I may have to add a second account to my Thunderbird configuration. I'm wondering what happens to my incoming mail? Do I have separate sets of folder for each account or a do the two accounts share a single set of folders?
And if there are separate sets of folders for each account is there any way to combine or merge them?
This arises because I am forced to switch from one server to another. After I switch, I will not be using the old server BUT I do wish to retain the old email.
For the benefit of whoever may be interested. It turns out the folders for the new account show up in the left hand pane along with the folders present before adding the new account. There is a heading for the folders in the two accounts and sub folders under those headings. For example each account has a Inbox. One can drag folders between the accounts BUT it appears it's a copy operation, not a move operation. The source folder stays behind under its original account.

So a user had emails saved in a folder in Outlook. Because they were reaching their mailbox limit, I moved these folders to their online archive. Months later, user is looking for emails that were moved, only to find folder is empty. Searches don't bring back any results for these emails. I look to see what could be going on, the user mailbox is set to only download the last 1 years worth of emails, so I change it to "All" expecting it to download more email. Nothing's happened so far.
I'm not sure what's happened to those emails, I used eDiscovery to try to find them and got some unindexed results, but I cannot get them to download as a PST file or even generate a report to see what they are. Even if I try to export including unindexed content, it will not export them.
I'm wondering if outlook was set to only download past 1 year of email, when I told it to move folders to online-archive, would only those emails that were downloaded be moved? E.G. I moved the emails in March-2022, so anything older than March-2021 wouldn't be moved because it's not in the folder, or would everything be moved because the command has been applied to the folder?
Even if outlook was only downloading the last year, the emails should still be in exchange server somewhere? But for whatever reason I just can't get them. I checked outlook online and the emails aren't there, which leads me to believe they're not there at all, but I can't think why these emails would be just gone.
In short, moved a bunch of emails in personal folders to a users online-archive and they're not there anymore. Not sure what's happened.
Recently my firm acquired the Workiste solution (DMS) v9.3.2. It is connected to Outlook as a plugin.
To the left of Outlook, beneath the Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items and other folders, there is a browser of this DMS, whose contracted label is FileSite.
Within FileSite there are the Documents in Checkout, Recent Documents and Recent Folders blocks.
Within the latter, there are all the 'workspaces' I've been getting via search.
However, many queries of these folder blocks (named 'workspaces') remain forever in the FileSite browser and therefore in Outlook.
I would like to keep only those 'workspaces' already searched and useful to me, those useful to my day-to-day, and not all those I search just take a peek, only.
The Worksite documentation is crappy on the web, so I did not find any information on how to clear the contents of the block called _Recent Folder (and if this is possible to do)
FileSite allows you to view recently accessed workspaces via the Recent Workspaces node. This is typically configured by you system administrator to show the last 10 or 20 workspaces that you accessed.
There is a corresponding My Workspaces node which will show you a list of workspaces that you are interested in, which may or may not be those same workspaces in your list of Recent Workspaces. To add to that list of My Workspaces simply right click any workspace (the reddish box icon that is the root of each workspace folder structure) and select Add to My Workspaces. Once you've done that a shortcut to that workspace will appear in your list of My Workspaces.
While the underlying workspace name typically won't be editable (usually because a company policy prohibits it) the shortcut is yours and you may rename it if you wish.
Also, in My Workspaces you may find that you want to logically group certain workspaces, perhaps because you're working on a set of related projects or matters. In that case you can right click on My Workspaces and select New..Category. A Category is merely a logical grouping of workspaces that is personal to you.
You can also make use of your My Favorites area to store shortcuts to workspaces and categorise them. The main difference between My Workspaces and My Favorites is that the latter allows you to add shortcuts to individual documents and even folders, not just workspaces.
