Move the files of Thunderbird to Windows Mail

I searched high and low for a solution to my problem. Nothing that I find works for me. I used Windows Mail in the past but had problems, but I hope they have been corrected. I moved to Thunderbird and now I want to move my emails to WM. I can't find something that works. I have several email addresses in Thunderbird which is separate files, some people have folders within them.

Is there a simple solution on how to import my mails from Thunderbird to Windows Mail?

You can upgrade to Windows Live Mail; Windows Mail has been abandoned with no other work for him (and probably has the same issues you encountered earlier).  WLM uses sets of folder for each account, not mising as with WM.

  • using an easy transfer to move the files from xp to windows 8.

    everything is fine until I try to open easily transfer them on my old computer.  I get a message that I'm connected using a temporary profile.  He is told to restart my computer, and then try again.  Same result.

    See if it works, its for Windows 7 but the fix 'may' be the same: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/fix-windows-easy-transfer-error-using-temporary-profile-windows-7/

  • How to move the FILE from one place to another and keep "Indexing" have to move to the unknown location so you can't discover its full file path? Windows instructions provide information wrong re: how to do this!

    Make a bunch of audio files, placed in a folder on my desktop. Files initially sent to RealPlayer to burn, but when finished burning CD and went to read a CD, folder got seized by Media Player, 'Indexed' and disappeared from the office. I'm a relatively new computer user, and I need to learn more about file paths, how to view the path FULL of a file on my computer and how to type (create) full path when I need to. The "Indexing" feature seems to erase this lesson for me, and after having spent four hours trying to find Vista instructions on "How to move the file from one place to another", I gave up! Windows 'Help and Support' on my computer gives wrong directions. It states that if I right click on a folder > properties, a dialog box opens with a tab by which I can move my account. There is no tab location here. I found locations tab when right click on the "Mobile" folder, but still no option to "move file". No idea what is the folder "Roaming" or why it's on my computer. I want my audio files in the My Music folder, but this place is "access denied." Don't know how to get the audio file it in any case, but if anyone has any advice, I would be very happy! Thank you. PS - I had no problem moving folders in XP. I don't like the idea that a computer is to decide where to put my files. I want to control where I put my files. I don't like the way search works under Vista. I liked the XP search companion better because, for a computer fool like me, it was really easy to organize and find files and folders and had an option specific to find audio and video file TYPES.

    Here is an article on how to move your personal folders in Vista: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/moving-your-personal-data-folders-in-windows-vista-the-easy-way/.  If you're talking about the special folders (such as photos, Documents, office...), then here is an article on how to move: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/95/1/How-to-move-the-special-folders-in-Windows-Vista.html.

  • I can not move the files to a folder in windows XP, only to copy them, and I get the windows error. This happens on any file or folder.

    I use XP Pro SP 3 and I'm having a problem with moving the files from one folder to another, no matter where the folder or files. If I try to move a file, it crashes and it cannot be opened or used. If I move a folder, then crashes all the contents of the folder, and I can't even open the folder, it tells me access is denied, this nothing else. If I try to delete the file, then I get a prompt to error telling me that the file or folder is not accessible, and that access is denied and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If I try to move the files corrupt in another folder, this time I get the message "Unable to move or replace" the file in question and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If it is a document as a text file, then I can open the file and there is a prompt indicating that access is denied. I can then use the text document and save something, but if I close the document and then try to reopen it, all the changes are lost.
    It is not this problem if I move the files to an external device or disk drive.
    I am running as an administrator.
    Right now, if I need to move a file, I copy it to its destination, which is possible and then delete the original file. With the help of a release program was the only way I could delete these files, which could no longer be used.

    Hello Closrapexa, welcome.

    1. do you have this problem started recently?

    I recommend trying the system restore to bring the system back to a State before the problem started. Try this:
    1. click on START
    2. click on "all programs".
    3. click on "Accessories".
    4. click on "system tools."
    5. click on "system restore."
    6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.

