Tons of messages in tons of folders to move--how to do without crashing?

Hi all,
I've imported a bunch of my old mailboxes, some with 7k+ messages in them total, each with many, many subdirectories (here's a screenshot: http://www.alecquig.com/mailproblem.png). Is there a script or another way to move all of these messages into one folder? Many of these folders are full of dupes, and to run Mail Scripts to find ALL my dupes, all the messages have to be located in the same folder.
If anyone knows, it would help me out a bunch!
Thanks!
Alec

Hi Scott + all,
Here's what my problem looks like: http://www.alecquig.com/mail.png
I have literally thousands of messy sub-directories from importing, exporting, and re-importing my library over the years. It would take months to go through each folder and copy manually. I'd like to collapse the folder ("Stuff") into one without all the sub-directories, while retaining all the messages. Then I can run the "Remove Duplicates" script in MailScripts and I can finally back this all up properly.
Does anyone know of a script, or another way to solve this? Could I make a smart folder in finder containing all the messages in my library and then move them all to somewhere so I can ditch the folders and retain only the messages?
Thank you!!
Alec

  • Inbound queue with tons of messages in status- RUNNING

    Hi Experts,
    We have a issue there are tons of messages in inbound queue in status-RUNNING and it is too slow!, hence there are more messages getting in the queue every minute.
    This is Production enviorment.
    We have priority queues
    QIN is waiting status.
    De-register will not work due to loss of messages fear
    Please advice

    Hi Priya,
    The Q status is Executing forever, then there could be a dead lock inside IE, in processing the message and the system went into infinite loop. There is no otherway other than stopping(Lock immediately) the Q, and then unlocking it.
    Also try  deleting the redundant Enqueue process on Abap stack (rz10), and defining two enqueue processes “enserver.exe” on java stack – one for ASCS, and one for SCS. You can find more information in installation guide for your XI type.

    Go to Solution.

    From your home screen go to Profiles -> scroll down to Advanced -> highlight the active profile and click menu button and select Edit -> select your Message (desktop, yahoo, gmail etc.) and hit the trackball -> Out of holster: Tone, Tune: Select your preferred one, Volume: select high/medium/low. Hit the Menu button and Save the changes.

  • Trying to find a specific message alert tone.

    Hi all,
    Firstly, I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to things remotely techy lol.
    I recently had a E71 which unfortunatel was lost. I have replaced this with an N97.
    However, my favorite message alert tone on the E71, which I'm pretty sure was "message alert tone 3" is not available on the N97, and frankly, I dont like any of the tones on the N97.
    I have tried in vain to find it on the internet to download, but to no avail.
    Can anybody help please.
    Thanks.

    u can copy your messege tone from ur nokia e71 for this u must have a third party app dr.jukka´s y-browser best for u coz it´s free... then serach the ringtone directory which can b the z: drive or it can b differ depend on the phone... on my e55 the location of tones are z:\data\sounds\digital. try it on ur mobile. after finding that u can send it through ur mobile bluetooth. for this u must have installed bluetooth utility which is also free from jukka´s.

  • 8310 4.5 upgrade - no message alert tone

    Hi
    I upgraded my 8310 with the 4.5 software and ever since I have not been able to get my message alert tone to work, I have gone into profiles advanced menu and checked nothing as been changed except I dont get the tone?
    Can anyone help!
    I also had a message at the time of the upgrade informing me a fatal error had been made, but everything seems ( with the exception of above) to be working?
    Thanks

    Well that's probably your problem. It seems to me that upgrading to 4.5 is producing strange little problems for lots of people. I gather you downloaded a 4.5 from a carrier other than your own? In my opinion I would revert back to my original OS and wait for my carrier to release it. But if you don't want to wait I suggest you downgrade to the last OS from your carrier and then try the upgrade again.

  • Changing message alert tone?

    OK, I want to customise my message alert tone to a sound that I want - not one of the defaults that the phone offers. Is there anyway to do this without jail-breaking? Considering this is an integral feature that has been part of phone's that were created back in the stone age, I'd find it ludicrous that this isn't plausible with the iPhone, considering that we're now up to the fourth model it surely should have been something that's been considered.

    "OK, I want to customise my message alert tone to a sound that I want "
    Not a feature of iphone.
    Sorry.

  • Message alert tones

    Morning.
    I want to define my own message alert tone. How can I do that? I've learned, it is possible to create my own ring tones. But I do not find an approach to modify the list of predefined alert »melodies« given by Apple. But all of Apple's sounds are very obtrusively. Instead of that, I want to have a very reluctant »toc-toc« or something like that. But how can I install such sound on my iPhone?
    TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

    for some reason apple absolutely refuses to give us this option... people have been submitting feedback since the iPhone was launched in 2007 and all they did this past update or two ago is add a bunch more of there own tones instead of giving us the ability
    make sure you leave feedback

  • Message Alert tone/ringtone stopped working?

    My iPhone's message alert tone/ringtone has stopped working. My iphone4 firmware has been upgraded
    to 5.1.1.  i've also reset the phone, but it didn't resolve the issue.  Pls. Help... thanks...

    My alerts sounds work briefly after a restart. Then at some point (can't say how much time passes with certainty) they no longer work. The volume adjustment sound is gone as well as the alert sounds such as an incoming mail message.
    A restart temporarily returns the sounds. I've zapped PRAM but that doesn't solve the problem.

    Is there an solution?

    Did you mean that you're getting tone for Messages/email in your H700C bluetooth headset? I Blackberry use HS-655+ Wireless Headset which don't give me such prompts through my headset.

  • Message Notification Tones Broken

    Hi,
    Don't know if anybody has experienced this. The notification tones in messaging/email apps are broken; meaning there is a break while playing the tone. Either there is an annoying 'click' at the beginning, which is mostly the case, or the tone 'breaks' sometime in the middle while playing.
    I've tried disabling the sound enhancements and different combinations too, but it happens almost all the time during every notification; SMS, Whatsapp, etc. I am on .757. Was happening on .681 too. Not that it is a major issue, but it is quite annoying.
    Anybody aware of this problem?
    Thanks.

    It would be worth having the files reinstalled via a software repair:
    1. Download the PC Companion software from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
    and install it on your PC.
    2. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
    3. Phone Software Update.
    4. Start.
    5. Repair Phone
    6. Continue
    7. Accept data removal
    8. Next
    9. Wait for prepare
    10. Select Phone
    11. Follow the connection steps

  • Why does the message alert tone repeats itself more than once?

  • Personalized message allert tone

    Hi, want to find out if I can change/personalized my own allert for SMS and email ? Is it even available on LUMIA 925 & if a ailable, how ? Cause all I can find is the boring SMS alert tones which were stored by Nokia on the phone. Please help me

    To use personalised SMS tones and individual SMS tones you will need the GDR3 update from Microsoft as it includes that feature.
    The update is due to roll out later this year or early next but a preview version is available now directly from Microsoft that works very well.

  • How do I use a voice memo as a ring tone or an alert tone?

    How do I use a voice memo as a ring tone or an alert tone?

    Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.
    In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.
    Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.
    Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.
    Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)
    On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r
    Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.
    Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.
    If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
    Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I see the message in my hotmail folders?

    When I click on one of my folders in hotmail, I get the message" No message selected" . But when I go to on my laptop to folders in hotmail, I can see my messages in the selected folder. Why can't I see them on my iPad. My daughter in-law has got iPad 2 and she can see her messages in her hotmail folders.
    Anneke.

    Try quitting the mail app completely and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, reset your iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
