I want to send a thanks to all on this list who have helped others this past year. As usual this is THE best place on the web with help for genealogy problems and computer problems. THANKS to one and ALL. Susan Boise, Idaho, USA -----Original Message----- From: gen-newbie-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:gen-newbie-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Les Hardy Sent: Sunday, December 25, 2011 3:49 AM To: gen-newbie@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GN] Has anyone tried this method of moving OE to Thunderbird? Sidney, You're absolutely right. It does sound complicated, but there's a reason for that. There are so many different combinations of what someone may want to export/import. The problem for someone giving the instructions, is how much information to include. I have a wealth of information to give, but if I include too much of it, the instructions get bloated and complicated. Bespoke instructions are always best. That's why groups like gen-newbie are so valuable. If I give you step by step instructions for your own situation, it will not seem so complicated. I sent off-list instructions to Rudy, as I have done with others. Tell me exactly what you want to do, and I will try to take you through it, a step at a time. If there is ever a step you do not understand, just ask, and I will give more information. Les Hardy On 25/12/11 04:20, Sydney Cardner wrote: > I have been looking for a way to do it.

Dear Newbies, Some of my children put together and gave me a document scanner for Christmas. I hope some of you can tell me cleaver ways to use my new toy. (I'm still trying to master the camera they gave me last year!) A most blessed, healthy New Year to one and all. Mary McCanney Finley

Holiday time. I usually don't have things like recipes to share, but this time I do! Enjoy. Well, yesterday we drove 60 miles to some calabash relatives (our daughter's husband's parents) for Christmas dinner, and had an interesting time of making and transporting various dishes. So, at 68, I learned some new things, or made them up, along the way. I was making much more of my "famous" Waldorf/cranberry/nut salad than usual, and for "people of unknown food habits/intolerances" so I did two things. First, I made the dressing (cup of mayo, 1/4 cup each sugar and lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt) in a big bowl. Then, I chopped the celery and put it in a different container (2 C celery). Finally, I chopped 6 crisp apples (Braeburn, I think), and put each apple right into the dressing and stirred it around to coat each piece, then added the cranberries (about a cup) and the celery. This order of things meant that the apples didn't turn brown, and I didn't have to drop them in lemon water while I did the rest of the operation. Finally, I chopped the walnuts (sometimes I use pecans for this part, but I was making pecan tarts, so didn't want to overdo that), and put them in a separate bowl, so people could use them for garnish. Good thing. There were two 88 year-olds who loved the Waldorf, but couldn't eat the walnuts. Then, what about the dressing and gravy. First, because I didn't have access to the turkey (which was going to be deep fried), and therefore no giblets, I had to have a plan B. That consisted of buying a few turkey thighs and legs as soon as the fresh turkeys arrived in the store. Then, I simmered them for hours (this began about Thursday), separated the broth/stock, and refrigerated the lot. On Friday, I picked the meat off the bones, minced it and returned it to the fridge. I then simmered the bones, skin, and other gristle for another few hours for more stock. Saturday morning, reduced the stock by almost half, added a quart of vegetable stock, made a roux (butter and unbleached flour) and from there made three quarts of wonderful gravy, reserving a quart for the dressing. The dressing consisted of 2/3 cubed stuffing bread (Mrs. Cubbison's) and 1/3 dried cornbread (I used some cornbread that had sugar, won't do that again, the dressing was a bit sweet), celery, and sautéed onions. I was making two batches, one with mushrooms (fresh, soaked in broth for a half-hour before adding). Because of the length of the trip, I couldn't figure out how to keep the "cold things cold and hot things hot," so I found out we could bake the stuffing there. But, even then, the pans were too big for my small cool chest. Hmmm. So, I put together the dressing, minus the broth, and put it in plastic bags for the trip. That worked great. Only thing -- next time I'll combine the ingredients IN the bag, instead of in a bowl and then transferring. Duh, my daughter taught me to do that with tossed salad years ago, and I "forgot" -- well, ok, didn't make the "information transfer." I also made pecan praline tarts, but that's a story for another day. Suffice to say, they tasted great, but perhaps just a little too done. More like candy on a cookie. All worked well, fifteen adults, 2 little kids, and two babies (who didn't eat much). Too much food, but a generally relaxing day. I was able to interview Grampa (my son-in-law's grandfather) to gain a wealth of information about the family. I'd done my research, but some things weren't quite "fitting." Late in the afternoon, someone mentioned "well, you know, Grampa and Gramma were cousins." Fannie of this line was Frances of that line! WHAT!??? No wonder things didn’t fit, I didn't have four families, I had three. Now, I can get this down in the database and it'll make sense.. Just one more example of those little family "things" that are so much a part of the fabric of the family that no one thinks to mention them. We arrived back in Tucson about 9 pm, with cats and dog very happy to see us and get their Christmas dinners. Watched the end of the game, went off to bed, and woke up at five this morning. What??? I NEVER get up at five unless I have a plane to catch! Happy New Year. Pat In Tucson

