Apple iOS worked out of the box as it were. The only way I could get the send mail to be successfully moved, was to use POP.but that of course is only local retention of sent items on that one PC.So again, not of any use for multiple device sync mailboxes for plusnet mail. To get WLM to record sent mail I had to change the IMAP root to INBOX which of course, loses the Inbox!, so that was interesting, but of no use. It would however show sent mail folder items that were sent using other mail clients. Windows Live Mail on Win 7 would not work correctly by recording sent mail. Thunderbird could be configured to work It worked! My friend’s Inbox was restored with all the email he received this year.A post-script summary of email success/failure to last night's closure post. I thought this may restore the IMAP attributes which would allow Thunderbird’s Inbox to synchronize again with the old email on the server. My friend wanted all the mail back in the Inbox in the previous format as before for reference sake.Īfter an hour of searching the Internet for an answer and not finding any, I went back to the mail server and thought maybe I could trick IMAP to allow the mail to be downloaded again by highlighting them all and using the copy mail feature in Horde to copy them all on to themselves. But because of some glitch that did not allow all of the Inbox to be archived properly, IMAP had marked the mail as already downloaded. IMAP is a service that is supposed to keep the Inbox synchronized with mail on the server so that a person can read the same email on any PC with that IMAP email account setup on it. However, for some reason though I could see all the email using the webmail program, my friend still could not download them in his Inbox! Every time he clicked on Get Mail in Thunderbird, he got the message “No new mail”. I immediately highlighted all email, and un-deleted them. I immediately accessed the mail server via Cpanel and Horde webmail program, and saw all the email of 2011 was still on the server, but with a line through each of them. He did that, but to our dismay, only email from 2010 was archived all email he received this year had disappeared!

I advised a friend to use the Mozilla Thunderbird mail archive feature to move all his email from his Inbox so that I could move his WordPress web site to a different server.
