So glad I saw this.
My parents are moving house and their Virgin Media account is being closed on the day of their move. No thought had been given to all the email on Virgin's servers, to which they would no longer have access.
I've just downloaded Thunderbird onto my own pc and it's currently downloading Dad's messages. I think I've set it up to store locally, the fact it says it's downloading messages presumably confirms this.
Hallmark, could you give me step by step instructions please on how to transfer all my Dad's email from my own pc to his, once he has moved and his computer is set up. Presumably I need to export it, but I can't see the setting. And if there's anything else I need to do in advance. Although I can "remote in" to his computer if absolutely necessary I'd rather not, and I can't get to visit them before the move, which is the end of next week.
Also, the message download has now finished and I can scroll through them, but it's automatically opening them as I go and I'd prefer it didn't, where is the setting to change this please?
Many thanks
Jane :-)
