E-mails sobrepostos no Thunderbird

Alexandre Rodrigues Lopes

Na migração de um site fiz os backups dos e-mails do servidor. Criei as mesmas contas no Servidor novo e com as mesmas senhas. Mudei o DNS para o servidor novo (pensando em subir os e-mails da minha maquina para o novo provedor). Como as configurações eram idênticas houve uma sobreposição dos e-mails do provedor antigo e perdi tudo. Será que tem como recuperar os e-mails do provedor antigo em alguma pasta do Thunderbird?

Hi hospedagenscocar

My apologies but I can only offer support in English.

Google Translate:

When migrating a site, I made backups of the server's e-mails. I created the same accounts on the new Server and with the same passwords. I changed the DNS to the new server (thinking about uploading the emails from my machine to the new provider). As the settings were identical, there was an overlap of the old provider's emails and I lost everything. Is there a way to recover the emails from the old provider in a Thunderbird folder?

My Answer in English

>1. When migrating a site, I made backups of the server's e-mails. Perhaps you can get the missing email from the backup? Or switch the DNS back to the old server, get the email and copy the old emails to a Thunderbird local folder and switch the DNS back to the new server?

>2. Is there a way to recover the emails from the old provider in a Thunderbird folder?

If you saved the email to a local folder on Thunderbird you can get the email from TB's local folder

If you didn't then: I believe that if you use IMAP and the email is not on the new server then when the new server connects it will erase the old email in Thunderbird's IMAP folders. This is how IMAP works; this not a Thunderbird issue.

Hope that helps a wee bit! ...Roland