    What version of Windows you want to transfer is irrelevant. What
    you need to do is just transfer to another computer.

    There are several approaches to do this. What is the best for you
    based primarily on the amount of data you transfer. Here are a few
    choice:

    1. transfer on diskettes.
    2. transfer to CDR or DVD.
    3. by email from the old machine, and read e-mail on the new
    one.
    4. the two computers on the network and simply copy the files on the

    5. temporarily (or permanently) install the old computer's hard

  • How to open file Outlook.pst in Windows Mail

    I bought a new computer using windows vista and I had saved my old e-mail account .pst on my external hard drive. How this open in Windows Mail to see the old emails.

    I bought a new computer using windows vista and I had saved my old e-mail account .pst on my external hard drive. How this open in Windows Mail to see the old emails.

     Windows Mail cannot import a .pst file when Outlook is installed on the
    Vista computer.

    You can install Outlook, copy the PST on the Vista computer, open the .pst file
    with Outlook, then you can import into Windows Mail.

    Or,
    If you have installed on an XP Outlook computer, import the .pst data in
    Outlook Express, copy the .dbx files and file .wab to the Vista computer,
    and import it into Windows Mail.

    I seem to have problems with Windows Mail, perhaps caused by the update KB978542 and/or run the program WMUtil.

    One of my Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 64-bit machines, whenever I try to start Windows Mail, it displays 0x800C0155 error message, then a message saying that he was unable to start because MSOE. DLL could not be initialized.

    On my Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit machine, I can start Windows Mail, but most local issues have disappeared - only the Inbox is visible.  I already checked that subdirectories for the other files are still present.

  • loss of the contents of the 'sent items' folder in windows mail

    Somehow all my emails sent in the 'sent items' folder of windows mail have been dumped. It's the second time that this has happened almost two years, I've been using vista. I checked to make sure that "show all messages" is accused in the "current view" for this folder. What could have caused this? These messages are recoverable? I often see messages sent from various pieces of information and would like to have them back.

    I suggest you go after that each file previous e-mail from the Windows directory where they are stored (and not only the sent items folder) and bring them into a separate file.  Then open with your e-mail program to access the sent items folder that it contained - but I now see that Windows Mail does save all emails in a file separated as it happens with Outlook using a PST file to store emails, but rather to the separate folderr, but I think they can be stored as .eml files as well as in folders so it is still possilble).  I read what follows in another post: "Windows Mail stores mail in files .eml, a file for each message, more more information about messages came together in a single file over (sorry, I don't remember his name)." I think that there is also a file for each folder. All these files are, by default, hidden - which means that you must activate the search for hidden and system files when looking for them. "I don't know for certain if this is accurate or if it will help, but it can mean that snapshots might work if you go after types of file using Windows Explorer and not Windows Mail.  But I think that one of the following products will work better (and faster) since some seem to be capable of managing entire folders at the same time.

    Here are a number of free file recovery programs that may be able to help you.  Try them in the suggested order.  For this you will need to at least know the name of the folder and perhaps file names (or least their extensions - although in some cases that is perhaps not necessary).  I am not sure if these will work with Windows Messaging files, but I think that it's worth it to check a few is:

    http://www.watchingthenet.com/recover-deleted-files-folders-in-Windows-with-free-undelete-utility.html (try this one first because it says it can recover entire folders and then you do not have to know the names of files)

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (try Recuva second - it is the best for general file recovery and can also operate in this case).

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (if you wan't to keep trying, try this next.)  If it doesn't work, the chances of the any of these work programmes is very thin but you can try as much as you want).

    http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

    http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

    Here is a commercial program which claims can be done, but it costs $99: http://www.diskinternals.com/mail-recovery/.

    Here's another commercial program that costs $69: http://www.vistafilerecovery.com/email-recovery.

    Here's another commercial program that costs $40: http://www.tech-pro.net/windows-mail-recovery.html.

