Save the contents of local files on hard drive

Periodically, I get a warning that my mailbox is almost full. Emails, I want to keep have been in various folders named by category, under which, in my view, are called local folders (see doc "Send files" attached).
If I understand correctly, these files contribute to the quota allowed in my email box.
I want to record these files on my hardrive so I can easily access their content at will, thus freeing up space on my server of the ISP.
Is it achievable, please?
I still use Windows XP sp3 if that's relevant.

In Thunderbird
The IMAP folders show a remote view of the folders from the server.
You subscribe to view these folders.
Message headers are downloaded, and when you choose to read an email, it is downloaded in a temporary cache.
These e-mails are kept on the server.
If you pass in "Offline Mode", you won't be able to read them.

If you sychronisé subscriber records, a copy of the file is downloaded and stored in your Thunderbird profile as a mbox file.
These files synchronized constantly updated to show what is on the server, if you delete or move an email in Thunderbird records, it is also updated on the server.
These e-mails are on your computer and the server, but they synchronize.
If you pass in "Offline Mode", you will be able to read because a copy in your profile folder.

As the server tells you that your quota is nearly full, it is referring to any email in any folder on the server. So it is also any email in your email IMAP account folders.

How to keep a copy on your computer and be able to remove emails on the server:
You "sync" all your folders subscribed to get a copy of your profile.

Info on imap folder synchronization.

When the synchronization is complete, go to "Offline Mode" to stop synchronization further these records.

How to switch Mode offline:
Click on the blue screen 2 icon bottom left in the status bar. In offline mode, it will be 2 black screen icon.

Create a backup of your profile - for security reasons:
Store the backup outside of Thunderbird.
You can create a folder on your desktop called "Backup to" for them.

Into account the Local folder:
Create a few folders named suitablly in 'Local folders' ready to receive emails.
Move all the emails that you want to delete the server, IMAP folders in these new folders in the account of "local folders".
Check that they have moved correctly by selecting view emails randomly.
When you are sure that you have a copy in the local files, delete some emails from the imap folder and double-check that you can still read in local folders, if everything is ok then delete the emails in the IMAP folder.

When emails are safe in local folders.
Compact all folders.
File > Compact folders.
Wait for compacting.
then go back to online mode.

How to switch Mode online:
Click on the black screen 2 icon bottom left in the status bar. When online it will change 2 blue screen icon.

Imap folder will be synchronize with the server.

Now connect to the Web Server e-mail account using a browser.
check records to ensure that the emails have been deleted on the server.

If you have a gmail account:
Also check the "All messages" folder because it is gmails archive and keep a copy of everything. Make sure that you don't delete emails you don't want or have a copy your local folders of Thunderbird - that removing this folder will remove e-mail messages in other folders.

Hope this information resolves your situation.

  • Try to move the folder ' AppData/Local' to another hard drive without success...

    Hi all

    I have a problem which seems to have been discussed here, a few years back, but it seemed no resolution at the time.

    The problem is, I am trying to get my personal files moved to drive B: to the C: drive.

    This to Re-partitioning of the C: drive for less of a catastrophe should my drive C: never kick the bucket.

    I found the instructions online to move all (Local, LocalLow and roaming files.  The instructions worked well upward, to the folder (Local).

    I can't make it move.  I checked the permissions and I should be OK here as I am the only user and administrator.  All are checked in the Security tab.

    Bottom line is I have aprox. 1.7 GB of info that I probably need to move to this folder (Local) and still can not.

    I am attaching a sample of the message that I get trying to move the property path.

    Can someone help me out here telling me:

    (1) is it possible to move this folder?

    (2) what I lose if I have a dead hard drive, if the (Local) file is not moved to the other disk?

    (3) any person having legitimate suggestions, who has the same goal as me and want the cold hard facts to do that, we can

    get help?

    To all those who give their time, many thanks in advance and best wishes to you!

    Hi TJ.

    Yes, its possible. For this you must use a bit of PL/SQL Code.