In my experience, most people seem to find that My Workspaces gives them enough flexibility
Note that the My Workspaces and Recent Workspaces etc nodes are themselves configurable. That means your organization's administrator may have relabelled them, eg to My Matters and Recent Matters if you're a legal team, or My Projects and Recent Projects, etc. Also, you may have been restricted to only view certain nodes in FileSite
Your administrator or tech training team should be able to provide you with some comprehensive FileSite user guides that are produced by iManage in PDF format. Those guides provide much more detail
I have successfully set up Davmail on Ubuntu 14 and am able to read, receive and send mail on my Exchange account in Thunderbird. This page was a big help!:
http://nknu.net/ubuntu-14-04-exchange-configuration-thunderbird-pidgin/
I set the account up as IMAP, so I can also browse folders. One thing I can't seem to do is subscribe to or otherwise access the "Online Archive" - a copy of my Inbox and subfolders for all mail more than a year old (my IT department's policy). The posters in this thread claim success although the explanation of what options need to be changed lacks detail:
http://sourceforge.net/p/davmail/support-requests/134/
I'm pretty inexperienced with mailservers and these guys assume a lot of expertise. I need more specific instructions in how to change the settings of Davmail and my email clients. Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Ryan
I just got this working today. There are no special settings needed in DavMail, it's all done in your mail client. For example, in Thunderbird you can go to the Account Settings window, then navigate to the Server Settings pane for your account. Click the Advanced button and you will see a window like the following:
Notice the IMAP server directory is set to /archive, this is all that's needed to access the archive. I have not managed to access the root of the archive, only subfolders, but that's enough for my usage since I can move things from the root to a subfolder easily.
Hope that helps, if a little late.
It seems possible to leave Thunderbird's other IMAP server settings alone and just add /archive to the "Public (shared)" field within the IMAP server's "Advanced" settings (Account Settings → Account Name → Server Settings → "Advanced..." button).
You get access to your "Personal Archive" under a /archive subfolder within the sidebar hierarchy, and there's no need to sacrifice access to your "regular" Exchange mail or create a separate account in Thunderbird. So I haven't found any down sides (yet).
It seems to be necessary to uncheck the "Show only subscribed folders" checkbox as well; I didn't see any of my archive folders otherwise.
It will probably be necessary to restart Thunderbird in order to see this new folder showing up in the sidebar (it was for me).
Be patient while it downloads and indexes, especially if you have a lot of history in your Exchange "Personal Archive" folders.

I have a big problem. One of my coworkers left the company yesterday and one of his projects went into my hands. We work for a company which set up a TFS for us to work together on one big project. He accessed the TFS by using his LiveID. When he left yesterday, he hasn't checked in his new/updated items and I forgot to do it today before I disconnected him and logged in with my account.
So basically I still have the updated solution on my local hard disk. But since my workspace is mapped to another folder, it actually downloaded old versions of our code files.
How can I copy the updated, not-checked-in items into my local workspace folder and check them in?
UPDATE: I have tried changing the local workspace folder by going to File --> Source Control --> Workspaces but I get another error telling me that the folder I'm trying to map (the one used by my ex-coworker) belongs to somebody else.
The easy way would be to log in as him, but a it is a Microsoft ID rather than an AD account you are kind of scuppered there. You o however have the files from disk. If you copy the files from his workspace and drop them over the top of your workspace TFS will detect the adds and edits for you. You will then have to go through and look for any deletes yourself..
a...make sure it builds, run all your unit tests, and then check in.
I have a complicated system of folders and I need to share 2nd and 3rd level folders with certain groups of users while maintaining the full path to the folder.
Is this possible? I tried but without success as if I share a folder eg. Project 1->Administration with the "Group Administration" on the client I only see the Administration folder and I need, instead, to replicate the entire structure.
Thanks for the support
With the current ownCloud sharing implementation this is simply not possible. Every shared item appears directly in the "Shared" folder of the user the file/folder is shared with.
Update: At the moment ownCloud (and I guess also nextCloud) allow a user to move around and rename files/folders shared with them. So even if you could enforce a certain structure on your users, they could always change it afterwards.
You could always report a feature request for it (or maybe there even already is one) here: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/ .
