you return to read this note because I really do need some help.
I am intending starting again in the next couple of days and fully documenting what I do and what I see and then as I suspect it will be no different and I will then seek an appointment at the Apple Store in Trafford Centre and if that proves unsuccessful then I still have time to return and become a dissatisfied customer with Apple for the first time in a long experience with Apple. I have noticed frightening notes on the conversations which point to problems of Mavericks working with Airport Time Machine!! So in the end it might not be me doing anything wrong. Unfortunately you do feel left out in the dark sometimes that is why I hope you can respond with a solution?

I need an app to lock my messages and folders for free

i need an app to lock my text messge with passcode and other apps\ folders to lock with an password..
i need to know how to activate delivery reports for sent text messages, spam folder s also needed.. even in a basic mobil its present .. so plzzzzz help.
then only i can recommend others to buy iphone

Well, Brinda, currently there is no way to lock your messages or folders except by using a basic passcode lock on the phone itself.
For dilevery reports, you need at least iOS 5 and go to settings > messages. It is only possible to get these reports for messages sent to other i-devices.
As far as a spam folder, could you elaborate?

Move photo from message and add to contacts

A friend sent a photo as a text message, now I would like to add it to her contact information. I saved it to the "saved file in the text message app, but still can't see how to move it to the contact photo. When I open the contact edit screen and choose the blank photo, it gives me only two choices, Camera or Photos. I choose photos but I can't find the "saved text message photo on my TREO 680.
The other choice is to "add to contact" which creates a new contact and then I would have to move all her information over. I would think there would be a simpler way.
Any hints?
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

Those two fields should not be flashing. Do they flash on every contact?
Also if you turn on Airplane mode does it still flash?

Firefox can not read Hotmail messages and some other program input fields (Hotmail OK if add-ons disbled)

Yesterday Hotmail was fine under Firefoax, today messages cannot be opened, cannot access bank account customer number, cannot enter text into comments section in newspaper. Can access Hotmail and newspaper comments on Opera. But I can access Hotmail on Firefox if I start up with add-ons disabled option, but when disable all add-ons individually on Firefox normal access, it's back to not working again. Have also gone back 4 updates on Windows Vista Home Basic and disabled the excellent Rapport bank security. Tried to disable Foxit reader previously (as older posts advised) and no difference. Any ideas ?, In the meantime will keep Opera open for Hotmail and try access bank tomorrow. Thanks all.

Thanks Jcher2000 and cor-el for your suggestions, I think have solved the mystery, Firefox add-ons were all ok, but EXTENSIONS contained a program called Price-Peep which has caused the problem. Solved by elimination;
Shut down ALL Add-ons AND extensions, Hotmail worked, re-introduced all Add-ONs, one at a time, all worked OK, then did the same with extensions, worked down the list and, at the second to last (how unusual), Hotmail stopped working with Pricepeep enabled, then restarted with it Ppee disabled, checked the last program and all still working in Hotmail. I have just looked at the Pricepeep site and I think it was added when I took delivery of a spare webcam which didn't have software so downloaded software from the web (cannot check back site as have cleared all history caches in sorting this mes) so ise people NOT to agree to download this crap. Just emailed the idiots )© 2012 Verti Technology Group). Now, how do I report this to Mozilla and Hotmail ?... Thanks folks, from a very pissed off person in France...Colin.

I want to transfer old hotmail messages to imail

Hey everyone. i just set up my imail account and it seems to be working but i really want to transfer my old hotmail emails that are stored on hotmail into imail so i have them all there... can i do this somehow?

What is an imail account, do you mean Mobile Me (your email address would end with .me)

I have purchased a new laptop and want to move my itunes music and maintain my playlists from the old desktop to the new laptop.

An additional complication is that on the old desktop I have music in 2 locations, both on C: drive and F: drive that I would like to combine all to one location now and still maintain my playlists.
I may need to do this first on the old desktop before moving to new laptop. Either way is ok.
Does anyone provide documentation on how to do this is highly appreciated?
Thanks, Kathy

I've already figured out how to keep the playlists....but now how to get F: to C: and STILL maintain the playlists?
Thanks

How Can I Move Individual Mail Messages to Folders Without Dragging Each One?

In my business, I get a lot of client email. I also create and store a lot of client documents. To manage everything, I have created a main folder named "Clients" on my Mac, and have also created a separate subfolder for each individual client to hold both documents and correspondence pertaining to that specific client. When I want to save an email to that folder, I drag that message to the desktop to then be filed in the individual client's folder. It's a two step process, but one I've been using successfully for some time.
This was not such a big deal before Mail became a beautiful full-screen app. But now, in order to take advantage of Mail's full-screen capabilities, I have to first exit full screen each time I wish to drag a message out of Mail to my desktop. Then once the message or messages have been dragged out, I have to reenable full-screen. That's a couple of additional steps and a real nusiance. I've considered creating a mailbox for each client in Mail, but with hundreds of clients that's really not an option.
My question is as follows: Is anyone aware of any app, script, or add on available for Mail, that would allow me to either move or copy individual email messages directly to my desktop or to a folder without having to go through exiting and enabling full screen each time? Perhaps an app or script that offers a dedicated right-click in the context menu? Or one that offers the "Desktop" as a location in the current right click "Move To" menu? Or that would create a keyboard shortcut that would accomplish that task? I've searched online, but have been unable to come up with anything.
Thanks in advance for your help. Any advice or suggestions you could give would be most appreciated!
Patrick

Have you tried dragging the mail from the inbox and dropping it where you want to save it - all in the MAILBOXES sidebar? If you make the sub folders visible, you should be able to deposit the mail wherever you like.

IMAP messages (and folders) appearing and disappearing at random

I have an IMAP account, and the inbox messages keep on disappearing and reappearing. Sub-folders from the account also disappear and reappear at random. I shut down Mail, removed the Envelope index and the IMAP- folder (put onto the desktop), and then restarted Mail so that it would re-index the emails. That worked temporarily. Mail redownloaded all the emails in the box from the IMAP server (600+), then they disappeared again. I removed the mailbox completely (through Preferences) and reinitiallized it, same behavior.
If I click on the inbox for that account, none of the mails are there. If I then Synchronize (under Mailbox menu), they reappear (sometimes) or not (they either all appear or don't, for no rhyme or reason). I can then click off that mailbox to another and come back, and they disappear again!!
There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to this...any thoughts?

IMAP, IMAP .. fun stuff hey!
OK .. since your running IMAP you MUST be checking mail at various locations (remote or not). You could be using various computer to check IMAP mail also. OK .. step one ... IMAP is not a protocol
used or intended for a client mail application to be running at multiple locations simultaneously,
which is the MAJOR drawback versus a regular POP mail account. Make sure ALL other mail clients
are QUIT and config'ed properly at each location. You can and should only use one open client at each location each time. IF more than one mail client is running you will get these PROBLEMS all the time!!! See each open client wants to load (populate) ALL the IMAP info at one time once its running. IF setting's not correct two open mail clients will fight and clash to download your mail
