• When I downloaded scanned pictures form USB they were out of order, how to fix

  I scanned old photos on a portable digital scanner documents but when I upload pictures etc on iMac that they were all in order. How can I reorder in order?

  Files may have numbers of files, if that's the case, then simply use Finder to sort them by name, and it must sort automatically. However, your message is not too descriptive, for example what scanner, what app scanner, what version of OS X etc...

• Thunderbird guard download old emails & works very slowly. CAUSE: McAfee

  Help! I use Thunderbird for my work email. He started running so slow it can take me 20 minutes just to send 1 email. He maintains the gel and guard download archived old emails of my files.
  The slow & freezing mainly happens when it starts to download old messages.
  I deleted all the old emails except all sent and received from 2014.
  Unfortunately, I didn't know that I had to be compacted messages & never did until I started having problems about 1 month ago. I now compact daily. I also installed Mozbackup and saved my info because I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird. Unfortunately, this did not fix the issue.
  What can I do to fix this? !!

  A Thunderbird download unsolicited messages have resulted in about 3000 messages download yesterday.

  There is a file in your profile called popstate.dat that Thunderbird uses to "remember" where are included with downloads. If it is corrupted in some way what you see occurs.

• I want to save an IMAP via POP3 account in Thunderbird, but it will not download old emails that are still on the server. How can I do this?

  I start using Thunderbird to save and purge old e-mails from an account via POP3. This account is accessible by other users using IMAP on their computers and mobile phones.

  I want to archive and purge old messages from the server using Thunderbird. But it will not download messages that apparently are marked as read on the server via IMAP.

  POP mail accounts must be configured to "leave messages on server".
  Check this box before use.

  • Tools > account settings > server for the e-mail account settings

  or

  • menu icon > Options > account settings > server for the e-mail account settings

  Select: 'leave messages on the server.

  Optional: select: "during the more than xx days" this will remove something more that select the specified number of days "until I have delete" when you delete an email it will be deleted from the server.

  Click Ok to save the settings.

  POP mail accounts are only looking at the Inbox and download everything that has not been previously downloaded regardless of whether it has been read or not. They cannot access or download from any other folder on the server.

  If you want to download the e-mail messages in other directories, you must move the emails in the Inbox to upload and it's may not be practical in your situation.

  What you can do is to synchronize your IMAP folders to a copy downloaded to your IMAP e-mail account.
  Then switch mode 'offline' to stop any additional synchronization synchronized files update.
  MozBackup tool could now be used to save the profile synchronization created mbox files that contain emails.

  You can also do the following to get a copy outside the IMAP e-mail account:
  Create the same folders in the "local folders".
  Then right click on the email and "copy to" and select local folders and the folder you need.
  Put a copy in the local files means these e-mails are also on your computer and they are not influenced by what you do in the IMAP folder.
  You need backup emails in these folders.

• Thunderbird 31 will not download the messages from the pop server (to 24 worked) CAUSED by Avast

  TBird updated to version 31, it will not download the messages of my pop server. I can send, but not download messages. I restored Win (7) at an earlier date to return to the version 24 of Tbird, and everything worked OK.

  TBird later Auto-setting to update itself (ugh!) back to 31, and we don't go again, no E-mail download. I changed the settings to Win firewall, even tried that turned off completely for testing, without any difference. Retarted Tbird and win several times, no go. It's extremely frustrating. Does anyone actually * test * software updates before releasing these days here?

  TBird works very well for me in Linux Mint 16, but this glitch under Win 7 just jumped to the top with the upgrade to 31.

  Thanks for your suggestions, you can offer!

  the typical suspects are AV and firewall software.

  Start * Windows * safe mode with active network
  -win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Always in Windows safe mode, start thunderbird in safe mode

• My Thunderbird has stopped downloading messages - how can I allow him to run again. I restarted and downloaded a new version.

  I disconnected my antivirus (Norton) and tried again, without success. Thunderbird said I have 10 messages and try to download, but crashes and then upward and closes unexpectedly. It happened suddenly without apparent cause.

  If possible, you can access the account via webmail and delete the messages one-at-a-time, starting with the oldest (since the problem started), in the case where one of them is causing a "logjam" and stop new messages are downloaded.

