Vista crashed, did factory reset, downloaded and installed Thunderbird, can I get messages and contacts from windows backup

Did a factory reset of Windows Vista. Had Thunderbird before, downloaded and installed after reset. I have a windows backup on external drive that was made about a week before the crash. Would the old contacts and messages be on this windows backup? If so, how to retrieve?

What you need is your Thunderbird profile folder. Check whether that's in your backup.

  • Syncing calendar and contacts from windows phone 8...

    How do I set up my windows phone to sync calendar and contacts with BT mail
    Thanks

    Outlook 2003 and 2007 is supported. Outlook 2002 is not supported.
    You must select Outlook for syncing contact information and calendar events under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
    And copied from my previous post.
    +If Outlook does not include any contact information or calendar events, before syncing enter one contact and one calendar event. Make these up if needed which can be deleted later.+
    +This should provide a merge prompt when syncing, which you want to select.+

  • How do I import email and contacts from windows 8 mail to thunderbird

    Hi there,
    I have Windows 8 and have been using the Windows 8 mail app. However, it is very basic so I am keen to switch to Thunderbird. However, I cannot find a way to import my mail, folders and contacts to Thunderbird from Windows 8 Mail.
    There seems to be no export option on Windows 8 Mail. Thunderbird has an Import option but this is not able to locate the Windows 8 mail files.
    There doesn't appear to be answer to this question in the forums. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The Win 8 Mail app is usually associated with a hotmail/live/outlook.com account, so to access it with TB, set it up as an IMAP account:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/998184#answer-566746
    To import the contacts, open the account from the web page, export the contacts as a csv file, and follow the instructions here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012084#answer-607601
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Hotmail
    Since hotmail/outlook accounts automatically copy sent messages to the Sent folder, uncheck "Place a copy in.." under Tools/Account Settings/<i>hotmailaccount</i>/Copies & Folders.

  • Import Mail and Contacts, from Windows XP-based Thunderbird Email to New iPad Air

    Just got a New iPad Air, and I want to import all of my email & contacts (email addresses) from a Windows XP-based Thunderbird Email program.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thank you in advance!

    Do you have all messages left on the server? Then you can simply set-up your Gmail account as IMAP account.

    If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, click here, phone Apple, and order a replacement.
    If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart it with the Option, Command, and R keys held down.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • I recently purchased an iMac from a friend who factory reset it, and now I can't reinstall Mountain Lion?

         As the title says, I can't reinstall Mountain Lion. When I turn on the iMac, it send me straight to OX X Utilities. When I click on Reinstall Mountain Lion, it asks for my ID, but then states I did not purchase Mountain Lion. How do I fix this issue? I've tried asking Apple Support, but to no avail. I don't think the guy I spoke with understood what was going on.
    I cannot get around OS X Utilities. There are only four options for me.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion
    Back Up (tried, nothing comes up)
    Get Help Online (which is what I'm doing here)
    Erase or Restore Utilities (I've checked this, it says my disks are not malfunctioning)
         My friend suggested signing into his ID to reinstall but when we did, it also said this ID has not purchased Mountain Lion. We logged into Apple Support went to registed devices and there was nothing there. I think he may have used another ID which is he searching for the info for. If we get the right ID, then maybe it will let us sign in on his name and reinstall Mountain Lion. But if he can't, or Apple won't take his ID, then I'm at a loss for options.
         So now I'm here, hoping someone else who bought a used iMac from a friend who factory reset it and needs info on how to reinstall Mountain Lion can help me. I don't know what else to do. If I can't get this thing sorted out, I'll have to drive to the apple store. The closest one is 60 miles away, so I'm not looking forward to that. Is that my only option now? What can I do?
    tl;dr I bought a used iMac from a friend who factory reset it, and now I don't know how to reinstall Mountain Lion. What are my options?

    If the system didn't ship with Mountain Lion originally and you didn't purchase Mountain Lion yourself, then you will need to purchase. A purchase by the system's original owner cannot be transferred to you.
    Unless you have another system on which you have purchased Mountain Lion, you will need to first install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on the iMac, for which you'll need either the original installation disks, if the iMac came with 10.6, or a retail copy of 10.6. Install 10.6 and upgrade to at least 10.6.6, and then you can buy Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store, presuming of course that the imac can support Mountain Lion. See:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/

    Even if the email address was only associated with another Apple ID (as an alternate or rescue email address), it would not be available for use as your Apple ID (email addresses can only be associated with a single ID).
    There isn't anything you can do to troubleshoot this on your own.  You could try contacting Apple support to see if they can help.  You are not normally charged for support questions related to your Apple ID.

    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

    I was wondering If I could use my iPhone as an iPod? I factory reset it and now it wants me to activate it.

    Connect iPhone to iTunes on computer, it only takes a few seconds to activate the iPhone. Then to save battery you can put the iPhone into Airplane Mode and use as an iPod. If you decide to use iMessage and such you will most likely have to turn Airplane Mode OFF, while using iMessage.
