When I reset Firefox it deleted my Outlook email account on my iMac

When I reset Firefox it deleted my Outlook email account on my iMac computer. It also moved my AccountEdge accounting file into the Old Firefox data file on my desktop along with all the backups. There are also Microsoft user data files and some Word documents in that file too. I hope you can help because I don't know how to put these files back where they belong.

[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]] this would help for the files associated with Firefox.
However as for the Outlook email, you can restore them with these instructions [http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/Restore_Outlook_Mail_Contacts_and_Other_Data_from_a_Backup.htm]
I am not entirely familiar with the storage of outlook files in Firefox.

  • Why am I unable to add an outlook (email) account to my Imac which is running OS Maverick?

    Why am I unable to add an outlook account to my Imac which is running OS Maverick?
    I recently opened an outlook email account which I have paired with my phone. Which is probably because on the Iphone there is an option for “outlook” when setting up an email account. However, when I go to add the email account to my imac there is no option for “outlook”. There is however an option for “exchange” which I may have tried to use however it asks for server information which I do not have.
    I also tried to populate the add another account feature however it still don’t seem to recognise the email account.
    Can some help? What am I do wrong? v

    The OP is talking about an Outlook.COM Email address. Not MS Office Outlook.
    To the OP:
    You have not entered the Outlook.com Server addresses correctly.

    You will need to enter the logon information (username, password and the name of the incoming and outgoing server names). The ISP that provides your email service, ie Virgin Google Yahoo will have this information on their website support page.

  • CS5.5 Web Premium has deleted my MS Outlook Email account - can anyone help?

    I've recently installed Adobe CS5.5 Web Premium and, while the software works properly, it has completely deleted my MS Outlook email account and all of my work emails. Does anyone know why this has happened and whether I can restore my deleted Outlook account?
    Appreciate the help.

    To start with, you're asking in the wrong forum. I'd suggest that you ask in the Creative Suite forum.
    Second, when you post it there, you should describe your operating system version.
    However, I'd say that it's just about impossible that installing the Creative Suite could delete an email account.

  • How do I delete an old email account that's associated with my Apple account? When trying to activate my Apple account my old email keeps popping

    How do I delete an old email account that's associated with my Apple ID? When trying to login on to my Apple account with my  ipad2 the old email account is still tagged as the primary account.

    OK that's what Ithought you were talking about.
    You can't actually delete an old Apple ID. You just sign into the new ID to use that one. Your old ID must be popping up because you used it in the past to purchase content with it. You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. You have to continue to use the old ID if you want to update content that was used to purchase with that ID.
    Did you sign into your new account in the settings and you can't stay signed in?

    Internet Explorer does not exist for the iPad. Obviously Safari will not work. There are other browsers available that can identify as Internet Explorer and one of those might work for you. However, there is really no way to know unless you try one of those browsers.
    iCab Mobile and Atomic will identify as IE, so you could try one of those.

  • HT5361 I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail.  Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

    I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail.  Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

    Yes, it's a POP account.  I kinda thought that the old messages would be safe in mailboxes "On My Mac," but since it's an irrevocable choice, I was reluctant to pull the trigger.  However, the suggestion above from keg55 relieves my concerns on that score; I'll make a backup copy before I delete the account just to be on the safe side.
    Thanks very much to both WZZZ and keg55, I really appreciate it!

  • Emails when i start firefox in all of my email logon i cannot automatically log they will stay signed in how can i fix this

    HI when i start Firefox none of the sites [emails,Facebook etc.] that have ticked the stay signed in box will stay logged on and i have to click the OK button each time.
    my question is how can i fix this
    i have tried to reinstall and this did not work
    i searched the options in Firefox
    i cannot find out the right button to press that will solve my problem

    -> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''"Permanent Private Browsing mode"''' -> place CHECKMARKS on:
    1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
    4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
    -> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
    -> When using the Location Bar, suggest: select "History and Bookmarks"
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

    Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • TS4002 How do I delete my iCloud email account?

    How do I delete my iCloud email account?  I do not want it.  Apple now is forcing its use where before it was using my Windows Mail.  for example, I have iCloud installed on my Windows 8 PC.  I am sharing Contacts with my iPads and iPhones.  I use to be able to to open Contacts on my PC and click on an email address and the Windows Live Mail program using my primary email account would open to compose and send a message to the Contact's address.  Now when I click on an email address iCloud Mail opens.  So, I want to delete the iCloud mail account since I will not be using it and hopefully Contacts will again default to my real mail.

    Finally, you have answered my question!
    I told you that you cannot delete an iCloud email account in my second reply, immediately after you clarified that you were referring to iCloud.com, not the Windows Live Mail application you actually mentioned in your first post. I also provided a link to instructions showing you how to restore the connection between Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail.
    I cannot help but note that it is absolutely absurd to not allow the deletion of an email account in an ISP or Cloud environment.
    Tell Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html then. Nobody here can do anything about that.
    You don't listen we'll, or read carefully for understanding before jumping to conclusions.
    You are unable to describe a problem accurately or coherently, or read and comprehend the simple answers you receive.
    I seriously wonder if you knew an iCloud email account could not be deleted.
    I seriously wonder if you can read - since I told you exactly that in my second reply.
    Rest assured that these exchanges will be brought to Apple Support management attention.
    This is a user-to-user support forum. You are not conversing with Apple Support staff here, so their management will not care. However, feel free to show them so they can see how quickly I answered your questions after you clarified exactly what you were asking.
    I wish I could offer you personal counseling in an effort to help you overcome these limitations that will likely stifle your career.
    Don't worry, I wouldn't accept it anyway, as you have no idea what my career is. However, I do have something that would definitely help you... Go here and treat yourself: http://www.readingglasses.com/

    Wow, that's unbelievable! You'd literally never guess... Anyway, another "achievement" you can blow your own trumpet for is choosing the most apt username for yourself I think I have ever seen on these forums. Well done!

  • HELP!!!  I deleted a POP email account w/4000+ messages in it and they disappeared

    I have been told all my messages are gone forever but I find that just hard to believe.  If this were a Windows machine I could recover them because it just deletes the first character in the name of the file.  Am I to believe that Apple doesn't have something even remotely similar?
    I have been able to recover a few hundred from my iPhone which also had access to the POP account but many years of emails are just not there.
    I thought for sure I could delete the account and recreate it as I was making it an IMAP account but I'm having no luck getting most of my life for the past 4 years back.  (And yes, I know, I should have backed up - but I hadn't in over a year.)  Lazy I know so please don't rub it in. 
    I drove 100 miles to go to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and that is how I learned to recover the ones on the phone but that was a painfully slow process of doing them pretty much one at a time because I'd select 50 or so and some would be able to be moved and some wouldn't - which was frustrating so I finally just went through and kept the ones that were most important. 
    Anyone got any good news or ideas for me to try? 

    Thomas,
    "Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it.  When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
    You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account.  I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN!  It just deletes it - which *** for me.  Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.)  I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem.  Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those.  Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
    This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often.  ;-)
    Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL!  ;-)

  • I'm unable to delete an existing email account, using iPhone 4 and latest OS. Anyone resolve this problem?

    i'm unable to delete an existing email account, using iPhone 4 and latest OS. Anyone resolve this problem?

    I thought maybe you had a restriction set to Accounts but if you can get to the final screen that's not it. I'd try resetting the phone. First do a hard reset. Turn the phone off then press the Home button an Power button at the same time and hold for 10 seconds or so until the logo appears. If that doesn't work go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. That will basically restore the phone to a like new condition but keep your data, music, photos, etc. intact. Do a back up first though.
