My folder view and all Emails are invisible on backup PC

I've been using Thunderbird for several years, and about a year and a half ago moved my TB *.default folder to a folder within Dropbox so that my email would sync no matter whether I was using my "daily driver" iMac, or backup PC running XP. Of course I appropriately edited the path to the new *.default folder" in the profile.ini file for each machine. It worked really slick, as it should.
Although the PC gets booted up about biweekly on average, I haven't had to use Thunderbird on it since I confirmed that it worked properly per above - until now. I'm having a hardware issue with my iMac so I launched Thunderbird on the PC, and the folder pane, though it's there, is now totally blank. The message pane shows no messages, and when I click on "Read Messages" nothing happens - the view doesn't change. Likewise, selecting "Message Pane - or keying F8 - does nothing. There is no error pop-up on launch. The folder pane is checked in the pull-down menu, and I've exhausted all possible view options and still can't any folders (XP is totally up-to-date, end of support notwithstanding, and I keep the PC antivirus up-to-date and run it regularly. Since the PC is barely used , I very rarely find any problems with it.)
When I open the Error Console I see errors in the following lines: 784, 287, 131, 250, 2432, 287, and 300. I tried to copy and paste them here but it's not working (is there a way to save the error report to a text file?)
It sure would be nice to resolve this so that I can use Thunderbird on my PC until I can get my iMac fixed. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Matt,
Thanks very much for the prompt response. I added a ".old" extension to the folderTree.json filename - figured it was safer than deleting it altogether - launched TB and it behaved the same as before (no joy). After quitting Thunderbird I see a new folderTree.json file had been created (as I suspected it would be). I also see the error console loads up with more errors as TB is running. Another thing I had neglected to mention is that every time I launch TB it goes through the add-on compatibility check, as if a new version is being launched for the 1st time - and I've launched it at least 4-5 times today.

All text in all email are blank, can't view attachments.

After last osx update 10.5.6 I noticed a problem with my email. I have 2 email accounts in mail 3.5 The 1st works fine, the 2nd account lost all text in all email in in-box. Also all attachments are blank. I've tried forwarding the email to another account and also printing email but all the text looks as if it has been deleted. I've tried the font color and encoding but no luck. What would cause 20 emails to delete all the message text and blank out the attachments in only one email account?

update - I did a rebuild mailbox and all email in that problem account diapered. I can only guess that the email got corrupted and the rebuild purge the problem records. They are not in the delete folder either. What would cause one email box to become corrupt?

Changed ISPs and all emails have disappeared, but are still on HD.

Running OSX 10.5.8 and Mail 3.6.
I have have 2 mailboxes. Changed ISP from bellsouth to comcast and someone set it up for me on my Macbook Pro, including updating (not deleting) the information in Mail's preferences. The big problem now is: in Account #1, all the Sent emails are gone; in Account #2, all the Inbox and Sent emails are gone. Strangely, however, they are still on the HD. I found them in the Users folder - Library - Mailboxes - etc. Both accounts are listed there as POP accounts.
First, how do I get them back into Mail?
Second, why did this happen (so I can avoid it in the future)
Thanks so much for your help.
P.S. When the changes were made to Mail for the new ISP, other crazy things were happening too, but those have been resolved, i.e. I was getting not only my emails, but the other person's emails too. Then he fixed that, but I started getting duplicates of every email stored on the server, even if it was previously downloaded, so I ended up with 3 of each. That seems to have stopped because I went to the server and moved everything to a newly created folder.

Ask in the ID forum and be much more specific about your configuration. there could be any number of reasons why manifests, temp files or restore files are created.

Depends on the type of email account, do you know which yours is, POP or IMAP, if you don't know tell me who is your email provider

I am using iCloud email and my emails are randomly disappearing before I can read them. They are not in any folders on my iPhone and I am having to call apple to have the last 7 days of email sent to me in order to retrieve what is being lost.

I am using an apple email account and my emails are randomly disappearing before I get a chance to read them. They are not anywhere on my device, not trash, junk etc. The only solution from apple has been to resend me the past 7 days of email in order for me to retrieve the missing emails. This has taken me hours on the phone with apple support with no solution. I just don't know what to do. They have gone over the settings with me and nothing has solved the problem. I don't know where to start since it is happening on all my devices.

