If I uninstall/reinstall, my emails will still be there?

I'm having some problems with Thunderbird (very slow recovery after I delete an e-mail and the inability to retrieve gmail emails) that push me to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird on my computer. If I do this, will keep all my emails (folders and subfolders), or what I need to do something to ensure that they are saved? I read a bunch of articles on the backup of the profiles, but frankly, I find this pretty confused, because I don't know what all is included in a profile, and if I have different for my main email (non-gmail) and gmail. If the uninstallation and reinstallation of Thunderbird can be done without deleting all emails, I would all too quickly. Is this practice? Thank you!

This means that your deleting the file Thunderbird wants and needs so it recreates.

sdb files are not files, but mean subfolders within the Thunderbird folder structure. If you have subfolders in gmail. (I guess that inbox deleted etc normal records.) and they may contain any number other MSF files files are index files and list the contents of a folder. They are generated for all folders subscribed, regardless of the status of synchronization.

Well, click on the account name in the folders pane. (Inbox above) to set up subscriptions. Unsubscribed folders appear not at all.

Menu (Alt + T) tools > sync and storage > advanced to define locally synchronized items.

  • Firefox does not work. Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it still will not open.

    Do not get the error messages. At first it would take a long time to open, or several times I had to click the icon so he can start. Now after several times to uninstall, reinstall and restarted my computer, Firefox no longer works for me at all.

    I did at first and did not have much. All of a sudden when I was on IE Firefox just starting up. I don't know if it was a hiccup or something, but he has just come. Now it's working.

    Hi Stephen39,

    Do you have any 3rd party plugin installed for Adobe Reader? If not, close all instances of Adobe Reader running and delete the entire folder to: C:\program Adobe [version] \Reader\plug_ins.

    Now go to control panel > programs and features. Locate the entry for Adobe Reader X and choose to repair the installation.

    If you do not have a 3rd party plugin installed, try to uninstall them and see if the problem is related to the same. If it works, let me know what plugins have been the origin of the problem so that I can have a look.

    If all goes well, this should fix things.

    Thank you

  • KB954430 guard reinstall BUT also will not uninstall

    KB954430 guard reinstall BUT also will not uninstall in order to allow the correction

    I read the fix as it is to uninstall and reinstall manually but in the "installed updates" area of windows, if I click on any other update, uninstall link is appears... but NOT with kb954430. I can't uninstall it because there is no option to do so (i.e. no link uninstaller).  How to uninstall another way?

    Re vista: kb954430 guard reinstall BUT also will not uninstall in order to allow the correction. I went to the area of vista update and all other updates when you click on them have a link that seems to do the uninstall. KB954430 will not uninstall so that I can then manually reinstall it, in the hope that it will stop relocation.

    There was a ranked difficulty: uninstall, then reinstall manually, but be able to uninstall the update, which for some reason I can't.

    any ideas other ways to uninstall an update that does not have the ability to click on the link to uninstall?

  • I recently installed Microsoft 2010. When I go in there, it will not work & continues to send me a message saying that I might have to uninstall & reinstall because of problems encounterd with the license. Why?

    I installed Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 on my computer Toshiba with Microsoft Windows and the first time I did it it went well through and Microsoft Click & Run and 2010 have been in my programs, but when I went to use my Windows program it came with a messeage of error that says:

    "Auto Correct File\MSO 1033.Add, could not be saved. The file may be read-only or may not be allowed to edit the file.    Then there is a box to check (OK) so I checked the box (OK) to see what happens & it looks like you're actually in Microsoft Office 2010, but once you go there comes another error message saying this:

    "Microsoft Office has encountered problems with the license and may have to close. If the problem persists, uninstall & reinstall your product.  Then, there is another box to check (OK) so I clicked on the box and then it stops and goes completely and so if you repeat this process did the same thing again and again.

    So I uinstalled just as he said and I've now done four times and still I get the same thing again and again. I also have can not uninstall Microsoft Click & Run when I try to uninstall it from my programs, it says contact Mircrosoft that I am unable to uninstall the package of Microsofts.  I'm the administrator of this computer and thought, I could uninstall and reinstall anything?

    Can someone figure this or help me?

  • Uninstall/reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 will affect already created PDFs?