It doesn't allow the default of 25. Connie Rudy, I believe the SMTP port for comcast is 587. I am not sure if comcast allows the default of 25 You will need to set avast to the same port as your windows live mail is set to. Les Hardy

Hi Sydney, I took a quick look at the links you supplied. The first one does not apply to you. It is for OE in XP. I think it is quite old. The second one, is for Linux. So, again it is of no use to you. I think you're worrying without cause. you don't need any special applications to move you emails to thunderbird. When the time comes you will be able to import all you existing emails into thunderbird without any trouble. The emails will display ok in any email application. The character set and formatting options can be set to your liking in most email clients. The address book can be imported as csv, and several other formats. Sometime a certain amount of manual adjustment is needed on the address book. Before you make the change, there are thing you can do to prepare for the change over, but we can discuss those things later. When do you plan to move to windows7 ?

Remember the good 'ol days when we reminisced-told stories-shared recipes and stuff? Well what happened this year! I'm disappointed in y'all. I lurk rather than participate, but I enjoyed myself. Remember the story of the cat that hated the cat pillow look alike? I thought I saved it, but I can't find it now... I'm hoping the holiday didn't catch you guys off guard, cuz we had plenty of warning it was coming! I'm sitting here ready to read-lets get moving, y'all. Have a happy New Year and I hope the day was a great one for all. Mary in SNOWLESS west Michigan and I'm lovin' it! 40 degrees outside right now.

Rudy, Did you make any changes to Avast? If you did, that may be why you cannot connect. Try turning off the Avast firewall, just long enough to test. If it works, then we are back to the avast problem. Les Hardy On 25/12/11 19:09, Rudy wrote: > I am having problems now with windows live mail it will not connect shows > the 800 error.

I have found dropbox to be fantastic and it is free. It is accessible from anywhere and files can be shared with collaborators or other associates easily.

Rudy, There is no need to apologise. I was quite happy to help you. I only mentioned your name to let other members know that we were trying to sort out your problem. I was wondering why you had not got back to me, but figured you were just having christmas pudding. When you're ready, let me know, and we can continue to try and solve your problem. Just to keep other members up to date. Rudy installed Thunderbird successfully , but could not receive emails. It looks as though avast is blocking thunderbird. I have made several suggestions, but unfortunately diagnosing the problem is not simple. If anyone else can make a suggestion, please feel free to jump in.

Thanks Bev. I have dial up and the router is to make it faster. But i already got rid of it. Three people tried to get it going for me with no luck. My grandson told them he was a pro on this kind of stuff and they changed their way of talking. They told him i probably needed to put a different satellite on my roof. My grandson explained it to me and i just looked at him. He said into the phone, she never said boo!! Meaning they were just moneying me death. With each person that called it was 29;00 to 199.00. Finally Allen got on phone and i said tell them i am calling the Attorney General, then they back track some. Only have to pay 133.00. But they had the fool idea i had to take if off the roof. But allen has a voice that can call the cows home from ten miles asway<VBG> Any way they will be picking it up them self. Hugs. Viola.

Importing Windows Contacts into Thunderbird. I know this will seem like a lot to follow. The hardest bit is exporting the windows contacts, but it only has to be done once, right? First, export your contacts... 1. Open Windows Contacts. You do this by clicking the Start button , and then clicking your user name. 2. Type 'contact's in the address bar , and then press 'Enter 3. On the toolbar, click 'Export', and then click 'CSV (Comma Separated Values)'. 4. Click 'Export', click 'Browse' and select a folder where you want to save the file, and then click 'OK'. 5. A message will appears to say your file is saved, click 'OK', and then click 'Close'. Remember where you save the csv file. Now, import the contacts into thunderbird... 1.On the thunderbird top menu, Click 'Tools'. 2. Select 'Import' 3. Select 'Address Books' and click 'Next' 4. Select 'Text File' (csv), and click Next 5. When the file select window opens, select 'comma separated' at the bottom right. 6. Locate the address book (csv file) you saved and click open. You remembered where it was. didn't you? 7. Click 'Finish'. On 25/12/11 17:04, ETM wrote: > Les, off-list is nice but it is not kind to the > lurkers who are reluctant to post.
