How to move all messages in local folders?

In my Thunderbird I have an IMAP account that is no longer existing on the remote mail server. All mail is on my local drive I can open it and browse. What I want is to move all messages in local folders and get rid of the old count IMAP. It's really annoying that it always tries to connect to the remote server all the time when I open and browse mail.

How can I do? When I try to drag and drop a few messages, Thunderbird attempts to remove them from the remote server, which of course not as the remote account does not longer exist, and that is why nothing is moved. I also searched if there is an option to take into account in offline mode, but found nothing.

Try it in "offline" mode
Click on two screen blue icon in the lower left corner of the status bar to switch to offline mode which will show two black screen icon.

If this does not work, try this addon to import e-mails in local folders.

Right click on local folders > ImportExporttool > import a mbox file
or
in the local folders
Create a folder of the same name
Right-click on the created folder > ImportExporttool > import messages

  • How to delete all messages in iOS 10

    What happened to the 'TRASH ALL' button in the MAIL for ios10?    Maybe I MISS something that you guys can tell me?

    < published by host >

    Here is a workaround until Apple restores the Select All - deletion in 10 iOS feature:

    1. open the Inbox that you want to delete all

    2. tap on edit (top-right)

    3. press to select any email (this will allow the move feature)

    4. press on and hold 'Move' (down in the Center)

    5 now the 'Move', click to deselect the email from step 3 (you do this so all e-mails, not only the selected e-mail to move)

    6. release 'Move' (this will bring up a list of destinations to move your mail

    7. press on 'Trash' or 'Archive' to move all messages to the respective destination

    It's complicated, but a workaround, however.

    Firefox is not a built-in feature to open all the links on a page or to print the pages automatically. However, there could be some add-ons that would help you to do so. You could search the Web, or try the site of modules:

    Alternatively, you can find a separate program to do, has its own integrated browser or using the connectivity features built into Windows.

  • How can I move all messages and folders in 'Local folder' in the folder of my main account? The local stuff is to import from Outlook

    I imported my mail from Outlook, and they went into a local folders. I want that they in the main folder for the my account section. How can I move them there?
    For the moment, I create each folder and then copy the contents of one folder to another - crazy, and I have dozens of files

    DOH!

    After spending most of last night slowly moving the files from the Local level to the account that it's a little late for me to go back the other way, but what you suggested looks like it could work.
    Still seems simpler to 'right click' a folder and "move it" and all subfolders to have it move properly as well. Of course your test produces a different result for me. I wasn't able to drag all the folders with the sub folders and the contents of these subfolders go with it, only the contents of the main folder is gone.
    Still, as I said, I have now done most probably time call it a day on this topic and I hope that all similar problems see your answer above - cheers.

  • How to move all e-mails from the imap server to local folders automatically for each mail?

    Hello

    I want to transfer all my e-mails in local folders as soon as they arrive in Thunderbird and remove them from the server. I can do this manually by moving the mails to hand, but I want to do it automatically by Thunderbird.

    After a few hours, I found there is an option on the removal of e-mails from the mail server, if I use POP3, but it is not an option for IMAP.

    Important note: my mail can not be resolved like POP3, so please don't segguest implementation using POP3.

    Thanks in advance.

  • How to move old messages 'away' but be easy to come back?

    My message store is huge... years many things still there even after the removal of most useless things.

    I would like to move it in one archive 'loading' at the start of Thunderbird, but enough to be easily retrievable.

    It would be the contents of the subfolders under about 4 accounts in the left navigation panel

    "I want to put it in a spare closet and roll it in a closet nearby."

    Is there a way to do this?

    I see two options.

    Either:
    You could save the e-mails in .eml format to a folder on your ex: desktop.
    then when you double-click to open one of these emails, computer should use Thunderbird to open in a new window.
    You can already do this, right click on the email and choose ' Save as '.
    However, a much simpler method using an addon called ImportExporttools.
    You can get the addon from here:

    Download downloads folder or office

    How to install:
    In Thunderbird
    Tools > icon menu or modules > Modules
    Click on the gear icon, and then select 'Install the Addons file'
    Locate the file and click Open
    Restart Thunderbird.

    Right click on the folder > ImportExporttool > export all Messages in the folder > Eml format
    See the pictures below

    This means that emails are not stored in Thunderbird, but they use Thunderbird to open.

