Computers / Re: How To Convert Thunderbird To EML? by petergroft: 1:59pm On Oct 24, 2023
To manually convert Thunderbird emails to EML (Email Message) format, you can follow these steps. EML is a widely supported format for email messages and can be easily imported into various email clients.

Step 1: Export Emails from Thunderbird
Open Thunderbird: Launch the Thunderbird email client on your computer.
Select the Emails: Choose the emails you want to convert to EML. You can select one or multiple emails by holding down the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac) while clicking on the emails.
Export Selected Emails:
Right-click on the selected emails.
From the context menu, choose "Save As" or "Save Selected Messages."
Choose a location to save the emails.

Step 2: Convert MBOX to EML
Locate the Saved Emails:
Navigate to the folder where you saved the selected emails. Thunderbird typically saves emails in MBOX format.
Rename the Files:
Thunderbird may save emails with .eml extensions. If so, you can skip this step. If the files have .mbox extensions, you need to rename them to .eml. To do this, right-click on the file, choose "Rename," and change the file extension from .mbox to .eml.

Step 3: Use EML Files
Access EML Files:
You can now access and use the converted EML files as needed. They are standard email message files that can be opened by various email clients, including Outlook, Windows Mail, and others.
Import EML Files into Your Email Client:
If you want to import these EML files into another email client (e.g., Outlook), you can do so by using the import feature of that client. The steps for importing EML files can vary depending on the email client you're using.

Programming / Re: How To Convert OST Files To PST Format Without Outlook? by petergroft: 10:33am On Aug 16, 2023
Converting an OST (Offline Storage Table) file to a PST (Personal Storage Table) file manually can be a challenging process, as OST files are meant to be used in conjunction with the email client (such as Outlook) and aren't designed for direct conversion. However, in certain situations, you might need to convert an OST file to PST, such as when you no longer have access to the original email account or need to recover data from a corrupted OST file. Please note that these steps might not work perfectly for all scenarios and should be approached with caution.

Here's a general approach to manually convert OST to PST:

Backup Your OST File:
Before attempting any manual conversion, make sure to create a backup of your original OST file. This is crucial to prevent data loss.

Create a New PST File in Outlook:

Open Outlook.
Go to the "File" tab.
Click on "New" > "Outlook Data File."
Choose "Office Outlook Personal Folders File (.pst)" and click "OK."
Specify a name and location for the new PST file.
Configure a New Outlook Profile:

Close Outlook if it's already open.
Open the Windows Control Panel.
Search for "Mail" and open the "Mail (32-bit)" or "Mail (Microsoft Outlook 2016)" option.
Click on "Show Profiles" and then "Add."
Follow the prompts to create a new Outlook profile and connect it to a new email account (you can use a dummy account for this purpose).
Import OST Data to the New PST File:

Open Outlook with the new profile you created.
Go to the "File" tab.
Click on "Open & Export" > "Import/Export."
Choose "Import from another program or file" and click "Next."
Choose "Outlook Data File (.pst)" and click "Next."
Browse and select your original OST file.
Choose the destination folder in the new PST file (usually your mailbox) and click "Next."
Optionally, choose to allow duplicates to be created or not.
Click "Finish" to start the import process.

Computers / Re: How Do We Fix Kindle Paperwhite Won't Connect To Wi-fi? by petergroft: 11:04am On May 12, 2023
If your Kindle Paperwhite won't connect to Wi-Fi, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

Restart your Kindle: Press and hold the power button until the device turns off, and then press the power button again to turn it back on. This may help refresh the device and resolve connectivity issues.

Move closer to the Wi-Fi router: Make sure you are within range of the Wi-Fi router and try to connect again. Walls, furniture, and other objects can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal, so try to minimize any obstructions between your Kindle and the router.

Restart your Wi-Fi router: Unplug your Wi-Fi router from the power source, wait for 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. Wait for the router to restart and try to connect to Wi-Fi again.

Forget and re-add Wi-Fi network: Go to the "Settings" menu on your Kindle, select "Wi-Fi," and then select the network you are having trouble with. Select "Forget This Network," and then try to reconnect by selecting the network again and entering the password.

Update your Kindle software: Make sure your Kindle has the latest software version installed. Go to the "Settings" menu on your Kindle, select "Device Options," and then select "System Updates" to check for and install any available updates.
