Trying to migrate OE local folders to TB

Details on how to accomplish-not only the folders but the contents

Export or save the messages in OE to a set of eml files in some folder in Explorer. Next, create a folder in TB under Local Folders, then drag the eml files from the Explorer folder and drop them in the TB folder.

    Does someone has a tip for further troubleshooting this issue?

    Hi,
    There are a lot of corrupted items. You can try raising the baditemlimit to 999 to workaround this issue
    Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Set-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -baditemlimit 100
    To resumed the PublicFolderMigrationRequest
    Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Resume-PublicFolderMigrationRequest
    Thanks,

  • Trying to migrate mail folders

    I have an iMac and I use apple mail with 2 mail accounts (plus iCloud). In the older account I have many saved mail folders that I want to either migrate to iCloud or my other new account. Can this be done? If so, how?

    I tried to migrate information from MacBook Air to ...Pro and it seemed to have taken files from folders on desktop as none exist on Air now.  As to where these files are, I don't know.  It has also taken my pictures from iPhoto to unknown destination. ??

    If you used migration assistant then it probably created a new Login user and placed the migrated files under it.

  • Changed server name, lost all local folders

    Greetings,
    Recently my hosting company migrated me to a new server. Thing is, not only is a new server, but also new name. This AM I figured I had to finally address the issue so I made what I've come to learn is a mistake - I went into Tools -> Account Settings and changed the name of the server from "A" to "B". Oops. The account is an IMAP account, and has been for years.
    This probably wouldn't be a big deal, but at the same time, something very odd happened - all of my LOCAL folders disappeared. So figured ok, something screwy happened I'll just go find the files. Not that easy...
    - If I search my hard drive for the name of a folder that was in the local folders, the search turns up empty. The folders appear to just be gone. Checked recycling bin, nothing there.
    - I went into Thunderbird to see where local folders are kept. Easy enough: D:\xxxxx\Mail\Local Folders. Went looking there. Mostly empty. What IS there has 0kB. Considering I have (well... had?) about 15-20 years of email stored, this isn't likely.
    - I even scanned the drives with both Recuva and VirtualLabs Data Recovery. Both turned up nothing for the missing folders.
    I tried looking through the support sites, and tried a few of the "obvious" solutions:
    - View has both "messages" and "threads" set to "all".
    - I've restored a pref.js file from a few days ago
    So I'm stumped. Am I missing somewhere that I should be looking? Am I missing a solution?
    Version of Thunderbird is 31.6.0.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Matt,
    Thanks for the quick response. I agree that it would seem like two different issues, but... coincidence?
    The server migration in question was supposed to be seamless. I believe the servers were mirrored for a time, and then the original server was shut down. This is supported by the fact that my mailboxes on the "B" server were all in tact, including the entire IMAP folder tree (about 20-30 sub folders within the inbox). Those folder did not disappear with the migration/server name change.
    As for the "local folders"... I was/am very certain they were indeed local, but I tried to find some evidence. I was intermittently using Mailstore Home to run mail backups, and looking in there, I see all the missing folders, and they are indeed "local folders". Not IMAP subfolders.
    Thanks again!

  • FireFox images not loading in local folders (firebug error-Failed to load given URL)

    I am having difficulty when developing websites in local folders (Windows7 computer). The webpages I make are showing images in IE9 & Chrome but not FireFox (nor Safari nor Opera).
    In FireFox I get Firebug "Failed to load given URL" prompt.
    I am using html5 & external linked css stylesheet & the html/html5 & css code validates.
    I have tried using rel path ie images/image.gif & absolute path references ie C:/RPD_Programming/RPD WEB/amwcsnew/index.html
    and have tried using % to eliminate whitespace in references but I cannot get FireFox to display images!!
    This has been a problem for me for around 2 weeks now & is very frustrating. Some website code/templates I have downloaded from the internet display the websites properly (ie load images fine) when I open them locally in FireFox. Why does my code not allow the images to load in FireFox (paths/permissions/other issue??). How can I fix this?
    Here is example css & html5 not displaying images from local directory in FireFox (fine in IE9 & Chrome):
    style.css
    /* CSS Document */
    /*Basic Reset*/
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    html{

    NB
    Is there a FireFox guide/manual in pdf format available anywhere? I have not found one yet & a FireFox reference might be useful!

