Migration of files between the profiles of IMAP

I created a new profile, when I had to change your web host provider. I can't my old messages on the original profile and in the news. Both are IMAP, and I followed the instructions, downloaded Add-ons, etc., recommended in the Ezine of Mozilla knowledge base. I'm in Windows 8.

It's this IMAP folder are synchronized dynamically to the host. They must be moved at some point to local folders to prevent the host from delete and make them stay visible when you delete the IMAP account (associated records go with it).

The usual approach is to simply add a new account ([alt + F] File menu > new > existing mail account) and have two imap accounts visible at the same time.

You can then drag emails from account to account directly to perform the transfer without using tools to export and import, or major difficulties.

Personally, I would go to your original profile, add the new IMAP account and abandon the attempt to transfer.

  • followed all the instructions to copy files in the profile directory failed

    all files named from the old profile are new profile when firefox look any of the bookmarks etc are displayed - what to do now?

    "... "'old' files appear in the new profile but are re-created after firefox starts empty.

    Sounds like Firefox cannot have been closed completely when the files have been copied, or the copy and replace files with the same name did not. Windows should have asked if you want to replace each old file with the 'copied' version, and that didn't happen to you ignored.

    Or you copied the files in the profile \Local Sattings\App Data\ folder and not the profile folder OK \App Data\ - , but that would not have re-created empty files.

  • What is the extension of the files in the profile folder - file the emails, but not the message .msf file?

    I need to recover a lost Inbox (lost due to a failure). The file to the Inbox in the profile folder is somehow cleaned as if the record has been compacted and some new emails have been added. The size of the file is now a few hundred KB when there should be a few hundred MB. I have run a recovery of files on this disc, but now have thousands of files with names like Raw122354 and don't know what to look for, because the Inbox file has no extension. I can remove those with file extensions I don't know, but that still leaves too many to go through.

    I guess I should also ask if this is a waste of time, if I have a chance to recover the file?

    Messaging files are text files, so yes, you can open them with a text editor. I wouldn't try to open a file of messages Gigabyte with Notepad however.
    There is no need to rename the file with a .txt extension, it can be opened with any text editor without worrying.

  • Suspicious files in the profile folder

    There are two executables in my Firefox profile folder called SESSIONSTORE. MSI EXE and TEMP. EXE. Both files have the McAfee logo as their icon (large red M with gray background).

    I scanned both files with Bitdefender and Malwarebytes, and no file has been reported as suspect.

    Both files have a filedate of 19/12/2008 and everyone is 3 092 KB in length.

    Are these files OK, they are perhaps a vestige of the antivirus McAfee or Site Advisor (which I used to use) or do I remove them?

    I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Thanks for your help.

    You can delete them because they seem to be quite old, 2008

    Maybe it's time to create a new profile if the profile is so old to remove the remains of the previous versions of Firefox.

    I noticed that your list of details system shows a lot of prefs is longer supported in the current version, and you also have a user.js file that could possibly add some of these preferences.

    It is highly unlikely that your localstore.rdf has a size of large file and stores the obsolete data.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • Just cache the files in the profile folder

    My laptop froze all using firefox and make is no longer on. I took the hard drive to back up important files including my firefox profile. However, the profile folder contains only files cache and nothing else. What happened to my bookmarks information? I was running 14 Firefox on Windows 7.

    Look you in the wrong place (probably in Local Settings\Application Data).

    This location is used for the cache and not the main Firefox profile folder:

    • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile > \Local Settings\Application.

    The main profile folder is located here:

    • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > < profile > \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.

    If you do not include this file in the backup, then I'm afraid that your personal data is lost.

  • Is this OK to delete the cache files in the profile folder. I have more than 20 in there. I just keep later?

    My default profile to 8xvafniu.default folder currently contains Cache folders numbered up to 23, a record of OfflineCache and startupCache files numbered up to 6.
    I can delete these leaving me alone with the numbered last Cache folder and startupCache folder. The OfflineCache file I'll keep, of course, as well as the 2 files urlclassifier.
    Thanks for your help.

    No, you must keep all records of cache. Versions of Firefox 4 + use a different and distributed cache files subfolders structure to make it possible to store more files in the cache.

