- | |||
- | If you need to save your e-mail folders (from our e-mail server), you have to copy them on your directories using **THUNDERBIRD**.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | * If you use **thunderbird for the first time** please read and follow the instructions on the page: [[:thunderbird:e-mail_clients:configuration|How to configure Thunderbird to use SISSA e-mail services (first part)]]. | ||
- | |||
- | * If you have already used thunderbird, please read [[services:e-mail_service:e-mail_clients_setup#If you have already used thunderbird|thunderbird page to check the settings. ]] | ||
- | {{ :services:accounts:th5.jpg?150x100|Drag your folder into Local folder...}} | ||
- | * To copy a folder from imap server to local folders, you have to select and drag a folder in the same //Thunderbird window// acting on its left sidebar: (on the left sidebar //All Folders//) KEEPING PRESSED **< Ctrl >** button, select //**your folder**// (in the example its name is //newinfo//) and then **drag it** to the **Local Folders** icon/name.\\ | ||
- | === About your local e-mail folders === | ||

- | ==== FAQ about copying your e-mails ==== | ||
- | === File extension .msf === | ||
- | Some useful information about files with the extension .msf extracted from these pages: \\ | ||
- | http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq#export http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq#import \\ | ||
- | |||
- | === How do I export e-mail messages to another mail program or computer? === | ||
- | Thunderbird's mail files are in the standard plain text " mbox " format, | ||
- | which almost all mail programs can use or import. Many proprietary | ||
- | mail programs have a function to import from Eudora, which also uses | ||
- | the " mbox " format; this function should read your Mozilla mail files | ||
- | properly.\\ | ||
- | Your mail files are inside your profile (see the Profile Folder), in | ||
- | the Mail and (if you use IMAP) ImapMail folders. Each mail folder | ||
- | (Inbox, Sent, etc.) is stored as two files — one with no extension | ||
- | (e.g. INBOX), which is the mail file itself (in "mbox" format), and | ||
- | one with an .msf extension (e.g. INBOX.msf), which is the index (Mail | ||
- | Summary File) to the mail file. Tell the other program to import mail | ||
- | from the file with no extension.\\ | ||
- | If you want to transfer a mail file to another Mozilla profile or | ||
- | another installation of Mozilla, simply put the mail file into the | ||
- | other installation's Mail folder. | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | === How do I import e-mail messages from another mail program? === | ||
- | |||
- | Go to **Tools > Import**, which will bring up a dialog to guide you | ||
- | through the process. | ||
