Restore Outlook/emails and settings

Hi.
I have an old system and a new system.
I am running outlook 2010.
Currently on my old system I have a few POP3 email accounts and also lots of emails in seperate folders (sorted by the rule filter).
I backed up the outlook to a .pst and then imported this on the new machine.
Great, I have my emails etc...!
Problem: When I create my email account again on the new machine, it seems to want to download all the emails again.
How can I prevent this from happening and just to "continue" as normal?
Maybe something I need to set up/configure on the POP3 provider?
Thanks!

Look in the Deleted Items folder. Note that each mail account has one
and there is another under storage folders for newsgroups and messages
deleted from storage folders.
If not there, and you don't have any backups, your only chance is an
Undelete utility looking for EML files. The longer you wait and the
more activity on the PC the less likely the Undelete utility will find
the message that you want.

Accidentally restore old profile and have now lost emails and settings; where can I find them?

Whilst trying to save a profile, I accidentally restored an old one. Now I cannot access the emails and settings. Are they stored somewhere, or completely deleted when restoring a profile?

When you replace one file with another, what usually happens when an old profile is restored (especially when the accounts are the same). Then you have replaced your mail with another version. You olny option are your personal backups, Thunderbird does not store any information in "the cloud"

My iMessage and Facetime won't activate, says waiting for activation. All photos and contacts are restored, using email and wifi only, no service. Only issue is date and time will not automatically set.

Howdy eewebe13,
So you have no cellular service but are on Wi-Fi yet iMessage and Facetime are waiting for activation.
Please step through this article for that scenario.

How do I restore my email and email settings?

I messed up my email preferences while trying to get my outbound mail to send. The Roadrunner tech had me set up a new account (which wiped out most of my inbox) and then couldn't get me fixed. I'd like to restore my email preferences and my email inbox. sent , etc from earlier today before I messed them up. Couldn't figure out how to do that with Time Machine open : couldn't figure out how to navigate to email preferences without the Finder menus, nor how to restore the status of the program earlier in the day. Any pointers? Thanks. Bill

Copy it or drag it to the Desktop so that it's no longer there, making sure Mail is closed when you do this, and then restore the same folder from Time Machine.
This is essentially to make sure that we have the data you have now still there as well as nothing to complicate an overwrite when we bring them back from TM.

How do I copy my current Firefox Bookmarks and emails and settings in order to recopy them to a reinstalled Firefox later on

I am having problems with Windows Media Player and have tried all suggested options to sort it out. It was installed on my laptop when I bought it in Sept 2012 and is now causing problems that I can't resolve. In checking the player defaults and troubleshooting I discovered that the fie was created oin 21 Jan 2013, the same date I downloaded Real Player. This should have been Sept 2012 when I bought the computer. Has Real Player caused a conflict? = I don't know.
I now see no way out except restoring Windows 7 from the recovery disks made when I bought the computer or maybe downloading a new version of Win Media Player .
If I do a restore then I will lose my Thunderbird emails and my Bookmarks on Firefox - I would like to avoid this, if possible. Please let me know how and from where I can copy these and how I can upload/ recopy them when I am up and running with my reinstalled Windows 7.

hello, please refer to [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. the same information also applies to thunderbird, which profile usually resides in %appdata%\Thunderbird\Profiles.

I am using the Good for Enterprise app to synch my outlook email and when I try to turn on ICloud to synch my music in ITunes I get a warning that I will not be able to synch my Iphone 4S with my computer. Does this mean my office PC or home Mac?

I am using Good For Enterprise on my Iphone 4s to connect with my Office PC Outlook email system. I am having trouble synching my Itunes music from my Mac at home with my IPhone 4s. I am considering using ICloud to share the music as I also have an IPad2. When I go to turn on the ICloud application, I get a message that alerts me to the fact I will no longer be able to synch with my computer. Does that mean with my Office PC and my Outlook email, or my Mac and my home email and other applications? I want to use the ICloud but don't want to screw up my Good for Enterprise application and connectivity with my Office PC and Outlook email. What should I do to be able to update all my tunes and photos on my IPhone 4S and IPad2 from my Mac?

I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.

Outlook email and iPhone 5 issues

I receive my outlook emails, but when I open/delete my email in Outlook, it doesn't sync to my iPhone 5. The setting is on push, but it's not syncing. Please help!

Is this Outlook account an Exchange account? Is it an IMAP account, or it is a POP account. Push does not matter if it is not an Exchange account, and it will only sync between the computer (Outlook) and the phone if it is an Exchange or IMAP account. POP mail will not sync with another email client.

Outlook email and my sprint centro

I have just recently started using outlook to view my email, and my centro no longer receives email with sprint mobile email. I figured out how to sync outlook through the conduit,but still have no calendar. Now I cannot get my older,or newer, email to come through on my phone. Having access to emails on the go is one of the main functions I use on the palm for my job. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Your Centro should have come with VersaMail, a program that can sync directly with your Exchange Server. Actually, I'm not sure your account is on an Exchange Server. If it is, VersaMail will sync Mail/Contacts/Calendar.