  • Copied bookmarks to the file in the profile on the new computer, but they do not appear.

    Bookmarks.html copied the folder from the old computer in XP and deposited the record .default in the profile on the new computer under Win7 folder. The bookmarks do not appear in Firefox, even after restart of Firefox and restart the computer.

    Since Firefox 3 favorites are stored in places.sqlite, you must copy this file instead.

  • Move files between the DSO and the storage library

    Hi all

    I use Oracle RAC 11 g ASM on Oracle Enterprise Linux 32-bit 2.

    I created a group of disks called + FRA for my quick/flash recovery area.
    I take the backup of my database and and all backups are created sub + FRA.

    My requirement I want old backups to a /backup of operating system mount points to be moved to the library of storage by my backup storage management solution.
    and in the case where I want to restore everything back up I'll copy back from /backup to + FRA diskgroup and then restore my database

    Is the above a good practice?
    Should what I do? CP command will help? given that I have faced questions while moving the files using the command cp of ASM to the OS directories for vice versa.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    1. I'll take a daily backup of my database to the FRA + ASM disk group.
    2 backups older then 1 month, that I need it submitted to / backup /.
    I used this: backupset finished after ' sysdate-30' backup format ' / testasm/backup%U' tag = "OLDBACKUPS" entry of deletion;
    is correct?
    or can I say backup obsolete? and there I will be backed up obsolete since FRA on different location?
    3 when I backup my Flash region recover I can instead just delete to delete the input set based on condition of "longer than 1 month?

    The question is how long you want to keep your backups in both places?
    Example:
    If I want to keep two months of backup (regardless of location)

    Configure the 65-day WINDOW retention policy;

    Above all the backup of the database will be stored on + FRA

    Then as maintenance will pass you every day all the backups more 30 days to ' / testasm / '.
    for example

    backup backupset completed after 'sysdate -xxx' format '/testasm/backup_%U' tag=OLDBACKUP delete input;
    

    So, you all first 30 days of backup on + FRA and older than 30 days in ' / testasm / '.

    So, during the restoration, the concept is the same, the Oracle will read the files in your own location.

    The two locations will be kept, catalogued and managed by RMAN.

    In this scenario, the RMAN delete expired files only in ' / testasm / ' because the older files will be there.

    If ' / testasm / ' is not shared between the nodes, I recommend that lets you share the NFS file system. (although I prefer ACFS)

    If NFS is not an option, you need to move and delete obsolete node that have mounted "/ testasm /". You should be aware of the limits of availability of this file system.

    Suppose that you backup all the files in ' / testasm / ' tape (without using RMAN) and RMAN delete these files, because they are obsolete. You can restore these files from a bunch of ' / testasm / "and catalog with this command" RMAN > CATALOGUE START WITH ' / testasm / '; This will increase you the retention of backup, but covering these files saved will be your provider of backup media retention policy.

    Hope this helps,

  • I have a design program on my iMac and Air. I want to transfer a file between the two, but it's in a format that it cannot open any applications. Can I transfer it somehow between the two?

    I have a version software Punch Home Design compete 17.5 on both my iMac and my Air.It saves files in my office as a .dxf file. I want to transfer the file to my Air, but nothing opens a .dxf file, including the Dropbox App Home Design is without help. Is it possible to just connect the two computers and share the file? It offers 3D features that I want to show a customer without making them come to my office and look at my big mac. The two computers are on 10.11.3, so what counts.

    I don't understand how a program that works and which saves .dxf files can open them but CADintosh can open the .dxf files.

  • Unable to connect to use Windows XP mode on a Virtual Machine, cannot share files between the Virtual Machine and host

    Because of the need to run some XP programs, I ordered Win7 Pro and installed a Virtual Machine with XP Mode.

    Managed to get it going somehow, but does not connect to my home network (can't see any other computers, which seems to be common with the host of Win 7, but here, I managed to install quick links to other computers - they will not work in XP Mode), even if the Internet connection is working perfectly.

    In addition, I can't find a way to share files with the host country, drive C appears to be different from that of the hosts with no common points (where it is currently stored beats me).

    I can access a USB key, but only at a price to make it unavailable to the host and the attempt to release his capture when running XP Mode failed.