    I hope that one of the free programs can help, but if not, then I hope one of the commercial products helps if you want to spend money on recovery.  I don't recommend commercial products - I don't know any one of them and just offer them as an option.  Most include a free trial where you can see what you are able to get it back before you actually buy it so the risk in these cases is minimal - but I'm not entirely sure how they will interact with your system - once again, I only offer them upward in option and you should use them at your own risk.  Regiarding all of the 3rd party software, Microsoft does not recommend this product and you install and use at your own risk.

    Honestly, I hope that you are able to recover your lost emails using one of the above programs.

  • Photoshop CC (2015.5); Installation failure, unable to move the file. Rename the file and try again

    Right. So I downloaded and I logged into Adobe Creative cloud and I tried to download Photoshop CC (several times). But when it gets to 90%, I get the error in the title ("the Installation failed, cannot move the file. Rename the file, and then try again")

    I tried using error messages in the logs for troubleshooting, but I found nothing. Here are the 2 error messages I receive.

  • Move the file in the folder of the same name in AppleScript

    I had a problem with the script below. Basically, on the execution of the script, I want to create folders based on the name of the file and move the files in the files of autocorrelation. However, at the minute, that I'll have to choose the folder in which the script should run.

    Folder to choose a folder

    say application 'Finder '.

    located fileList to the name of every file in Folder with name extension is "m4v".

    end say

    the value point text delimiters to ".".

    Repeat with dittos in list of files

    get each text element of dittos

    masterFile defined in the point 1 of the result

    say application 'Finder '.

    end say

    end Repeat

    Ideally, I would like it to run automatically, but the folder is on an external hard drive. (\Volumes\Lacie\Movies). and I had problems to use the POSIX and 'alias' to properly re-create the path of the file desired.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello

    You can try something like the AppleScript script which is a simple shell script wrapper.

    set d to (choose folder)'s POSIX path
    do shell script "/bin/bash -s <<'EOF' - " & d's quoted form & " 2>&1
    cd \"$1\" || exit
    shopt -s nullglob
    for f in *.m4v
    do
        m=${f%.*}
        [[ -d $m ]] || mkdir -p \"$m\" || continue
        mq=$(sed 's/[^[:alnum:]]/\\\\&/g' <<< \"$m\")   # quote meta characters for regex
        find -E . -depth 1 -type f -iregex '.*/'\"$mq\"'.[[:alnum:]]+$' -print0 | xargs -0 -J% mv % \"$m\"
    done
    EOF"
    

    For example, given that you choose/path/to/directory in the folder - source

    Input state:

    /path/to/directory/abc.m4v
    /path/to/directory/abc.txt
    /path/to/directory/abcd.m4v
    /path/to/directory/abcd.txt
    

    Status of the output:

    /path/to/directory/abc/abc.m4v
    /path/to/directory/abc/abc.txt
    /path/to/directory/abcd/abcd.m4v
    /path/to/directory/abcd/abcd.txt
    

    Briefly tested under OS X 10.6.8 but no guarantee of any kind. Please make sure that you have a full backup of the original files and directories before you run this kind of script.

    I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

    I'm probably not explaining my problem fairly - well, I scanned something in - I used Nuance Paperport.  I have it attached to an email and sent to six people - including myself.  I always open the attached file to make sure that the computer has sent the right thing.  When I tried to open the attachment I got the message "cannot open the file - I have already sent you."  I think that Norton Security got rid of the file I need.  I think I will contact them.  I tried to contact Nuance - but alas, my warranty has expired, so no help there unless I want to pay for it.  If I can't have the problem solved through Norton, I will contact you again.  Thank you very much for taking the time to try to help me.  Have a great Thanksgiving action!

    ================================================
    Your explanation was nice... that was my answer that failed.

    I was hoping that you would simply copy the scan of your temporary
    Internet files folder and paste it on your desktop. Then you might
    evaluate what is the problem. I thought that trying to open
    with such a long way email could be a problem. And also... it's possible
    be a file association problem. And it could be a matter of file size.

    I understand that you care why the attachment to the email