Control-click on the background of the view all pages window and select "Preview Calendar" from the contextual menu.
You can also save the pdf as a file to compare to the printed calendar. If the two names are visible in the pdf file then the printed copy should show them. Contact Apple for a refund. Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.)

TS3899 I use 3 email accounts. All were maintained in separate in boxes.   After upgrading to iOS7.0.2, all emails are together in one inbox. How do I get them back to their own separate in box?

You should be able to see them either way, just as you should have been before you upgraded.
If you are viewing the consolidated Inbox, you should see something like this near the top of the screen:
< Mailboxes All Inboxes      Edit
Click on the blue "< Mailboxes" to get to the list of separate Inboxes (plus maybe VIP and Flagged virtual mailboxes). Click on one of them to view that Inbox.
If that does not match what you see on your phone, let us know what you do see.

Hi Amanda,
Software applications are usually installed in the Applications folder on the Macintosh HD and are accessible to all users.
I would advise you to check the Applications folder and see if your software is in there.
Next step would be to Control Click or Right Click on the application and choose "Get Info" and make sure the permissions are set to "Read & Write" for all users. The article below provides more details:

You may need to contact Adobe Support if this does not resolve your issue:

I was wondering if you ever figured this out. I have the same issue. When I try to use the support communities, there are so many with the same problems and never seem to be any replys?? Not very helpful and I can not get Apple to return my emails.

Click on mail-mail opens and all emails there disappear

I know that there are emails on my iphone 4.
I click on mail, mail opens and all emails there disappear.

Is the account an Exchange account, a MobileMe account, or a Yahoo account that was created on the iPhone with the Yahoo account preset? If not, the account does not support Push access for received messages. Fetch only - automatically or manually.
If an account that supports Push access for received messages, who is the email account provider for the account? More than likely the problem lies there.
If the account does not support Push access for received messages - Fetch only, automatically or manually, try deleting and recreating the account on your iPhone.

Query to find the Views and synonyms that are accessing through db_link

HI all,
Oracle 10g
I need a Query to find the Views and synonyms that are accessing through db_link.
ie.
database A have the db_link to database B through a schema A
now i need to find what are the Synonyms and views that are accessing through db_link either directly or indirectly..
regards,
Deepak
Edited by: Deepak_DBA on Dec 10, 2010 5:38 PM

On the second database (B) use this query to find the SQL which used by the schema A (DB LINK USER). Check the SQL_FULLTEXT column.
select sql_fulltext,sql_id,module,parsing_schema_name,parsing_user_id,first_load_time,loads,users_executing,rows_processed,plsql_exec_time,sorts,fetches,invalidations,parse_calls,cpu_time,elapsed_time,disk_reads,buffer_gets
from V$sqlarea
where parsing_schema_name = 'A' --and to_char(first_load_time,'dd/mm/yyyy') like '%11/08/2007'
order by first_load_time desc;

My Apple ID and rescue email are reversed. How can I change them both at the same time

My Apple ID and rescue email are reversed. How can I change them both at the same time?

I'd already used this standard tool (exhaustively!), but for the problem encountered it operated in Catch 22 mode - you had to do two things but neither order was permitted. I did find an answer eventually, but am not sure what it was I did that solved it! Thanks, anyway.

It would be nice if you told others the steps you've tried and/or how you used to have your setup.
Anyway have you tried tapping MORE this will then bring you to
the selection-list of Audiobooks, Genres, Compilations & Composers.
Selecting Genres gives you a list of all your music split into genres which was set within the Music downloaded via iTunes or uploaded from CD or which you may have set yourself.
Then you just select the Genre you want:
If certent songs are not correctly gategorised you may need to go into iTunes and reselect via Get-info
>Info>Genre and change it there. That way you should end up with all songs of Jazz or other in 1 place.

After the Airport update today, Airport Utility no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green?

After the Airport update today, Airport Utility 6.0 no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green? I'm running Lion on my iMac and updated when Airport Utility prompted me to do so a few hours ago. After applying the updates is when Airport Utility stopped seeing my routers. But they are working? Thoughts?

Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
Check the network
