Thunderbird files to save up to Dropbox. How do I stop this?

I've been setting up a new computer, and somehow, without intending to do so, a couple of my Thunderbird folders (for example sent and also one in which I store files on a particular subject) began to is saved daily on Dropbox. I can't figure out how to prevent this, in Thunderbird or Dropbox. Advice would be appreciated gratefully. Thank you.

It is strange that only two records back up on Dropbox and not all of them.

As long as Thunderbird not store these files in your Dropbox folder, then I don't see that Thunderbird did this in any way at all.

Right-click on one of the folders in Thunderbird and choose Properties. The location is where this file is stored on the hard drive. In local files, the format of the location must have the prefix file path by mailbox: / / / if the file is not in your Dropbox folder, you can be sure that Thunderbird isn't the culprit.

Then, it comes to look for ways outside of Thunderbird to explain this, and it is outside the jurisdiction of this support site. You will need to look more closely at your controls Dropbox and files in your Dropbox folder.

  • When I delete a message on the web server, Thunderbird deletes too remove my backup. How can I stop this?

    I have a related to Thunderbird IMAP server that has only a 100 MB allowance, so I have to delete large emails regularly with the web interface of the server. However, I want to keep them on my local hard drive. I just discovered that for a year I was remove my backup at the same time - when I delete a message on the Thunderbird server deletes that too on a "Get Mail" command. I can't find a way to disable it.

    Fortunately, I had all the emails sent to Gmail for the last few months, so I didn't lose something important...

    This is how works the IMAP e-mail. The messages are on the server and you see and manage with the e-mail client. You need create folders in the local folders and copy emails to guard it before you delete the server.

  • Virtualized temporary Internet Files eat up disk space. How can I stop this?

    Have encountered a problem of memory on my C drive and the holding of all recommendations usual cleaning only manages to free a few hundred MB. My hard drive is partitioned into a C and an E drive (each with 116 GB). I use Vista and Internet Explorer. (As far as I know, this is not a problem of RAM and my computer to not walk slowly.)

    The number of programs and files on my C drive not could represent almost 116 GB of memory, but I could find no other possible reason for my low disk space... until...

    I went to the guest orders and managed to do list all in the C drive. Then I spotted a directory which seems to contain a HUGE 94 GB of memory on the C drive. The exact name/address was as follows: C:\users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\Users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\FLVService. The list of files in this directory have been mainly youtube and almost all the other videos I've seen last year! (This folder does not appear in Windows Explorer.)

    Then, these videos are stored in virtual memory? They take place that much space? (The term 'virtual' throws me a bit). I can delete this file safely and how? And, finally, how to stop what is happening yet?

    So, thank you for reading this far and I would be really grateful for any help on this matter.

    Kevin.

    What problem you encounter when you try to delete the files?  FreeCorder has some options, you can use to purge or otherwise control the cache / repository it uses? That seems to be the easiest way to get rid of files and recover disk space.  Otherwise, uninstall (and reinstall maybe later) may present you with an option to clear the cache, the program uses.

  • DSA files: I can't watch avd files from a dvd disc. How can I do this?

    I can't look at avd files from a dvd disc. How can I do this

    DSA files are 7 BACK.  I spent nearly 45 minutes looking for any program that would read this type of file and could happen to any (see below - it may as well have been none).  I don't know the reason, you can't look at AVD files from a DVD disc is because he has not installed software capable of reading this file type.  None of the major software look at programs to support this type of file and I could not even find a 3rd party single program (freeware, demo, shareware or ware) that claims to be able to read this type of file (and I spent more than 45 minutes, looking in all the obvious places: www.download.com,www.tucows.com, Bing and Google). I could also find no program which converts the AVD files into a format readable by standard viewers.

    Well, this is not quite correct.  I found the folllowing: http://media-geek.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_details&Itemid=142&gid=160 but I do not qualify to become a member (and doubt do you either) and the program is not in the home page of the manufacturer list (which means maybe he is no longer available or taken in charge) and it does not say what operating systems it is compatible with (so I don't know if this works with Vista even if we could get at the point of download it which I doubt somehow).  I'm not even sure that it is applicable for the DVD you have.

    Indeed, if it was already possible with earlier versions of Windows or Windows software, I do not think it is no longer possible.

    You can search by yourself and I wish you success.

    Good luck!

    Sometimes when you view an Acrobat file created by others, square replace some characters.  How can I stop this?

    Hi John -.

    It seems that no one has answered your question. Sorry for the long wait!

    Squares can replace characters when you're dealing with missing fonts, or who are poorly integrated. It is important to see the text, you can ask the person creating the document to convert the PDF image pages PDF file, which then displays the fonts.

    Places instead of the characters may appear if you are using a scanned page, for example and capture the text.

  • Outlook Express wants to compact my messages whenever it ends. How do I stop this?

    Outlook Express wants to compact my messages whenever it ends.  How do I stop this?

    I advise all to first understand what is happening and then decide how best to treat for your environment:

    If you are talking about a message that says:

    To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

    Automatic compaction of Outlook Express files was introduced in Service Pack 2.

    If you are using Windows XP, there is a registry value called:

    Compact Check Count

    It is located in the registry for a key that looks like this:

    \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKCU\Identities\ {51909A0B-63EE-4EB3-A9A2-7CFA23C1ADCF}

    Whenever you leave OE (not when you open it), the value of the counter increases by an increment (increment is not a verb so you can't increment something and a counter cannot be incremented).  When the value of the counter gets to 101, the next time you close OE asked you to compress messages.

    There are two things that will increase the value of the counter.

    Exit from Outlook Express will increase the value of the counter.

    If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, it will increase the counter every time it works which is usually at least at each reboot.

    If you use Outlook Express, and Windows Desktop Search, the counter will be increased more frequently — whenever you close Outlook Express and whenever Windows Desktop Search launches when you restart.

    Even if you are not using Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search, which will further increase the count, so when the counter gets to 100, Windows Desktop Search will prompt you to compress messages during the next reboot.

    This is because Windows Desktop Search is configured by default to search for the Outlook Express database if you are using OE or not.

    No matter how the counter is increased, if you use at least one of these two, eventually you will see this message appear sooner or later.  But you can stop it when you understand.

    You can compress data when prompted (which resets the counter to 0).

    You can change the registry and reset the counter to hand to buy some time until you see the message again.

    If you do not use Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search you can tell Windows Desktop Search to never watch the Outlook Express database (or uninstall the Windows Desktop Search if you do not use).

    To remove the Option of Windows Desktop Search index to the database of Outlook Express follow these steps:

    Click Start, settings, Control Panel, Indexing Options, change, clear the box Outlook Express, OK, OK, to save the settings and reboot the system so that the changes will be effective.

    After the Outlook Express recommended for use (which would include the normal database maintenance) will prevent you from seeing the message in the first place.  If you see the message that you might want to reconsider how you use Outlook Express and the risks of data store corruption of occasional or misuse (risk behaviours).

    Most people using Outlook Express or Windows Desktop Search agree just remove the indexing Option in Windows Desktop Search and keep the meter that is built into Outlook Express so that they will remind to compact the database from time to time.  If you had to sort of do not maintain your Outlook Express files, it would be risky for your messages.

    Since the update to El Capitan, during the scrolling of the screen guard snapping back to the top of the Web page. How can I stop this?

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.
