Can I have my e-mail messages stored on my hard drive with no expiry date?

My mail server deletes mails after two weeks. When I used Outlook, messages are automatically stored on my hard drive without expiration date. Can I configure Thunderbird to do the same thing?

Using the Inbox for the storage of messages to long term is a recipe for disaster.
You must create folders in your e-mail of 'keeper' under the account of the Local folder and sort messages in these folders.

Read this article on the maintenance of your e-mail folders.

The help site seems to be down at the moment. I'll add the link as soon as I can get for it.

  • Need to find old e-mail messages on an external hard drive on old laptop

    I need to find an email that I sent to my old laptop. I have the hard drive in an external case connected to my new laptop. How can I find my sent emails?

    If you use OE, then search for *.dbx.  The files are hidden, so you will need to go to control panel | Folder options | View and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types and select the option to show the hidden files and folders.  You will then need to something, as my DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) program to extract messages from dbx files.

    If you had Vista and use Windows Mail, while messages are stored eml files are individually (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx for background).  Similarly, if you use Windows Live Mail, messages are eml files.

    If you use Outlook, then search for a pst file.

    Otherwise, it would be useful answer your question if you told us what email program you use, as shown in Palcouk.

  • How can I access my Microsoft Virtual PC on an external hard drive with Windows Virtual PC on my new computer?

    For a few years, I have been using a set of VPC on external hard drives (.vmc files both .vhd located on external drives) with the Microsoft Virtual PC/Virtual PC Console on a Windows XP computer. They worked perfectly.

    However, I just bought a new computer with Windows 7, and I'm unable to access the VPC on the external hard drive. I installed successfully, Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode on the computer, and I copied the file to the host machine's .vmc. However, when I try to open the virtual computer, I get a message saying that the VPC was "impossible to write in one of its virtual hard disks.

    I've tried everything I can think of, but the only thing that works is to copy the .vmc and .vhd in the computer file. The problem is that I use the VPC for training online, and I have 16 of them. If I copy everything in the computer, I will use all 500 GB of disk space.

    There must be a way to access the VPC for external drives. If I can do it on the old XP computer, it should be possible to do it on the new Windows 7 computer.

    Help, please.

    Thank you!

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    for HP, you press F11 at startup

    You should have the choice of a destructive or non-destructive restore

  • Satellite L750 - receive messages from ordinary this HARD drive is about to fail

    I have a laptop of PSK2YA - 04K 010 L750 Satellite.
    I get regular messages that my hard drive is about to fail.
    I backed up all my important stuff.
    I did not the recovery discs until I started getting these messages.
    I've been able to create a windows repair disc & also recorded an image of the hard drive on an external hard drive with no problem.

    I bought and installed a Western Digital 750Go WD7500BPKT hard drive replacement.
    I tried to do a system restore using the image I created on my external hard drive
    "I get the following message appears a few seconds after the start of the reimage" the operation failed because of a device error encountered with the source or the destination. (0x8078012D)

    I reassembled the original hard drive & make a set 4 DVD discs using the Toshiba Recovery shortcut.
    I put the Western Digital drive HARD back in & run these discs. Disk1 ran right to the end, then put in disk2 wouldn't do anything, the drawer of the DVD would keep opening asking me to put in the disk.
    Don't really know where to go now & am hoping to get a few ideas from people in the know or have been here before.

    HHHHeelp please

    > I tried to do a system recovery using the image I created on my external hard drive

    How did you create this image?

    > I put the Western Digital drive HARD back in & run these discs. Disk1 ran right to the end, then put in disk2 wouldn't do anything, the drawer of the DVD would keep opening asking me to put in the disk.

    It looks like the 2nd disc can be read correctly or the 2nd disc was not created correctly.

    I first recommend you to clean the lens of the laser of the reader of CD/DVD alcohol or cotton tip.
    Then try to run the installation by using the recovery disk once more.
    In case this isn't possible, your recovery disk is defective.

    If the recovery disk that is faulty, you have an option to order here:
    http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    The 2nd option would be clean Microsoft Windows disk usage.

  • Can not recover the Windows 7 desktop after replacing the hard drive

    I bought a new HP Pavillion Elite (HPE-240f) in August 2010. A week ago my hard drive has no SMART short self-test during systematic hardware diagnostics. I installed a new hard drive of the same size - 1 TB and could never make it work properly. I tried the following (in that order).

    1. using a system repair disc, I got the system from a previous image (which I did shortly after the purchase, install my own software and configuration of all). It worked, but then I noticed that Windows Update was not working. I ran various Microsoft diagnostic tools and discovered that some (unspecified) system files have been damaged or missing. All the fixes I tried didn't work. I ran hardware diagnostics extended, but no problem not found.

    2. I tried to restore the system to the default settings by using the original image on the D partition. At first it seemed to work, but at the last moment when the system started, I saw a message on the screen that Setup is starting services and then got a warning saying that services failed because of (unspecified) problems with hardware.

    3. I tried to restore the system from the system recovery discs and a message "system recovery disks do not support this computer."

    4. I found this Cyberlink utility on the HP website, dealing with precisely this issue. I created a CD tried and it didn't work.

    5. I found this document on the HP Web site, saying that if you are replacing a hard drive with sectors of 512 bytes with a new advanced Format (AF) drive (with areas of 4 096 bytes) and your system was manufactured before October 2010 (as mine was), you must get the new HP recovery disks. I thought I finally found the root of my problems (since the new drive is indeed AF and the old man is not) and ordered HP recovery discs.

    6. the disks arrived today, and I noticed that the version number of the software (for Windows 7 version) is almost the same as on the computer, except that the last digit is 9 on disks and 6 on the computer - I guess it's an update to deal with the problem hard drive AF. However, I get 'system recovery disks do not support this computer' error, if I use the utility from CyberLink recovery disks or not. To be on the safe side, I even used a new hard disc (new 1 TB) right out of the box (never partioned and installed previously) and connected the original keyboard supplied with the computer (I also unplugged everything except the monitor, keyboard and mouse). However, I get the same message. Just out of curiosity I tried to put back the original hard drive (certainly not in best shape, even if the system always starts with him) and still could not recover the system.

    What else can I try?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    An alternative to try. > If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key attached to the Tower, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD. The version must match that on the sticker COST Microsoft. for example Home Premium