    In the page, you create a branch;

    Branch point = to present: after the treatment (after calculation, Validation and treatment);

    Type branch = branch of PL/SQL procedure

    And the branch code, you have to have something like this:

    declare

    CLOB v_clob;

    v_blob blob.

    dest_offset NUMBER: = 1;

    offset NUMBER: = 1;

    amount INTEGER: = dbms_lob.lobmaxsize;

    blob_csid NUMBER: = dbms_lob.default_csid;

    lang_ctx INTEGER: = dbms_lob.default_lang_ctx;

    caveat INTEGER;

    V_LENGTH NUMBER;

    Start

    DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY (v_clob, true);

    DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY (v_blob, true);

    v_clob: = ' ID: ' | : PXX_ID | »

    Geographical area: ' | : PXX_LOCATION | »

    First name: ' | : PXX_LAST_NAME | »

    First name: ' | : PXX_FIRST_NAME;

    (caveat);

    V_LENGTH: = dbms_lob. GETLENGTH (v_blob);

    -set up the HTTP header

    --

    owa_util.mime_header ("application/octet ', FALSE");

    -set the size so that the browser knows how to download

    HTP.p ("Content-length: ' |") v_length);

    -the name of the file will be used by the browser if users only one save as

    HTP.p ('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename = "download.txt" ');

    -close the headers

  • LOCAL USE OF HARD DRIVE D: AS AN EXTENSION OF THE LOCAL C: DRIVE

    The office is a Dell Optiplex GX260 with Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3. The local disk C: drive only has 1 GB of available space remaining and the local disk D: drive is not formatted and has never been used. Two local disk drives show in my computer. The local disk C: drive has a NIFS file system while the unformatted local disk D: drive has a RAW file system.

    I would like to know if it is possible to format the D: drive and use it as an extension of the local disk C: drive, that is to say with the same function as an external hard drive. I assumed that it has the same capacity as the local disk C: drive, which is 20 GB. The object is to copy and delete a sufficient number of emissions from local drive C: to D: local hard drive so that I'll have 8 to 10 GB of space available in local disk C:

    Details of any change in firmware and driver coding, etc. it will take, if any, would be appreciated.

    It is possible to just open the program files in local disk drive C: and copy paste every program chosen for local disk D: in my computer drive, folder then delete the copy Aquamatic program files in the local disk C: drive which is free disk space in the local disk drive C and would not affect those programs in the control panel?  If it's more complicated than that, comments would be appreciated.

    This is based on the assumption that the computer will recognize programs in local disk drive d and use them as necessary, as if they were in the local disk C: drive

    Thank you

    Hi Notfinished,

    What you try to do, is use your second hard drive for some of your files and possibly applications. I suggest that you format the drive D: to NTFS. Easy to move to the D: drive would be My Documents, as described HERE. The same would apply to my music, my pictures, etc. Applications can be moved easily. You will need to reinstall the application and during the installation process, select the D: drive as destination. For many applications, this involves the use of the option "Custom Installation".

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Use LR5. Because of volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. When opening LR5 it references only the local hard disk. How can I change the refernce to read the external drive. Thank you

    Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.

    Thank you

    LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.

    If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.

    If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.

  • The content of these files can be deleted?

    The content of these files can be deleted?

    In the Finder, and then to the library I have two files, one is called caches and cookies to others.  What is inside them can be deleted?

    I have an iMac running macOS Sierra 10.12.

    Thank you

    Select this option.

    There are actually several 'library' files in the Finder and it is better that you don't mess with them.  Most browsers have ways to delete the cookies in the browser itself and adjusting the size of browser cache.  Caches speed up the operation of the computer, and unless you have a specific problem, you have not and should not, remove them.  At best he probably will do nothing, and at worst you may have to reinstall your operating system.

  • How to save the string in a file with some special characters

    Hello

    I m using MD5 - llb to create a password.

    So, I want to save this MD5-string to a file and read it later abd compared again.

    Works perfectly with a proplem:

    Some Word create a '\r' in the string of MD5 and when I save this string in a file and read it at the time its read as a '\n' for the comparison does not work.

    My question is: How can I record a string exactly as if it were somewhere and read back (also the invisible characters)

    For example, the word: heinz

    is in MD5: \r\FB^\07\A6\07T\C7\D9\C2\94\AB\C9\1DS\95 (string as display codes indicator)

    When I save the string in a file, then I rerad back: \n\FB^\07\A6\07T\C7\D9\C2\94\AB\C9\1DS\95

    I used the "write text file" and "read text file".