• can I block old thunderbird profiles to get new messages

  I use profiles, multiple profiles after obtaining new computers. Each profile has several accounts (same accounts) but different date ranges. I'm organizing e-mails by what pc was more in use during a given period of time. so I have 3 profiles and they seem to work OK. But I only started the 'old' and saw that it was working but get new messages - I don't want to mail in the old accounts/profiles. They are just there to give a historic help if I need old information. My new profile becomes new mail OK.

  can I block the old thunderbird profiles to get new messages? How? I would like to block them without
  have to 'use' / open them so that the process of fundraising mail clutter them with new messages.

  Use command line arguments to start Thunderbird http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments_%28Thunderbird%29 offline and then disable the setting in the account setting > server settings re check the emails start and over a given time interval. But by using an argument of command line to start in offline mode and specify the profile to use forge probably the the easist and fear that difficult to maintain.

  Export actually mail using the import export tools https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ and import all e-mail messages in a single profile would probably be the best approach really.

• How can I get thunderbird to download the messages in Inbox SENT in my talktalk pop3 server

  Sometimes I'm away from my laptop (i.e. thunderbird) and need to send messages by connecting directly to my e-mail from talktalk... but I want to see them the same as incoming messages downloaded when I open thunderbird on my laptop.

  You download talk talk to apply the Protocol to IMAP instead of pop e-mail You another choice is to copy the messages in the Inbox to be downloaded. Messy, but it works.

• Thunderbird does not download or send emails after you migrate

  I've migrated to a new computer by using the method to copy the contents of the profiles folder in the new thunderbird profile. It recognizes my account and shows all the mails and folders, but it does not download or send emails. The pop3 and smtp e-mail settings seem ok

  Thank you. There was no error message for the download of messages. In the error log, I found a comment that the certificate is already existing and should request a new later. To send messages, the error message says to check the SMTP settings. These were my correct provider.
  I have a found a solution by creating local folders in my old profile, by transferring all e-mails in local folders and to then by copying only the local folders into a new profile. It works now. I have just all old messages in separate folders, which for me is not a problem.

• Download new messages (pop)

  Many old messages in Thunderbird are corrupt. Options to attempt a repair of the Database sqlite do not look attractive, so that's what I want to do:

  Step 1: delete all messages from TB or create an empty TB that was just my message filtering rules

  Step 2: connect to my e-mail provider (Google Gmail) and have tuberculosis re-download all messages, including those that I sent. And, of course, properly classify them according to the message filters.

  Gmail has all the messages that I need (I delete unwanted messages expired from there, so the working set isn't too bloated spam), so even though there may be 10,000 messages to download, it is a task of acceptable size.

  BUT I tried both ways, and TB and Gmail together seem to know what messages I already downloaded and will not download again.

  Obviously, Miss me a kind of FORCE RESYNC option. I hope it exists, and you can point me to it.

  Thank you!

  If you decide to remove all previously downloaded emails and redownload all - see previous answer-

  Delete all old messages first compact files, then delete the popstate.dat file.

  After you remove the messages but before you start to download, compact folders to remove all traces of marked as deleted messages. This includes deleted and junk folders. The "Sent" folder only has copies on your computer, in order to not to delete these emails unless you want to.

  If you need a backup of your profile folder see info here:

• TB stopped to retrieve new messages and try to "reconfigure" my account to correct the problem, now, I lost my old messages.