    You need to use file:// as the protocol instead of C:/. The latter may never work (C:\ might).
    Where is the main HTML located ?
    Easiest if to store the images in a sub folder of the location because you can't go back via ../ beyond that root location for security reasons.

  • My local folders appear to be in the trash folder, how do i move them?

    I recently got a new PC and migrated my email folders. Since then I have noticed many emails seem to have disappeared when I look for them in trash or sent. I just noticed that my local folders appear to be in the trash folder: when I minimize "trash" they disappear. I'm thinking this may be the reason I keep losing emails but I can't figure out how this happened or to move the folders out of the trash.

    No problem Bob...glad to be of assistance. To change the titles, you can either do this also when you have selected File>Get Info & then select on the "Info" tab or by clicking on the title of each Movie/TV Show in your library.

  • Syncronization: How can i store mail for different accounts remotely, and copy most important mails manually to local folders on two devices?

    Hello. I have two devices and two accounts, so what i want is this:
    I only want to store mail from both accounts in a remote place and copy most important mails to local folders.
    (I will be grateful for any ideas as to where/how this "cloud" can be - specially free places)
    * Can I have a copy of these local folders in both devices and the remote storage?
    * Could i synchronize devices so that: when i move a mail to a local folder in any device, its copied to the same folders in
    the other device and the remote storage place?
    * The remote storage place will have many other folders. When I open Thunderbird, I also want to see these and the mail
    inside, and also be able to move mail from the inbox to these folders.
    * One of the accounts is gmail. In Account Setting tool, there is an option for synchronization. If there is no easier way, I can have mail for other account copied to gmail, and just syncronize gmail mail. For this, how will I copy my present folder structure to gmail. And how can I syncronize the local folders on the two devices?
    Thanks in advance.

    The first awkwardness I see is that there's no obvious format in which to store messages remotely such that you can work with them in an email client. It may be possible to set the "Local Directory" option in the account in Thunderbird to point at some remote folder (DropBox comes to mind) but I have never tried this and I'd be nervous about what happens if connection can't be made, or if you happened to access it from two different places simultaneously. The other concern is that mail stores get big, quickly, and you'd be forever uploading and downloading large (multi gigabyte) files. Thunderbird stores what looks like a folder containing many separate messages as one big file, so there's no simple opportunity for incremental changes to be up/down loaded.
    The whole idea of Local Folders in Thunderbird is to detach messages from servers, so they don't track what happens on servers. I say this to point out the distinction between files stored locally and permanently ("Local Folders"), versus cached copies of online files ("synchronized"). It's not safe to regard your synchronized folders as permanent.
    So, synchronized folders on an IMAP server are "mirrored" in Thunderbird so you do have a local (albeit temporary and transient) copy of messages; this is done mainly to avoid repeatedly downloading messages if you re-read them, and it makes searching faster an more efficient. But these "synchronized" message track what's being done on the server, and so if they are deleted anywhere, all synchronized devices will at some point also see the deleted messages vanishing. (Unless you made a local copy in the Local Folders account.)
    I use a gmail account pretty much as you have described; I copy or move messages to that account so they are visible in my phone, my tablet, my own laptop and my works computer. It's free, and it's "in the cloud"; the only reservation I have is its privacy. There are other providers (e.g. 1&1/gmx) who don't seem to have the data collection fetish that google thrives on.
    It's fairly simple to create filters in Thunderbird to automatically copy messages to your "cloud account"; even better is to set up forwarding rules on the other accounts' servers, so your messages are automatically sent on and waiting for you when you next login, already in the cloud account.

  • Is there a way to recover messages after they've been moved from local folders to an IMAP account, which deleted them after they were moved?

    I was trying to get Thunderbird to access my Hotmail account through IMAP instead of POP, so I moved all my messages from the account to "Local Folders", then I removed the POP account and created the new IMAP one. After that I started to move messages into the IMAP account, but I ran into some trouble when the server wouldn't want to accept all the messages I was uploading and it would stop.
    So, I decided to move everything from "Local Folders" into the IMAP account while Thunderbird was offline, once it finished, I went online and instead of uploading the newly found messages in my IMAP account to the server, it decided to delete the messages. I guess because the actual online account contained no files so it wanted to synchronise and make my offline folder to also contain no files.
    In short, never try this. It's a disaster. And, I know I should've made a back up prior to trying this, it's just that Thunderbird is usually very reliable, it never occurred to me.
    I still have the MBOX and MSF files, but even though they contain information, no extension can extract it.
    Could anyone, please, help me out?

    Hi,
    I had tried using that very same extension right after messing things up, but it hadn't worked because I deleted the original folders as well.
    Then I tried doing a System Restore (luckily, Windows had decided to do an automatic one the night before), but still the missing emails weren't showing.
    A while after that I saw your suggestion and it hit me that I had not tried it after doing the System Restore, so I tried it and all messages were flooding back just like magic.
    Thank you very much for your help! I'm very happy right now.

  • Is there a way of sharing received emails in the LAN? I mean, like the local folders but pointing to shared SAMBA folders.

    I work in a small company where every receive email is classified, stored and shared with everyone. This is implemented with M.S. Exchange shared folders. However, I am trying to get rid of the Exchange Server, install Ubuntu in every terminal and just use google as email server. What I did so far is to share some folders with SAMBA and point everyone's Thunderbird "Local Folders" to them, and this seems to be working well, but the problem is that Thunderbird Local Folders weren't meant to be shared. Actually, if someone adds any email to the folders the other people won't see any changes unless they restart Thunderbird. Also, as Thunderbird stores emails in mbox, when someone is seeing any email belonging to some folder, that folder gets blocked and other people are not allowed to see it.
    Is there a way in Thunderbird of sharing emails in realtime in the LAN? That would be a very useful tool for teamwork.

    Your coming at this from the wrong end.
    It is implemented by Exchange. In Outlook.
    So you need
    It is implemented by XXX. In Thunderbird.
    That is you need a server solution to the issue. You could get some if it using IMAP mail accounts but a real solution is probably a far better solution and shared calendars are a real boon I think.
    One that I think has some merit is http://www.sogo.nu/ but Zimbra is also worth a look http://www.zimbra.com/products/ I know very little about either product, so do your own due diligence.
    Those are certainly not the only exchange replacement packages available as this google search demonstrates http://www.google.com.au/webhp?nord=1#newwindow=1&nord=1&q=exchange+replacement&safe=off

  • My laptop crashed. I have the disk (intact). How do I find and move the inbox files (not local folders) of my three pop3 accounts to the new laptop?

    Old laptop had Thunderbird. THe laptop stopped working, so I took the C drive (SATA disk) and and plugged that to a USB port.
    New laptop has Thunderbird installed, local folders have been restored. The inbox contents are missing (I use the option "download from server", so the recent correspondence is there.
    I have three POP3 accounts, so I am trying to identify the location of three separate "inbox" and "Sent" folders, and add them to the new installation.
    Where are those files stored, and what would be the simple way to restore them on the new laptop?

    So this seemed to result in the outcome I wanted:
    - Find the old Thunderbird profile location (.../AppData/Roaming ... THunderbird/Profiles/...default/Mail/first.account.domain/Inbox
    - FInd the same location on the New laptop
    Copy the first (old, backup) inbox to a new file in the New profile folder; I did Inbox.bak
    Start TBird - and lo and behold, I have folders "Inbox" (recent mail since the old laptop crash) and "Inbox.bak" (the mail I thought was lost).
    Looks like I need to add all accounts to the New TBird first so that it creates the profiles, and after that copy the backup Inbox & Sent files to the new profile folders.
    This worked for me. Not very elegant, with several manual steps, but end result is what I needed.
    It would be great if there was a smoother way for disaster recovery.
    And yes, I should have had better backup policy in place. For everyone's benefit - I do Data Center systems for a living, and have seen far too many "backup" services which do not actually work in a restore situation. That's why my personal backups are direct file copies on large disks. It works, but leaves room for manual error, which is what happened here.
    Actual folders, btw, I keep where I see them - "c:\users\username\Thunderbird" - for this very reason.

  • Apple Mail 8.0 does not display email body for local folders

    Last week I upgraded to Yosemite on a 2013 Mac Air. The upgrade went smoothly, but now I notice that all my mail on my local folders (i.e., not my gmail account) is missing the content of the message. New mail filed after the upgrade displays fine and messages filed prior to the upgrade that were sent from me, display fine, but all mail received and filed before the upgrade is blank except for the header. I tried to move a message thinking it might force Mail to identify a problem...and it does. It gives me the message "The message '<MESSAGE TITLE>' could not be moved to the mailbox '<DESTINATION FOLDER>'. Couldn't load body for <MFLibraryMessage:0x600000584780, library id:2172 conversationID:1224 mailbox:2010 <SOURCE FOLDER>"
    I have scoured the web for solutions, and there are similar symptoms regarding Apple Mail and IMAP accounts, but my IMAP mailboxes display fine.
    I made a TimeMachine back up before the upgrade, so I could restore the old OSX (Mountain Lion) and try again, but I'd love to find an easier solution.

    Hi there,
    ok now I found a solution:
    Navigate to the folder which contains the local mailboxes as MBOX-Files. ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes/
    Locate the MBOX-file which contains the messages which are not displayed.
    In my case I tried to access mails from "Empfangen" and "Gesendet" so I copied over those two MBOX-files to the desktop.
    Now go to mail.app and select import message box
    In the following context menu select "import files from Apple Mail" (cuz Apple Mail MBOX-files are not standard MBOX format)
    Import the content.
    After import drag your messages from the imported folder to the original folder.
    done!
    I hope that helps someone who has the same problem.
    Greetings

  • Trying to migrate to a new computer - major problems

    Hi, I'm posting this for my friend Cindy who is trying to migrate from an old laptop to a new PC. Laptop: Vista PC: Windows 7, both 64 bit.
    She called me after moving some files around and being partially successful. The problem is that a few thousand photos are missing and cannot be found. I've searched her internal and external hard drives and cannot locate the files on either computer. I do believe they are gone.
    What we're trying to figure out is this: How can she take everything that is on her laptop and migrate it properly to the PC. The catch here is that the laptop is messed up too because of trying to move things around.
    So, is there any way to get PS Lightroom to scan the catalog and then search the whole computer (c: and g: drives) for the missing files, and then export them into a new catalog that is properly organized? I realize that's a tall order but we are grasping at straws here.
    Thanks for your time, and feel free to point me in the right direction rather than answer the questions explicitly.
    Ryan (via Cindy's account)

    You need to supply more information:
    1) What version of LR is installed on the old laptop, and what version on the new desktop?
    2) Are the "few thousand missing photos" showing up in LR on the new desktop, but with '?' symbol in the thumbnails? If so double-click the '?' to display the laptop file location path where LR thinks the files are.
    3) What is the 'G:' drive letter (external drive?) and has anything been deleted from the G: or C: drives?
    4) Was there more than one (1) Lightroom catalog created on the laptop? If so where were the catalogs saved?
    This link will be helpful in locating LR files and folders:

    Do NOT open any applications on the laptop other than Windows File Explorer, to prevent overwriting any possibly deleted files.

  • Migrate forms with folders with FormDefUtil

    Hi,
    I'm trying to migrate forms using FormDefUtil.cmd, to an empty directory tree under my Planning application (new created application in DEV environment).
    When I import all forms using "FormDefUtil import -all localhost admin planning", it puts all, or most forms under the root directory, without creating the directory tree.
    Is there a way for the utility, or LCM, to pre-create the directory tree? I'd like to use the utility, because we've had issues with using parentheses () in forms names, and they aren't coming over in LCM.
    Thanks in advance,
    Zach

    As Abhishek said, create your folder structure in the target environment and import.
    Also if you have duplicate named folders look at where your forms import after the fact as they seem to go to one folder or the other not the folder they were in structurally; we logged the folder issue as an SR FYI.
    Good to know about parenthesis and LCM -- it also doesn't like ampersands for certain items e.g. Essbase filter names.