    I get a message that I have to uninstall and then reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to solve a problem. Operating system. Windows 7.  Problem on laptop only.  No problem on the desktop.  Error message states: "license for this product has stopped working.  You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contact your COMPUTER administrator or Adobe customer support for assistance. (148: 3) "if I uninstall / reinstall will this affect PDF files already created in my Docs?  Is there another way?

    The process with does not affect the PDF files, but I'd be concerned about record and such. If you uninstall without disabling, you may lose the second option install and need to call Adobe to reset. I try a repair first and see if that helps. The repair can be done from the control panel > programs & preferences (since apparently you cannot open Acrobat).

    If you do not uninstall, do the following before you reinstall: run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. If Acrobat is part of an installation of CS, you may check here (CS forum) for the proper way to reinstall.

    If you have an upgrade, so be sure to have the SN of the previous product available.

  • After that restart of firefox does not start. is running in the Task Manager, but won't pop up. Reset safe mode and uninstall/reinstall won't help. OK so no reset.

  • c7180 Photosmart all-in-one: some emails will not be printed

    some emails will not print. I unplugged the printer - still does not print. also, these emails do not fit into the page - have to landscape.

    @missouri97

    Assuming that you have installed the full function of the printer software, it is probably not the printer to blame.

    Printer:

    All-in-one printer, HP Photosmart C7180 range

    Full software features:

    File name: AIO_CDA_FSW_Full_Win_WW_140_408 - 5.exe

    The browser you use to view the emails aren't always the settings you need (for example, Page Setup to adjust the size / width Fit).

    The browser or program may be missing parameters in order to translate something that the printer can understand the content.  Strange fonts or images in the content is a possible cause of printing email problems.

    Other...

    Chrome provides little in the way of the configurations - a singularity in the browser Chrome as it shows on my system Windows 10 Pro:

    Chrome > open web page > settings > print > additional settings >

    Most of the content of the page (to print) does not appear on the preview screen.

    Click on the graphics to UNCHECK > click again to CHECK the graphics >

    and the graphics and the text finally appear as expected...

    • Try another browser to open the email
    • If not using a Navigator > check the print settings in the e-mail program, you use
    • If all else fails, download / Snipcontent, save and print the data as an image
    • Reinstall / update your PDF reader (Adobe Reader DC / Foxit)

  • How uninstall/reinstall Photoshop elements 10 and first 10 items

    I bought a copy of Photoshop Elements 10 and first 10 elements (grouped together 5 discs).  I installed on my Windows 7 laptop not starting disc 1 and then he hung up and I couldn't eject.  I wasn't invited to all other drives.  I read while I should I have started the installation with Disc 2 that I install on a Windows 7 computer.  I was wondering if I need to uninstall what I've done so far and start over with a new installation failing disk 1 and beginning with disc 2. I should do?   I have not connected to internet and still 'active' product.  If I uninstall I need to remove the serial number somehow disable them to preserve for the re - install on the same computer.  I don't want to lose one of my licenses as I want to install these programs on my desktop as well.  Read through many similar queries on these forums and have become quite confused.  I hope someone can help.

    Hi Stichopus,

    As long as you disable the application before you uninstall, your license will be released upwards and resettlement will use 1 license only.

    You can follow the steps you mentioned above to uninstall / reinstall.

    This link provides detailed information on the contents of each DVD and takes you through the installation process:

    Install the first & Photoshop Elements 10.

    I hope this helps.

  • Can not uninstall/reinstall iTunes because of the missing file iTunes6464.msi

    Recently the resources have been insufficient in my C drive. The it guy in my office found because I had 3.5 million .jgp files stored in a folder of windows media! YES 3 500 000 jpg files!

    Decision of Directors... delete the folder. With that, I lost my desktop icons, Skype and iTunes. I was able to reinstall Office icons are back. I rarely use Skype so no question, I've uninstalled it. I will return later.

    The dilemma is now no iTunes, does OK icon... the process should be, do a uninstall/reinstall. With a massive library I want to do it right and who would be in Control Panel/programs/iTunes/uninstall. Alas, I can't.

    The message I get is "the component you are trying to use is on a network unavailable resource.  Click OK to try again or enter a different path to the folder containing the installation package "iTunes6464.msi" in the box below. This item is not found.

    I have downloaded and run the latest version of iTunes6464setup to be told that "a newer version of iTunes is already installed"... the installer closes.

    So now I'm in an add that not only no icon iTunes but no way to unistalling/reinstalling.

    I'm looking for help. :-)

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    Start by missing error MSI.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.
