How to import old emails having accidentally deleted the email account?

I have deleted my thunderbird e-mail account and now cannot access the mails I received. I'm trying to find them on the computer and import them, but don't know how to do. I use thunderbird on windows 8.1. Any help is appreciated!

If you have deleted the email account, then it is expected that you wouldn't see emails. So there is nothing wrong with this part.

It is possible to recover a deleted account.

If you have an IMAP email account you simply re-create the IMAP account as e-mail messages are stored on the server and IMAP e-mail accounts have a remote view directories on the server.

If you had a Pop e-mail account, e-mail messages are download from the server Inbox for the email account Thunderbird Inbox. By default, they download, and then delete the copy on the server. So now the only copy in your computer. You can set it up so that emails are not deleted from the server. Tools > account settings > server settings for pop mail account Select "Leave messages on the server" click OK

Note: If you have an account and you want to remove it, but you always want to see e-mail messages, you need to move e-mails in local folders first and then delete the account.

How to recover a deleted email account.

This link tells you how to recover the account. But I described the process below.

First check emails exist make hidden folders and files visible:

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

A new window opens to display the your profile folder.
Click on "Mail".
Click on the name of pop e-mail account (if it does not exist, then they are gone).
Note its name and where it is located. In general: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile name\Mail\pop mail account name of the folder.

This will show you all the folders listed as "files", they don't have any extension. Thus, for example: you will see the Inbox (email containing) and Inbox.msf (indexing file - no email).

You can open the Inbox folder using Notepad to see the emails.

Assuming that the account and emails are still there: close the window.

In Thunderbird: Create a new pop e-mail account by using the same parameters as the one you deleted.
File > new > account mail Exisitng

Now to the point the mail account created to use the e-mail account deleted.
Tools > account settings > server to the newly created pop e-mail account settings.
lower-right look for "local directory".
Click on the button "Browse".
Locate your original pop email account and click Open
In general it is located here:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile folder name\Mail\pop mail account name.

Click OK

    1. At the command prompt, type net user administrator / Active: Yes , then press on ENTER.
    2. Type net user administrator , then press on ENTER. Note: Please replace the tag with your passwords you want to set for the administrator account.
    3. Type exitand press enter.

  • I accidentally deleted the administrator account while trying to get rid of administrator privileges - HELP!

    I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges for that when I'm on another user account he don't ask me the password, or install all the files that I had the intention of this account to the administrator account. I used the command net user administrator / active: No.

    I'm not quite sure if I completely deleted the account or hidden in some way, but now whenever I try to do anything that requires the administrator password (almost everything) I don't even have an opportunity to choose Yes to enter and only the no option I can't change any settings on the computer at all by using a user account This being via CommandPrompt, Panel etc. I'm at a complete loss as what to do.

    (Also, if someone was uncertain, the account Administrator is not visible on the screen to connect.)

    I used CommandPrompt to try to rid the administrator privileges

    -> Order net user administrator / active: No. will do exactly what it says: it allows to disable the administrator account. That is to throw the main key to the safe. Here's how you can reverse this reckless action:
    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Set Windows to a point before you demoted the administrator account.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, even you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

    You can try this program:

    Use the deep Scan option. It may take some time.

    The System File Checker can repair some of the files in there, but probably not all.

    It's probably at least some of the files that have been overwritten. so I would say the the more safe thing to do is to reinstall Windows.

  • If the user accesses the server accidentally deleted the folder how recovery

    If the user accesses the server accidentally deleted the folder how recovery

    Hi AmjadPasha,

    If you are referring to a local file, you can check the trash.

    If you are referring to a network share, then there is very little that can be done.

    You can try using recovery software/services of third parties to retrieve the file.

    You can use your favorite search engine to search for third-party software.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful.

    You cannot remove a process, you probably just stopped it.  In the Task Manager (where you have completed the process), click file | New task and in the dialog box that opens type "Explorer" and press ENTER.

  • Accidentally deleted the windows credentials

    Hello

    I accidentally deleted my account under windows with all its letters of nobility. Now I can't access the Internet on my pc. I can open my email but not other Web sites. It displays the 400 error message or say ssl not found. I ve not done no backup of credentials. I'm worried how can I pick up my credentials? Help, please

    Hi Renon,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    (a) you have any admin account in the system?

    (b) the question has started happening recently?

    (c) when exactly you get 400 error?

    If you delete the administrator account, you lose Admin privileges on your system. If you have another admin account, you can transfer the data to this account and make that your main account. To share your files and folders to other account, see the following article:

    Share files and folders

    If, however, your problem has occurred recently and that you didn't do any significant changes to the system, you can try to restore your system to an image created before when the problem occurred. To run the system restore, refer to the following steps:

    To restore your PC to an earlier point in time

    1. Enter in the right edge of the screen and then click on Search.
      (If you use a mouse, point to the upper right of the screen, move the pointer of the mouse down and then click find.)

    2. Enter the Control Panel in the start search box and press or click on Control Panel.

    3. Enter the collection in the control panel search box, and then tap or click recovery.

    4. Press or click open system restore, and then follow the instructions.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  • How I bounce back without having to change the setting of 'Protection against overload only' amateur off EACH time?

    How I bounce back without having to change the setting of 'Protection against overload only' amateur off EACH time?

    This setting should be preserved, once you set it... so I'm not sure why you have to define every time...

    Then... Make sure that you put on ALL the tools of the art of logic in the preferences of LPX...

    Otherwise... you may need to reset the prefs of LPX... Put all the Tools Advanced again and the other preferences you have set... and see if that fixes things for you...

    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not affect your media files. To reset your settings preferences of the user to Logic Pro X to their original state, do the following:

    1. Logic Pro X to quit smoking
    2. In the Finder, select go to folder menu reach.
    3. Type ~/Library/Preferences in the field 'go to folder '.
    4. Press the Go button.
    5. Delete the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you set custom shortcuts, it will reset to the default values. You can export your custom key as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X user manual for details on how to do this.
    6. If you are having problems with a control surface in Logic Pro X, you can also delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file in the Preferences folder.
    7. Restart the computer.

    Note: If you cannot find the files listed above, you don't follow the instructions properly!
