Moving Mail Between Web Hosting Companies

Hi Gang-
I recently moved my primary website from one host to another. I diligently moved all my IMAP email boxes to the "On My Mac" section in Apple Mail before changing my nameservers. After the nameserver change I moved the mail boxes back to the IMAP of the new host within Apple Mail. All was good in the world until I realized I failed to move the "Sent" folder so I left behind about 1000 outgoing sent emails. I would love to have those emails back in Apple Mail so they can be searchable.
Since the namservers have been changed, I can no longer check email in the old way and move the email to my Mac. I can however still use the IP address to FTP in to the email folder and manually download the files. I have successfully downloaded the Sent mailbox to my Mac desktop.
Now the problem. How do I get these files I downloaded into Apple Mail so I can get them to the new hosting plan IMAP? The Apple Mail import function does not seem to recognize the email files or the folder the email files are in.
Thanks in advance for any help!

ber-
Looks like some nifty tools on that site but it might be a bit over my head. I more of a drag and drop / click the mouse kind of Mac user. Some of those look like they might do the trick but implementing them is a tad much for me.
Thanks for jumping in ber. Much appreciated.
Any simpler options out there?

Changed web hosting companies/mail server

I just changed web hosting companies and want to know if I change the "incoming" and "outgoing" server to the new server addresses will I lose the emails that I have for this account? Said another way, I'm going to open mail preferences, select the mail account I need to change and type in new mail server addresses?
Sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find an answer in a search.

Hi there, and welcome to the Discussions.
Changing the outgoing (SMTP) server should not make you loose emails, since the SMTP server is, by definition, only used to send emails. The emails you have already sent and want to keep are stored in a folder that is completely independent from your choice of SMTP server.
When it comes to changing the incoming server, that's a different business. The consequences of such a change depend on the type of the server. Is it POP? IMAP?... If it is POP, I would assume that you would not loose anything, because POP works in such a way that you download all your emails from the POP server, the emails are then deleted from the server (at least, this is the default setting), and then the reference copies of your emails are the ones on your computer, which should therefore not be touched by a change in the POP server.
If the incoming server is an IMAP server, then I don't know what will happen, but there is a risk that you could loose your emails. This is because, with IMAP, the reference copies of your emails are the ones on the server, with which your computer automatically synchronizes.
In any case, before doing anything, BACKUP YOUR EMAILS, and make sure your know how to restore these backups in case something goes wrong.
Then, I suggest you wait for someone more knowledgeable than myself to better answer your question.
Hope this helps

Recommended Web Hosting companies for Video/Photographers

In starting up my own videography and photography business are there any web hosting companies that someone could recommend that have the adequate bandwidth to support lots of photo and video downloading? Most, if not all the, elcheapo hosting services (Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc.) have cheap prices but crappy speed. I don't mind paying for what I need but I expect it to be delivered.

Actually I am looking into just that. I have a litney of questions I just sent to their support staff that I figured were too lengthy to ask here.
I might as one. It would be VERY worthwhile to be able to get more stats than just hits. Not being a Zen Web Master, is this possible with a .mac account? Is it as simple as just putting in some hooks into my web page to enable this?
I've been looking around asking some friends I have in and out of multiple business and, rightly so, most of the feedback I've seen, the hosting companies want, up front, estimates of what my use will be and at what speeds. I've not a clue on these stats. Kind of a catch 22. Don't know the stats until you get a web site up but can't get a web site until I know the stats. This is where a .mac account would be idea, at least for starters but I think to be really useful I would need to be able to get the statistics. Also, I want my own URL with my company name in it. I believe that this is possible but I think I need to first register my name externally and then I somehow link to it from a .mac account. I've got no idea how to do this other than getting a name. That is easy.

Which hosting companies are best, and what makes them good?
I've been through a few different hosts in as many years --
reasons for leaving them include excessive downtime and poor
customer support. All of the hosts that I quit using had an uptime
guarantee, but their servers would routinely bog down during peak
traffic hours.
I'm currently using GoDaddy; I've been with them for about a
year now. I haven't noticed any downtime on their servers, their
rates and features/plans are very competitive, and customer service
is excellent. With other services I'd typically wait for upwards of
a half hour to get someone on the phone, but I get through to
support at GoDaddy almost immediately. I'd recommend them to anyone
looking for personal or small business use -- the only caveat is
that their lowest price plans only give you 10mb for your email
accounts, so you either have to do a little routine maintenance or
upgrade your email plan.

Repointing DNS A names from other web hosting companies

I have a website name registered at UK Reg and want to point it to my .mac iweb page. Does anyone know how to find out what the IP address of my published page is?