Windows 7, Outlook email and iphone

Now that I have an iphone, my outlook will not send/receive email. I've called my cable company, they say the emial is fine. I send the test message, can't find my incoming, however the test message is sent to my iphone.
I NEED, really really NEED, to have my email in both places.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks

A lot of this depends on the type of email account that you are provided by your ISP. I'll assume that is what you are using since you mention the cable company. If you have a POP3 account, that is designed to be accessed by a single email client, either the phone, or Outlook on the computer. If the iPhone is set to delete the mail on the server, and you pick the mail up on the iPhone, it will not be able to be picked up by Outlook. That is the design of the account. However, if the account can be accessed as IMAP, then it is designed to be accessed by multiple clients and is kept in sync on all of them.
If it is POP3, you can set it up to be seen on both, but it can be a little difficult, especially if you have both clients set to pick up mail automatically at specific intervals. Find out what kind of account you have first.
On the other note, I'm not sure why you cannot send mail in Outlook, unless you have some settings wrong, and that you would have to take up with your provider. I've explained the receiving part.

How to restore mail accounts and settings from time machine

Long story short...the day that my applecare expired my hard drive went out in my 2009 mbp. So, I bought a new hard drive to upgrade from 250gb to 750gb. Problem was that when I installed it and went through everything...my new hard drive was too large than the computer was made to handle. I called Apple Care and they made an exception and talked with me - which revealed that the hd was too big. His suggestion was to try to intall the os from the disk and see if it will work. So, I popped in my Leopard Install disc...did all the updates...then snow leopard...then all the updates....then Lion...then all the updates. I ended up getting all of my main files that I wanted, along with my iTunes account (my iCal and Address book were synced to my cloud, so they popped up quickly). HOWEVER...I'm trying to get my work email account (along with the folders of old emails) back in mail. I can't seem to find the right file (I don't see a mail plist file in my preferences folder). Can anyone help please???

For posterity's sake, since i had this issue too, i thought i'd post my solution.
Locate and save a copy, locally on your computer, of a library.itl file that would contain the playlist you need. I'd suggest saving to your desktop. name it so you'll recognize it as the old library file.
Quit iTunes if open, and relaunch, holding down the Option key immediately after
when prompted, select "Choose Library"
Find the file you saved in step 1. this will launch iTunes with all the old playlists and such. Don't worry, it doesn't touch the actual songs themselves, so nothing is lost of from your current library.
Find the playlist(s) you want, right click on them and export. save them as .txt file (again, suggest desktop for ease)
Once all playlists you want to restore are saved, quit iTunes.
Launch iTunes, again pressing Option immediately after
Select "Choose Library" and select the Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Library.itl file. This will restore iTunes to the most current copy of your library
Select File -> Library -> Import Playlist and find the .txt file for your playlist on your desktop. et voila!

Recover outlook emails and contacts

My friend's Notebook crashed and I told him that I would recover everthing off of the hard drive. I installed the HDD into my computer and now I am trying to recover his e-mail addressses from outlook. There was no backup file made (.pst file) so I am
stuck! Is there a way for me to recover his outlook e-mail addresses?

Hi John,
Sorry, if you don’t have Outlook PST File then there is no any way to get back those data from HD (Outlook).
Scanpst.exe and any third party recovery software only works in the case when you have a backup of PST File. (As it works only on corrupted and deleted items of Outlook).
But, you should go with Karl’s suggestion and once check the hidden files.
At last, there is only one solution to revert back those emails which is downloading the entire data (email via using an IMAP account) from the server by creating a new PST in Microsoft Outlook.

Taking an Outlook email and auto-filling into Sharepoint List

I am trying to figure out a way to set up a rule in my outlook that when certain emails come into outlook, it auto populate a partially filled out workflow into Sharepoint 2010. Is this even possible? If so what would be the best way to make this
happen? Thank you!

Hi,
From your description, you would like workflow on SharePoint side to be triggered by new coming emails in Outlook(on Exchange side).
As workaround, you could create inbox rule for receiving messages and forward them to SharePoint list which has incoming email feature configured. Then create workflow and associate it with items in this list.

Lost Outlook emails and folders when upgrading 2013 Office

I updated my microsoft office 2003 to Office 2013 yesterday. When I opened Outlook 2013 for the first time after installing, all my emails were gone as well as the folders. How do I get all the emails back that I appeared to have lost as well as the folders
(which I used for different clients of mine). Currently I can send and receive emails just fine with my 2013 outlook, but all my old emaisl/folders are gone. Can some one please help.

Hi,
Which account type are you using with your Outlook 2013? IMAP, POP3 or Exchange?
Do you mean the folder you created under your Inbox disappear from the folder pane? If I’ve misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.
First, please check if you can see the missing folders and emails from web access.
In addition, have you import your old pst file to your Outlook 2013? If not, please find the old .pst file and import it to Outlook 2013 using the steps listed in the following article:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/import-outlook-items-from-an-outlook-data-file-pst-HA102919679.aspx
Hope this helps.
