Unable to Archive Message Imported from Previous Profile

During the setup of a new computer, I copied my old profile into a new installation of Thunderbird by manually moving all mail folders from the old profile folder into the new profile folder.
I have found that I am unable to use the archive mail feature on any e-mail that was originally received under the old profile. The keyboard shortcut does not work, the archive button is not displayed with the message, and the menu option is disabled.
Any messages received after I setup Thunderbird are able to archive properly.

I have discovered the issue:
I was looking through the "Inbox" mailbox file, trying to find differences between messages that I could archive and those that I could not.
I found a difference between some of the messages in their headers. The header "X-Account-Key:" was set to "account2" for the messages I could not archive and "account10" for the messages i could archive.
I updated the messages with "account2" to "account10" and opened up Thunderbird. I went to the messages I could not previously archive, and found they are now able to be archived.

  • Firefox hangs at start. A new profile with a copy of my bookmarks and other files, from previous profile starts OK. At next start I have to setup a new profile. Since June 2010 in Ubuntu, with automatic update.

    Hi,
    My firefox-profiles in Ubuntu, are practically one-timers.
    Next time i want to use firefox it hangs at start. The window comes up
    and it's white, except for a square in upper left corner (without color).
    I'm having this problem since June 2010, when I started using an electronic ID,
    for access to Swedish goverment organisations. The Electronic ID (BnakID) is
    supported in Windows, Mac and Ubuntu. I had a new installation of Ubuntu, in a
    virtual machine at that time.
    I can't say that this is a problem with Firefox in Ubuntu or some other
    combination, I'm a newbie with Ubuntu and BankID.
    I've used been using Firefox and installing (Firebird, Mozilla) since 2001,
    in other OS:es than Ubuntu (Solaris, RedHat, Windows and SLED).
    My workaround are:
    - cd ~/.mozilla/firefox
    - mv profiles.ini profiles.ini-
    - Start and stop firefox
    - Copy some files from previous profile, to the new.
    cd <previous>.default
    cp -r bookmark* cert8.db content-prefs.sqlite cookies.sqlite* \
    extensions* places.sqlite* prefs.js sessionstore.* signons.sqlite* \
    ../<new>.default/
    - Start firefox
    My environment:
    Linux uw000141 2.6.32-26-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 09:00:03 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

    Try the fix posted by houseboats in this discussion: spinning beachball suddenly every time at launch. Other users have reported that it fixed their problem which is similar to yours, good with airport off, freeze with airport on. 
    The only problem I had with the fix was that it killed the name I gave my computer in the System/Sharing preference pane.  So if you use it go to that pane and rename your computer as it was originally.

  • When I click a backup date to restore bookmarks from backup, get error message "unable to process the backup file". unable to successfully copy bookmarks from default profile to new profile, nor access the backup function successfully. any suggestions?

    I had trouble with WiseStamp and was advised to create a new profile. I did and the WiseStamp issue was resolved. However, I now have no bookmarks on the new profile. I copied the places. file from the old profile to the new one, but with no success. The bookmarks do exist on the old profile. I like having WiseStamp working, but need those multitude of bookmarks more! Any advice greatly appreciated. :)

    Did you try to restore from another JSON backup?
    You can try to move places.sqlite to another location and only leave that backup file in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • Messages imported from other Mac Mail accounts are empty

    I took great care in making sure my business mail over the past several years was preserved on my G4. A separate folder was created for incoming and sent messages for each year, and each year I kept the folders from the previous year online in Mail for easy access. I moved the folders from past years into an 'archive' folder inside User/Library/Mail, but not within /Mailboxes. If I had a need to refer to messages from another year, all I had to do was move the appropriate folder back into /Mailboxes, and Mail would open it and there my messages would be, completely intact. The entire Mail folder was backed up every night onto an external Firewire drive.
    And everything was just fine. Or so I thought. After the power supply in my G4 fried last week, I had to migrate everything over to my MacBook. While the Mail import of over 5GB worth of messages went without a problem, I just now had a need to refer to messages from earlier this year. The mailbox lists all of them, including sender, date and time, but the message pane is EMPTY, completely void of any text whatsoever. Every message that was imported... over the past FIVE YEARS is now GONE. Finder still claims the Mailbox folder contains 5.28GB of content, but if the message panes are without text, what's taking up 5.28GB of space?
    Anyone?

    My panicked and frustrated posting was due to the fact that under OS 10.4.11, Mail Help was as empty as the mail messages I described. There was no content.
    But I was pleasantly surprised to find that under OS 10.5.8, Mail Help provided the answer by explaining how to get Mail to reindex the messages. This solved the problem.

  • Books imported from previous version of iPhoto

    We have recently bought a new iMac and installed iLife 09. We imported the iPhoto Library from our old G4 iBook which was iPhoto Version 5.0.4. The import went well, except that this new version of iPhoto has completely different themes for books. SO... whenever we open an old book it comes up with the message "the theme this book was created in is no longer available in this version, please choose a new theme. You may lose some data" or words to that effect. Unfortunately we have spent months creating books that are to be given as portfolios to the parents of the preschool children at the preschool where I work. They include a fair bit of text as well as photos. We have experimented with a few of the themes in iPhoto '09 but they all seem to mess up the layout (adding a dust cover inside flap where the 1st page used to be) and text seems to be missing. Has anyone got any ideas for a solution so we can continue to build these important portfolios to give out at the end of the year. Thanks!