James,
I finally got around to doing the two sites. One thing is that I cannot seem to alter the attributes of the slideshow feature. ie I can't get it to magnify. Anyway as per your request my wife's site is www.itsawrapw4.co.uk - I still have to put more content there but it's up and running. my business site is www.lundbergallen.com.
I have to say iweb is a lot easier than Dreamweaver which I have used for anoother of my websites.
Look forward to your views re the slideshow effects.

Java Web Services and hosting companies

Hi
At this moment I am looking for a web hosting companies.
I will be developing website in Java and I will also develop Web Services.
Can you tell if I am able to host Web Services with any hosting company that supports Java. Or is there any special requirement on the behalf of the hosting companies to support Web Services written in Java
regardas

No Problem at all
Nomally the Web Service is big different between Web application. or you can build your Web service structure like web application structure. It depends on the web server:
If the Web Server of hosting company has WEB Service framework, you just need know how to deploy your Web service to Web Service framework and How to deploy to Web Server. In this case, you need deploy it two time, one is for Web Server framework and one is for Web Service framework
If the Web Server of hosting company doesn't has WEB Service framework, you need build your own Web Service framework into a web application, then you just need know how to deploy your web application with Web service into Web Server framework

Which web hosting company for my iWeb site?

Hi everyone.
I was going to let my iWeb site just die with MobileMe, but decided to go ahead and get hosting for it to keep it online. I'm trying find advice on which company to choose. After looking online I saw this one company called Little Oak is a mac web hosting company, and they are offering a 25% discount right now to host websites (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012
Can anyone vouch for their reputation? Or can you offer up any other companies that I should consider?
Thank you.
Anne.

I use Little Oak for my site, and I can genuinely recommended. They are great. And in regards to pricing, it is relative. You can find really budget and cheap hosting, you can even find free hosting. But you usually get what you pay for. I would stay away from free hosting if you want decent service. I really like and value the service I get from LO. And that 25% coupon looks like a good reason to try them. I've called or IM with them at all hours of the day, and always get great service.
Its true that most web hosting companies offer similar prices and packages, what you really want to see if a companies reputation for service, because when things go wrong, you want to be sure you are going to be taken care of.
I'm sure whoever you go with, they will be able to help you move your site over. Here is a help sheet from Apple to get you started: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4686).

Please suggest good web hosting company.

I've had my web sites hosted with a company for the past four years, but in the past few months, and particularly the past few weeks, their service has gone to crap. I couldn't access email for hours today.
Can anyone suggest good web hosting companies? I don't need advanced features like being able to use BlazeDS and ColdFusion, but I need stuff like PHP, MySQL, Perl, Python, Linux or Unix, Ruby on Rails, AND QUALITY 24/7 SUPPORT.
Thanks in advance.

How much you looking to pay??? and how technical are you?
I used to have a private server for 135 a month, installed whatever and did whatever I wanted on it, it was pretty liberating...Just remote into it, and admin'd the thing.
For email I just used google, routed my domain through google and was good to go, no headache of setting or managing some exchange server and it was free, they do have a pay option, which is fairly priced if you need tech support, but google's never been down for me...

Tomcat or others that would support "web hosting features"?

Hello,
I have been looking around for about a week now trying to find a product that would provide the following:
A JSP engine like tomcat, however that would support multiple connections from multiple accounts for a web hosting business. Security is one of the most critical thing in this.
I would appreciate if anybody would like to share this information, which product do web hosting companies normally use to provide JSP hosting?
Thank you very much,

Hi, Bob. Cobalt servers have a pretty bad reputation in the hosting industry (overpriced, underpowered). And it's worse if your host isn't answering your support questions...
I'd say shop around. My company is a Java hosting specialist. We have our Java servers set up out of the box, and the company is run by Java developers.

Hi
You can ask your clients to create a free trial site using the link below and once they have their first trial site ready, they can add you as admin, so the site will be listed in Muse/dreamweaver, where you can publish the content

Web hosting for JSF

I'd like to use JSC to build and deploy a small web app, but no web hosting companies that I've contacted support JavaServer Faces and JSF Components. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced web host ($15-20 USD per month) that supports this new technology?
thanks in advance,
geof

We will later on, but I think all you need is Tomcat
hosting. Should be able to deploy the jsf libs with
the app.
We have a dedicated server setup for a customer for a
project we are bulding in jsc.

Thanks.