  [15/04/14 edit #3] I posted the troubleshooting information and make a backup of profiles with MozBackup, so my problem is the presence of two inboxes, both to receive messages, and my not be sure we can safely be removed nor how to remove safely.
  [14/04/14 edit #2] Help of you bird taught me where my 'profiles' are stored but I found that I had no backup of their. However, I find now that I have TWO inboxes - had not noticed this before oddity. Fortunately, one of them contains again all my old posts! The Inbox that has still all my old messages is listed as a subfolder under "Local Folders" and the Inbox I thought was that my only Inbox is listed as a subfolder under the folder albums whose name is my email address. Two inboxes are now recover my new mail. Does this mean that I have somehow created two accounts? If so, how can I get rid of the account that uses the Inbox that has all my old messages inside? I don't want to get rid of the wrong account, but I suspect that the "right" should be listed under my email address, not covered by 'Local Folders'. If anyone understands this mess I created, I'd appreciate some tips so that I don't make things worse. At least, I have now learned what it is I need to back up.
  ..........................
  [14/04/14 Edition #1] This is a major update of the problem I described earlier (see below). I disabled the part Mail shield of my antivirus software Avast free and discovered that TB was again able to recover my email. Then I re-enabled Avast to see if it blocked again TB. He did not. So, apparently simply light shield mail out of Avast and back again seems to have solved the problem. However, there's now the consequences of my having tried to "reset" TB which is described below, namely the loss of a very large number of emails that have been stored in my Inbox. So the problem is I would like to get help is how to recover these apparently lost emails. If they stay on my hard drive, should TB to store and what specific files I look for? I do not have a backup of some of my drive hard (but), but I need to know how to identify them, where to look and how to get back to my Inbox without deleting its current content. I would really like to also retain their original, if possible dates. I'm under 64-bit Windows 8.1. [end edit on 14-04-14]

  ................................................
  TB suddenly stopped downloading my mail today. When I click Get Mail, I can see the screen very fast succession of messages; first the message "connected...". «, then «check...» ", then"download 1 of 10... ". ", and finally,"No message to download"after downloading absolutely none of them. I also noticed that my list of mailboxes not the entry of first showed my e-mail address as account name. Find that something important must have been changed in the setup of my account, I went through all the settings but didn't see any problem. Finally, I decided to try to restore my account even. Who did place my email address again back at the top of the list of mailboxes mailbox as my work account name, but he also created an even more serious problem. There is now no messages in my Inbox, I guess because I have created a new account using the same name as the old, whereas before there were thousands of messages I had saved for many years (since it is a business). Then when I click Get Mail, TB downloaded 383 messages that have not yet been removed from the server, which then gives all today (another loss since their initial dates were important). But after that he finished all the download, by clicking Get Mail still retrieves all messages past the time he stopped to recover earlier today. These new messages remain on the server - but now there are 14 of them instead of 10. The same succession of messages TB appears at the bottom of the screen, but now it says "Download 1 of 14..." but always downloads none and ends by, "no message to download. This sequence of messages will repeat as many times I want to pick up the mail but she can still count how many is NOT download. Two questions: (1) are the thousands of messages that have been stored in my Inbox always stored somewhere on my computer and is it possible to recover? (2) how can I get TB to begin to recover my current email again? I guess it's obvious that these are important issues for me and I am completely puzzled. Thanks in advance.

  I managed to recreate the same question.

  It's what, in my view, has occurred.

  The account that puts e-mails in local folders is set up as a global Inbox account.

  The account which has its own mail, mailbox is a classic e-mail account.

  When you created the global account to the Inbox, you have not restarted Thunderbird before you download, so the same e-mail is downloaded in the two accounts.

  E-mails currently in the global Inbox - Local folders Inbox is not deleted if you delete the account. but do not immediately.

  Please look under "Tools" > "account settings".
  You see two accounts with the same name using the same email address? I noticed you have account 2 and account 5 using different servers, but maybe the same e-mail address?

  Select the 'server' settings account 2 and click the button "Advanced".
  A small window opens, which is selected?

  • "Inbox for this account of servers.

  or

  • "Inbox for the account of different" and "records the.

  Please also check account 5.

  One of these accounts will say "Inbox for the account of different" and "records the. This is the account that has emails in the Inbox folders and is configured as a Global account.

  Tell me which account is configured as global Inbox.

  In addition, I note that account 2 has more than one identity. You have two different email addresses that go to the same account?

  • In 'Tools' > 'Account settings' for account 2
  • Click on the button "manage identities".

  If you have two email addresses, and you want both emails go into this email account, then leave it alone. Click "close".

  If the two identities are the same (identical) email address, then there is no two, so you can delete the other. Select the second identity email address and click 'remove '. Then, click Close. If not sure leave it alone, but tell me what you have.

  Click OK

  Tell me what you have and if you have two email addresses the same as the identity of this email account and also if you have deleted the second email address.
