Recently installed parallels on my iMac and created email account in outlook express where all my emails now are but have gone from my mail on the mac

I have recently installed parallels on my Macbook and created my existing email account within outlook express which has all emails but by doing this it has removed all emails from Mail on the Macbook. I don't won't to delete from outlook then find I have lost them forever. I'm just trying to find out how I can get them back to their original place in Mail.
Any help would be great.

Hello,
If has more than one account, the Inbox icon, for example, should have a black triangle if the accounts have been correctly added via the assistant. If that triangle is pointing sideways, then he clicks on it, it should turn downward, and reveal the Inbox for each account. If he does not have but the one account, then the Inbox should be that of the AOL account. Same with Sent Drafts, etc.
If the triangle beside Inbox reveals other folders such as Sent Items, click to open that, and then click Mailbox in the menubar, place cursor on Use this Mailbox for and choose Sent.
AOL is IMAP access, so can be tricky. The folders under AOL lower in the Sidebar are for other archiving. AOL only allows messages to stay in the Inbox and Sent folder for 27 days, and then you must Move the messages to the Saved folder to keep longer on the server. Of course, various On My Mac mailboxes can be created to save messages, and those will be on the hard drive of his Mac.
In Mail 2.x and OS 10.4.10 there is no longer a separator for On My Mac in the Sidebar, but is with 10.3.x and Mail 1.3.x
This may or may not be such a good idea to have switched him without being in front of his computer to provide some instruction

  • I recently installed Mavericks on this iMac and upgraded to Adobe Cloud 2014 now InDesign CC 2014 fails to launch and I get a crash report. Has this happened to anyone else?

    I recently installed Mavericks on this iMac and upgraded to Adobe Cloud 2014 now InDesign CC 2014 fails to launch and I get a crash report. Has this happened to anyone else?

    It isn't happening to everyone else, but if there was a trend of it happening to a lot of people, that would probably show up in the official InDesign user forum. But there aren't a lot of crash reports there, so it isn't something that's happening to everyone. There are a couple, so you might look at those. But since there is not a huge wave of crash reports, the problem might be more related to a problem on the system rather than a problem with InDesign, like a corrupted font.
    The best place to troubleshoot is probably over at the Adobe forum since the users there know InDesign very well.

  • Lost all email when I deleted email accounts and created new accounts in Thunderbird, this is due to complications changing password. How do I get mail back?

    First, I did not do a backup, did not think I needed one, my bad. I recently had to change my passwords in the ISP Server and of course in Thunderbird. There were complications, none of my email clients, both Outlook and Thunderbird on multiple computers, would authenticate the new passwords, in working around them I changed to imap from pop3, then later tried to change back to pop3, did not want to work, so, I deleted all of the accounts and recreated them back under pop3, in that process I seem to have lost all of my mail folders. Is there a way to get them back? I have deleted and recreated accounts before and not had this problem. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Your messages might still be there in your Thunderbird profile folder.
    You could create a new account and then point to the folder that already exists.

  • Installed firefox on two machines and created sync account on one. The other one does not sync

    I just freshly installed the latest Firefox on two machines. Created a new account on one of them and started to download some add-ons and changed the preferences, then got to the other and signed in. It finished syncing but none of my changes were applied to the second machine.

    Right now the add-ons got synced but the customization I did to the looks of it did not.
    These customizations are: moving the home button right next to the back button and removing the search bar.
    Conclusion: it takes a while(about an hour!!!!!) to sync these stuff, at least that is what happened with me though my connection was normal and not slow at all.

    Given you have a backup you may want to think about erasing the hard drive and reinstalling Snow Leopard then restore your backup.

    It's hidden. Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and supply that path to access it.

  • If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

    If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

    I have a couple or dozen or so excel spread shheets that I use origionally created in M/s Excel v.5.0 ( yup some time ago although have run and updated them on office 2007  perfectly etc.  AND numerous word files that I refer to. I have also run these files using Open Office on a small 13" mac Book Pro. successfully.
       I have now decided to change my personal use computers > macs.
    Ok, so in summary then i think you kind guys are saying:
    (1) That if i buy Pages & Numbers or even iworks which is Apple's suite of such programs i believe, then I can download and Run these apps /programs on each my personal  mac computers whether they be my second hand Imac or second hand 17" mac book pro. ( basically i have purchased these so that I am converting to the "Apple Side" and can use the Imac desktop while at home and Mac book pro when out and about) , under the one purchase and one licence.
    (2) The decision as to whether to Buy M/s Office for Mac v Pages & Numbers or the iworks suite is that if I have lots of MACROs in my existing files written in M/soft that it would be better to go for M/s Office for Mac. I understand that Macros are the automated thingys ?? I have formulae obviously inthe fairly simple spread sheets but not aware of any macros. So I guess that means ~ I could purchase either product by the sounds of it. yes? Are there any other obvious things i need to consider?
    Other INFO:
    Also, I have snow leopard on one system and Maveric ( pretty impresive!) on the other. i am slightly reluctant to upgrade the snow leopard o/s as I would have to upgrade the paralles software and probably Windows software as well in order to run an old Kitchen, drawing program that I use occaisionally. I know that one should be able to partition / and Boot camp but I really don't want to do that. I feel at this stage its not worth payingtoi up grade all these bits of software for something I rarely use. But I am open to anyones comments / views.
    Thanks.

    Yes. You can set the payment method to "None" once you log into iTunes on your PC/Mac. I have it set up this way.

  • I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

    I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem. Uninstalled it. Still have the problem with Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then?  That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

  • I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

    I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

    Unfortunately, adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 available for download, as far as i know, so your best bet is to either get an usb dvd drive or use an computer with a dvd drive and copy the contents of the pse 6 dvd to somethiing like
    a flash drive and then copy the contents from that drive to your new computer.
    Do you still have your older mac and it has a dvd drive?
    You can share files between the two using airdrop or an ethernet cable.

  • Previously installed Aperture3 on an iMac and a MBP. I Bought a new MBA to replace the MBP and I want to install Aperture3 on the new MBA.  The installer says the serial code is invalid? What do I do?

    I previously bought Aperture 3 and installed in on an iMac and a MBP.  I just bought a new MBA to replace the MBP, but the MBA doesn't have enough memory for me to do a complete restore of the MBP on the MBA.  So I am trying to find a way to deactivate the serial code or Aperture 3 on the MBP so I can reinstall Aperture 3 on the MBA.  I have been searching forums and google and I have not been any answers.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    How did you buy Aperture? Did you buy it from the App Store? Then you can download it again on your MBA, if you sign into the App Store.
    If you bought Aperture buy buying a licence key to unlock the trial, try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number:
    http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
    And if you own the boxed DVD installer , use the DVD to install Aperture on your MBA. If the installer does not work - and you get the message
    "check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X"
    you may have a problem with an expired developer certificate (they expired mid march).
    To fix this, set the Date  in " SystemPreferences -> Date&Time" to a date well before March 2012 and run the Installer again. If that succeeds and Aperture now runs, reset the date to the current date.
    You can see your serial number in the "About" panel in the main Aperture menu bar on your MBP:
    Aperture > About Aperture.
    For the "invaldid serial number" see these links: You may have read the letters incorrectly - some are look alike, "1" or "I", "0" or "O"; your shift-lock key may be set.

    I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast.
    Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue when I rebooted. Here is the problem:
    Every other time I boot the MacBook it hangs at a grey screen with the prohibitory sign. Verbose reveals a "still waiting for root device" error. Now if I reboot from that hang, it boots fine, but then will hang again the next time. It keeps alternating like this. Any ideas??
    I am not running any third party trim software, so that's not the issue.