IWeb '08: domain and web hosting issues

This is a comment on iWeb '08 in conjuction with a .mac account:
I was delighted when I first read in Macworld about the new iWeb '08, as I had hoped very much, being a fledgling small business owner, and having very little computer web-coding knowledge, to be able to easily put up a great website with my own domain. I thought, "wow, I can now use these for my own domain name, publishing easily via .mac.!"
Well, as I pursued my research on this, I found also through Macworld (here is the link)
http://www.macworld.com/2007/08/reviews/iweb08/index.php -- that as great as iWeb '08 is, if you truly want to have a smooth experience with your own website, and are not a practiced web-techie, the iWeb/.mac/yourowndomain.com will hobble you in various ways. See further discussions of this on the .mac forums.
My suggestion to Apple:
1) Why not just sell the iWeb templates in a separate package, so that they can be used freely on personal or commercial domains registered with chosen web hosting companies? Apple can of course, choose the price on this!
2) If Apple is going to do iWeb templates, they need to remain in the accepted, easily downloadable format that is required of everything else on the Internet. .mac forum posters complained about the long download time and apparently didn't realize that iWeb images are in the PNG file-heavy format instead of JPG. Converting these to JPG causes you to lose some design features in the original files.
3) Or, why not just have a really simple, Apple-intuitive web-design program using a bunch of templates that you can customize to some extent? This would be something especially for non-tech types like me who just want to easily put up a simpler classy website whether for small business or personal use.
4) If you are going to be a web hosting company, be a web hosting company! Or else, just say it plainly, ".mac is for you to have a family and friends website, and that's it!" Why have all the current hassles involved with publishing via .mac to yourowndomain.com? Apple has great things going and could be a top notch web-hoster for all the mac owners. The beauty of Apple is the classy design, and the intuitive nature of (well, most of) its products.
I think you have lots and lots of host-and-design-your-website-right-with-dotmac wannabes waiting in the wings out there!
Just my two cents. Or three or four...

I think I was struggling with the same issue. I have a small commercial site and it would not be appropriate to link direct to .mac. I really like the ease that changes can be made to .mac so I added a cname record to "mydomain.com". It just kicked in yesterday but it seems to work great (hosted by aplus.net). The address bars shows "mydomain.com/whatever" as you work your way thru the web site. I was under the impression that it would only show "mydomain.com" even if you were in pages within the site. I am definitely a non-tech type when it comes to web sites. Seems I now have the best of both worlds - I can make changes to the site in minutes with no ftp, and users see the correct domain name...
My only concern: how does google handle indexing???

Web Design Qualifications, Why Dreamweaver and Hosting Companies

What a wonderfully lovely forum!
Thank you for the information – was most helpful!
(See thread ‘Bugs, Viruses and Webdesigners’)
Have since carried out a little more research and with
everything in mind, I have decided to give doing my own website
another go and would appreciate any advice on the following.
The site will have. . .
- A small online shop (whereby customers can browse various
items and pay (securely) online).
- Various details about my business.
- Quite a few photographs (though most are quite small
– the odd one being of reasonable size).
- And I will be editing the site on an almost daily basis (my
business holds various showjumping competitions so results, show
dates, class times, photographs etc will need updating frequently).
First of all, I do not want this bug lark all over again
(please see afore mentioned thread). Can anyone recommend a good
hosting company which is easy to use, can facilitate the above
features, will allow me to use my own website builder and which
will cater for a small site without allowing bugs, viruses etc to
cause me problems?
(I want extreme security this time).
And if I decide it’s beyond me and want to go with a
website designer are there any certifications/licences they should
have that I need to look out for?
Also (so many questions, I am sorry) is there any reason
Dreaweaver is the preffered tool? I feel it's out of my depth but
wonder what makes it so special?

This is a big request for most website builders, designers,
etc, how ever it
is not imposable to do with the right tools. you might want
to look at using
somthing like paypal to get started in this direction first.
> - Various details about my business.
This is the easy part it between <html> and
</html>

You will need a good photo editor to make your images
sutitable for
displaying in your site, Keep the origanals (large images) of
the site and
the site for down loading after they are paid for.

Very do able its done by almost evry one daily.

I have use a company called Cristal Tech web hosting for
about six years or
longer I can't rember for sure but they have plans for every
one from small
personal sites to verry large corpeation sites. They offer
full controle
over your site through a controle panel and its yours to do
whatever you
have to do. I have never used a redy made site builder I
stared with note
pad and then to editpad and up to dreamwever with version UD1
which I think
was dreamweaver two or three but I have always had my own
tools to upload my
sites.

Just ask Murray for assistance on this one.

Dreamweaver is the perferd tool for every one that cmes to
this lovey place
any way, I hope you learn to use it to its full capasity but
it will take
some time, and just come here and read whats going on and
you'll get it. F1
is your frend.
Good Luck

It stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

Recently, Thunderbird stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

Further notes (different user, same problem):
* This is a problem that started in Thunderbird 32
* This involves both automatic (filter) moves and manual moves
* This includes use of keys and hotkeys (the delete key, for example)
* Restarting Thunderbird does seem to "reset" the problem... for a while. I notice the problem most when either I've been away from the computer/program for a while or when waking a laptop computer from a sleep or hibernation state.
