How do a static backup thunderbird accounts that I can still access locally only (as another profile) on Linux
I have a couple of IMAP accounts with my ISP. (I don't want to use POP). One of them is running out of space, so I have to clean the old stuff. Thunderbird is set to keep a copy of all emails locally on my laptop.
What I want to do is to copy my existing profile and all accounts and the data to another location on the drive of my laptop, BUT I still want to be able to access offline using Thunderbird, so I can watch old information if necessary.
What I am doing wrong?
Here's what I've tried so far:
I know there is the way to go by using profiles, but I was not able to understand how to get Thunderbird for me to change the name of the account in a profile without modification in the other too - or maybe it's not even access it at all.
I use Kubuntu Linux with KDE 4.14.0 14.04.
I tried to copy my profile and access with
thunderbird -P $HOME/.thunderbird/backup/profiles.ini
and access to the original with
thunderbird -P $HOME/.thunderbird/profiles.ini
but it seems that it is only in the search to a single profile because when I try to change the name of the account in the backup (so it cannot access my IMAP account), I see the same changes in the regular.
bigbird@Ramdass:~$ cat $HOME/.thunderbird/profiles.ini
[General]
StartWithLastProfile = 1
[Profile0]
Name = default
IsRelative = 1
Path = oll1pj1u.default
Default = 1
bigbird@Ramdass:~$ cat $HOME/.thunderbird/backup/profiles.ini
[General]
StartWithLastProfile = 1
[Profile0]
Name = local backup
IsRelative = 0
Path = / Home/bigbird /. Thunderbird/Backup/oll1pj1u. Backup
bigbird@Ramdass:~$
I don't think that a new profile will help you at all.
Copy what you want to keep from the server in Thunderbird local folders. That will free up space on the server.
Provided that fix you things there is no huge file (> 4 GB) I do not have all of your old messages in local folders will not cause great distress.
You can use the Thunderbird Profile Manager to switch between profiles, but I suspect that you will find it very annoying, because you have to close and re - open Thunderbird or use an add-on, to switch between profiles. Or you can jump through hoops and run two instances of Thunderbird, each with its own profile.
However a lot of profiles that you have, you must make a difference in local folders to avoid them being stored on the server.
You can export the messages to .eml, .txt or .html files but I suspect locate old messages would be painful, given that the chaining and the thread will be lost.

My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files on the old drive. How do I take the old bookmarks if no backup exists, or has been completed? Does not save bookmarks of FireFox auto? If, then what is the file name and where is normally stored by FireFox?
In fact, it can be easier...
If you have the old drive connected as, say, drive E, go to:
E:\Users\username
Then click in the address bar and paste it after this and press ENTER to open it:
\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Normally, you have only one file, which has a random string followed by "default." In this case, click on this file and find the subfolder bookmarkbackups.
If you find multiple profile folders, look inside to find the most recently updated backups.
To restore the backup files, see: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer

a Q dumbo? ~ is elements Photoshop (a) a unique, one device download dvd? (b) a load of multi dvd device? (c) an account that I can access it from any device. , and finally, it is an account of the life, a single payment? Sorry, if it's simplistic, but nowhere in the contract the descriptions are these addressed facts?
PES is a one-time purchase. You can buy a DVD at retail in an electronics store or as a download from Adobe. You have 2 activations for non-simultaneous use and the license is croos-platform for Windows and OSX if you wish.

I bought a new Mac Pro, transferred my CS software on it from my old Mac Pro, now I can't access Illustrator, only the version of cloud of the trial. How can I use the software that I already bought?
Just to clarify, in the case where this help anyone. I transferred more SC around 6 to help Apple migration assistant, and the only program in the suite that could not be accessed except through the trial version of cloud was the Illustrator. After that more than an hour on the Adobe support chat, turns out that I needed to follow the guests to buy cloud version, then type the serial number of my CS software at some point in the process.
