How can I migrate thunderbird from ubuntu to windows 7

I'm not bad with the computer stuff, but I'm having trouble to my Thunderbird of Linux Mint profiles migration to Windows 7. I looked at several forums, but the reviews are either comprehendable or simply not what I'm looking for. Can you help me please. So far, I copied everything to do with Thunderbird, including profiles and stuff from .ini to Linux on a flash drive but don't know what to do next.

Thank you

John Chilver

Win7 machine:
Install Thunderbird and performed for the first time create a profile but create no e-mail accounts.

Reveal the hidden files and folders.

At this point, I would say that you enable all toolbars, as most of aid refers to them and not all the tools are accessible via the 3 menu bar icon.
Note that you do not have to do it's up to you, but it is more convenient.
See the image below.

  • 3 menu bar icon > Options

Select:

  • Menu bar
  • E-mail toolbar
  • Status bar
  • Quick filter bar

Now access the profile folder:

  • Help > troubleshooting information
  • Click on the view file"" button.

a new window opens to display the content of your new profile folder.

  • Close Thunderbird now - this is important.

The new profile folder name will be called something like this:
default, where the x are letters and numbers.
It will look like the second image below.

  • Delete the content of the new name for the profile folder that you just created, so that you have an empty default folder.
  • Locate your backup of Linux Mint from your profile folder. Copy.Paste the contents of the old profile folder (all its files and subfolders - not the record real name profile) in the profile empty folder name.
  • Restart Thunderbird.

If everything seems ok so you're running.

  • How can I make Thunderbird start car with windows startup

    How can I make Thunderbird start car with windows startup

    You can by placing a shortcut in the startup folder of windows, just like any other windows program.

    However if you do, you are likely to encounter problems such as downloading email while still load the antivirus and the network is busy, announcing the arrival of machines on the network (which can be a network a) and any other program of a dozen are loading is heavy risk of timeouts and disconnections of the server as well as error messages that make little sense because they are something that still load.

    The bottom line is so safe that you can, but if there are any questions bring her out of there first.

  • How can I migrate content from file system to webcenter content using inbound refinery?

    Hello

    How can I move content 'Webcenter content' using Refinery Inboundfile system? There is a lot of content in my system, I want to go to "Content Server" using inbound refinery.

    How can I reach it? Is it possible to do this? If this is not possible using inbound refinery, so how can I do this?

    I use 11.1.1.6 version.

    Help, please.

    Concerning

    REDA

    Hi reda,.

    First - incoming refinery isn't real resources whose content is ingested in the content server. 'S done it by Webcenter Content server that holds / process of all content items.

    IBR is only used for the conversion of 1 format to PDF documents (and some others).

    So, in your case, you must first set up a content server and then install Desktop Integration Suite customer on your physical machine. In this place, you can drag-and - drop all the content of the file system to the content server.

    Links to this documentation are available from the following links:

    Content of the WC: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/doc.1111/e26692/toc.htm

    Desktop Integration Suite: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/doc.1111/e10624/toc.htm

    Please go through the documentation first to get those basic concepts allowed.

  • How can I get Thunderbird opening .jpg in Windows Picture Viewer?

    When I use Windows Live Mail and click on a jpg attachment to an e-mail, it is opened in Windows Live Mail. When I try this with Thunderbird, nothing happens. The Tools-Options-spare part in Thunderbird tab shows nothing by entering 'content type' or 'action '. How can I set Windows default viewer for that?

    Hi Matt, thanks for responding, but things seem to have set themselves right now. Before that when you click on an attachment jpg at the bottom of the email, nothing happens, but now it opens in the Windows image viewer.
    This is something I've remedied inadvertently by my violin, I don't know, but for the moment, all is well.

  • How can I synchronize photos from iPhone to Windows via WIFI free of charge?

    Hello

    I want to have a copy of my iPhone photos automatically on my pc windows in optimal quality.

    It is an easy step when using icloud. But: after 5 GB I have to pay for it.

    Would be better to have only the last 5 GB of photos online, others on iPhone and PC.

    Or is there another way (live, automatically)?

    I also tried PhotoSync once, but was not very stable with large loads.

    I know that this method is not automatically...

    1.) connect your iPhone to your Windows computer

    2.) open Windows Explorer (Windows + E) and select your iPhone

    3.) GB of internal storage > DCIM > 100Apple & 101Apple...

    In this folder, you will find all your photos and movies.

    Now you can copy the photos and movies on your computer.