    Or
    (and Thunderbird must be closed for this).
    You can create another profile folder in Thunderbird and don't use it to store the archive stuff.
    Create the profile using the Profile Manager and call it for example: "archived".
    Profile information manager including how to create a shortcut icon:

    then copy the contents of the original profile in this new profile name overwrite the files and folders.
    So actually, you have two profiles of different names, but containing the same information.

    Start of the 'Archived' profile
    Go "offline" immediately - click 2 blue screen icon in the lower left status bar, it will turn into black screen icon 2 = offline.
    Then access the account settings.
    Tools > accounts settings
    or
    Right-click on the name of the e-mail account in the folders pane, and then select "settings".
    In "server settings".
    Uncheck the "check for new messages at startup '.
    Uncheck "validate new messages every x minutes".
    So pop also uncheck: automatically download new messages'
    Click OK.

    Then set the parameters so that the archived profile always opens in "offline" mode
    Tools > Options > advanced > network and disk space tab
    or
    Menu icon > Options > Options > advanced > network and disk space tab

    Click on the button "offline."
    Uncheck ' follow automatically detected State online.
    Select: 'offline '.
    under "download messages for use in offline mode when going offline.
    Select 'no '.
    Click OK
    Click OK

    Now that the profile should look like no new messages.

    You can use "Profile Manager" shortcut to start Thunderbird and select profile on startup.
    In the Profile Manager window:
    Select the name of the profile
    Uncheck the "use selected without asking the startup profile.
    Click on "start Thunderbird.

  • I move all messages in the Inbox with a ruler, but inbox is always marked (blue) as containing unread messages.

    I have several e-mail accounts on servers external that I feed to a local folder "Incoming" with a rule for everyone, "Move incoming message to the local folder". It works to my satisfaction, emties server Inbox and keeps everything on the spot.

    The "Inbox" of a server is marked "BOLD" blue as if it contains unread messages, but it is empty. If I open the empty Inbox, unread indication goes away.

    This server is POP, others are IMAP.

  • Why I have to click on e-mail, all messages, important, Inbox, folders?

    I have inbox, important, all mail and several cases, I created in my thunderbird account. Why should I click on the email even in all folders? If I look in my inbox should clearly as read in all categories, but thunderbird makes me click on each folder, and then find each e-mail to prevent it showing as unread.

    Thunderbird doesn't create files Important or all messages. Gmail does, and they live by their own rules. Personally I would be you unsubscribe the folder all the messages. It's just a collection of mail that is in all of your other files and confuses just the question.

  • How to move all mailboxes to the new text layer?

    Hello

    So, we work with a book that will be printed in both languages. The color plates will be the same in both, with just the black plate text change. We should have implemented in a single document with color as the base layer and the two languages as two separate layers over the top, but we do not have. So now we have the design and to move all the items of text on a new layer. I do not know this should be easy enough for anyone who knows how the script, but I don't.

    Anyone know of any scripts for it? Any other ideas?

    I use ID CS3 on Mac.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes, but it should work...

    var newLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.add ();

    TFS var =

    App

    .activeDocument

    .spreads.everyItem ().textFrames.everyItem () .getElements ();

    While (var tf = {tfs.pop ())}

    TF. Move (newLayer);

    }

  • BlackBerry App generator: how to extract all messages from the power

    Hi, I made some applications using the generator of the app, but each of them draws on a different number of posts of the RSS.

    Is there a way to ask the system to get some or all messages by feeding?

    Thank you!

    The application builder takes only the 20 most recent posts of your workflow.

    You can't tell him to show more than the last 20 years.

    If it is less than 20, then my guess is that food has less than 20 posts in it.

  • I can Thunderbird to remove an Inbox LDAP when moving messages in local folders?

    I have 3 email accounts that I previously accessed with POP3 on Outlook. Thunderbird these implemented with LDAP (which, in many ways, is convinient). I like to keep the Inbox on the clean mail server so I move what I want to keep my files the. If I do this then Thunderbird he sees is no longer in the LDAP Inbox but it's still there and visible to other readers (i.e. my phone). The only way I have found is to copy my local files and then delete the LDAP server as two separate operations. Is there an easy way that I can configure Thunderbird to do this in a single operation?

    If you have configured the option synchronize with the server then it should periodically be auto sync. The first info I gave was to force the file to synchronize when you went back online.

    Check that you have configured the option automatically synchronize.

    'Keep messages for this account on this computer' should be checked if you want to synchronize messages between your local system and your mail server.
    

    See the info here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization
