I lose mail on my computer when I change my POP IMAP accounts?

I have mail in the usual places:

inboxes

Envoy

project

trash

the in a multitude of folders on my Mac which I think are safe and it is those above, I need to go out and trash or store befor converting IMAP, Yes? They are all out of the BTW server and on my various currencies.  Thank you.

Mail creates a folder for each account by type (I think), so I think that these messages be left here, but I'm not sure.

To be sure, I would just move to folders on my Mac. When you created the IMAP account, you can move their return on the IMAP server if you need them there.

When Mail creates an account, it creates a folder named e-mail address and server, prefixed by type (IMAP, POP).

So I guess that messages remain in the POP-name@pop_server folder, so that it would create a new IMAP-name@imap_server folder for the IMAP account. But I am pessimistic about it that pulling properly.

And then there's always more cautious advice to have a full backup before creating the new account.

  • Firefox loses focus of the window when I switch to Windows user accounts

    If I have Firefox running in a single Windows account and switch to a different account (where I do not use Firefox) and then back to the account where Firefox is running, and I have to open a new window in Firefox, Firefox loses focus (in other words, I can't use the new window unless I first bring back highlight on the desktop.) ... and, no, it's not a Windows problem, as another program will include an expected. It's just Firefox that does this. Very annoying, btw.

    You must go to the email address provider and change his password. They will probably have a Web page where you can do. To change the password or close the account, you will need to know the old (current) password, or demonstrate in some way, you are its rightful owner.

  • Mail and sharing of WIndows 8 has stopped working when I changed my Yahoo password. Can't remove and replace the account information from Yahoo either. Any suggestions?

    I was doing very well with Windows 8 and really liked the tile part until the part of so many mail no longer works when I changed my Yahoo password (after having hacked).  Given that the Yahoo account has been used to set up my Microsoft Account for the new computer laptop / Windows 8, this old password appears to be caught in the trap in the system.  I can still use the browser to get to Yahoo use e-mail like this, but it is frustrating that the Mail tile is now useless and hand tile is too.

    Hello Rob,

    The Microsoft Account and Yahoo accounts are two separate accounts.  Then the two accounts use the same login ID (your Yahoo email address) and can be configured with the same password; When you change the password for one of the accounts that will not change your password for the account on the other.

    If the two accounts used the same password, I suggest to change the password for your Microsoft account and using a separate password for each.

    Once the Microsoft Account password has been changed, you should be able to connect to the mail. You may still need to update your email Yahoo mail password of: charms-> settings-> accounts-> .

  • I have a desktop computer and a laptop. When I change a bookmark on one, it does not change on the other, even if I am connected to sync

    I have a desktop computer and a laptop.
    When I change a bookmark on one, it does not change the other even though I am connected to the sync.

    Sync is meant to do?

    Most probably one of the two computers has corrupted data which does not allow the sync complete.

    Refresh (called "Reset" in older versions of Firefox) can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox as his default factory while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

    Note: When you use this feature, you will lose all the extensions, toolbar customizations, and certain preferences. See article Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information.

    Refresh for Firefox:

    1. Open the troubleshooting information page using one of the following methods:

      • Click the menu button

        click Help

        and select troubleshooting information. Should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

      • If you are unable to access the Help menu, type Subject: support in your address bar to bring up the troubleshooting information page.
    2. At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says 'Refresh Firefox' ('reset Firefox' in older versions of Firefox). Click on it.
    3. Firefox closes. Once the update process is complete, Firefox will display a window with the imported information.
    4. Click Finish and reopen Firefox.

    This corrects the problem? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

  • How can I access an e-mail account on TB from another computer without delete/modify how the other account is configured

    I want to be able to access one another e-mail account is set up as a POP account on TB, but I don't want to change the way the other e-mail account is configured. My colleague and I often need to access each others emails. Is it simply a matter of adding the e-mail account on my computer as a POP, without moving his e-mails? Or it would require to change his account to IMAP? When I created his account of TB, I did a POP so there is no messages on the server at the moment. What I don't want, it's for his e-mails from his computer to mine.
    (He's new to TB and making crazy him - I already did that when I went it to Outlook)

    Thank you

    Is it simply a matter of adding the e-mail account on my computer as a POP

    Yes. And don't forget to check the option to leave messages on the server before accessing the account.

    That said, I think it's a very bad idea to share an account like this.
    Note that this will give you access to on behalf of your colleague.
    In addition you do not store only your own messages on your computer, but also messages of all your colleague.
    The same is true for him if he does the same thing.

    You should be able to move your cursor to the top of the screen and the menu bar will fall.  So, you start with

    Drag the slider to the top of the screen against the edge and hold that and you should see

    Click the button of "green".  This should take you out of mode full-screen Mail.

    Command + control + F should do it too.

  • Down computer when I play older games

    Driver ATI Radeon HD 5800 is blocked (I tried updates research said its date too) when I play older games like assassin creed, star wars jedi knight jedi academy. Just got this computer last month. I tried the Troubleshooting compatibility so many different times and always the older games I play the crash. pls help

    The best thing I can say that each of you is to wait for the best drivers for your video card, because your problems are the result of video card drivers.  The latest drivers I tried to fixed ATI actually a graphic error I had with one of my games on Windows 7.  I always use Vista ultimate 64 as my main OS because I lose some features I love when you go to Win 7.  But other that some problems of video card drivers, I've not really had no problems with Windows 7. I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of c.r.a.p. and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

  • Removing addresses from Windows Live e-mail from another computer.

    I changed from Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail, when I upgraded to Windows 7. Thinking that I had 'lost' some emails on WM, I go to the House of a friend and typed in my Windows Mail e-mail address and password (same as WLM) and there I could see the emails that were sent to me. Now the problem is that copies of all my emails are sent to my friend's computer and I don't know how to remedy this situation. She no longer uses WM itself but all I want to do is remove my data on his computer. It may be simple, but I feel stupid not knowing how to proceed. Grateful for any help. Thank you.

    Configure the IMAP email account in the new computer, then copy mail to e-mail records. Of course, after this work, I deleted the IMAP account.

    Thanks to the support.