    There is only one way to do this and that's continue to use iPhoto 5.
    Regards
    TD

    I think task payload does not display task contents in a variable. you can use workflow service function hwf:getTaskAttachmentContents() and assign the retrieved value to a variable of type "base64Binary".
    Hope this will help.

  • Only small portion of messages import from 10.3.9 iBook to 10.4.6 macbook

    I am attempting to migrate my mail files from the mail program on my old iBook G4 to my new macbook and only 410 of my 5193 inbox messages come over. I have tried saving the inbox to another mailbox and the same ones come over. Is there a limit?? Can I get around this?? Thanks-Mott
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
    Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    In particular, you may want to take a look at the following article (also referenced in that thread) to learn what you might have done before migrating to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON'T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
    Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
    I don't know how Migration Assistant handles the conversion, but chances are that the following procedure will allow you to fix the problem (assuming this is a POP account). If you cannot follow it for some reason, or it doesn't work for you, post back with your observations:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn't need to have an .mbox extension.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
    5. Move the mbox file out of INBOX.mbox and into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. This file contains all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger (maybe even some messages that had been deleted).
    6. Move any strangely-named Messages-XXXXXX folder to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or a re-indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn't work as expected. If you've been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
    7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
    The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox file only. Now, proceed as follows:
    8. Open Mail.
    9. The account's Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that's not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
    10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that's on the Desktop. Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move to the account's Inbox the messages that Mail failed to convert properly, and delete those that did get through and, hence, are duplicates now.
    The following collection of AppleScripts has a Remove Duplicates script that can be useful for removing duplicate messages:
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    If all is well and you're not missing anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

  • Disappearing Contact Groups after Importing from another Profile

  • OVI suite won't show Archived Messages synced from...

    I recently transferred my old text messages from my old Sony Ericsson K800i to my new C3-00 using my sim card. The texts appeared on the new phone fine and can be read no problem on the phone's archive. However, whenever i sync them to Ovi Suite, the content of the texts fail to appear. The exact number of messages come up, but what was on each one doesn't.

  • Unable to edit photo imported from iphone 4S

    Hello,
    After I imported photos from my iPhone 4S to my PC (with Windows 7) every picture that I try to edit (rotate) I receive an error: "Windows Photo Viewr can't save the changes to this picture because there's a problem with the picture's file proprietes"
    I checked the proprietes and all seems to be ok
    Any ideea what is the problem?
    Thanks

    On XP, this fixed the problem for me:  When you connect your iPod to your PC, use the Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard to import the pictures.  I was just going directly to the folder and copying them to my PC manually and was getting the error.  Using the Wizard, everything works fine.  Hope this helps.

  • Trouble in archiving or importing from Flash Card

    I shoot with a Sony Z5, recording to tape and compact flash card at the same time. When I connect the card through the card reader I can open files in the Finder (I note the native files are M2T files} and view them but when I open FCPX, evoke Media Import and try to 'Create Archive' nothing happens because all the files are showing, but greyed out, and 'Create Archive' is also greyed out. If I try to Import any of these files to FCPX by establishing an Events Folder, I can't because, again, the files are listed greyed out and can't be selected for import. So the question is: What are the steps for importing or creating an archive of files on a Compact Flash card, please? I am running Mountain Lion with a 27" 2.66Ghz, Quad core iMac with 1 x 3Tb, 1x 1.5 Tb, 1x 1Tb plus 1 x 75 0Gb Ext Hds
    Thanks to all who can help
    James

    Thanks Tom - I suspected that the case would be "FCPX does not support files recorded on a Flash card - ah, well ..... back to FCE - or - a new camera
    Thanks for your help.

  • Unable to edit pictures imported from iPhone 5

    When I import pictures from iPhone 5 on my PC, I can not edit these with Windows Photo Gallery or Photoshop. I read some posts about the same problem with iPhone 4. Can't believe the problem is not solved yet. Paint seems to be a good option but isn't there an easier way?

    Thats a PC problem, not an iphone problem.

  • Nokia Messaging Email from previous owner

    Hi Ive just brought a 5230 off ebay that the lady only used for a couple of days, she set her email address up in the messaging centre. I then set my adresses up and it was working fine, obviously i was still getting her emails. So i hard reset the phone again and now when i set it up its asking for her email address and password which i dont have, Ive also tried online to set up a new account but says my email address is associated with another account. How can i delete the account  and start again
    thanks
    mark

    Hello, Sorry that you are having this issue, my 1st impression is that you may not have cleared the phone completely. I suggest that you enter  *#7370# from your keypad. But be warned, this will completely wipe out ALL data on your device.

  • Is there a way to transfer old messages/texts(from previous phone) to an iphone?

    Well to be honest I have some pretty valuable and memorable messages/texts in my old phone, and i want to keep them. There seems to be no option for that inthe phone. Please suggest what to do. And no my previous phone does not have the bluetooth or the transfer-to-computer optiong, all I can do is save messages in my sim.
    Thanks

    I think you'd need a SIM reader and software to pull the info off your SIM card. You won't be able to transfer it to the Messages program on your iPhone but at least you'd have a copy. If the phone is still active, you should be able to send the texts to an email account or to the iPhone.
