Hi,

I'm looking for help on how to transfer my emails from my missionary email account to my personal email account.

I've been following these steps on https://www.lifewire.com/move-or-copy-m ... er-1171948
but when I enter in my password on a popup box to continue the process, it says my password for my myldsmail.net account is incorrect. I believe it is an issue due to the myldsmail.net having to sign in through missionary portal.

Please help me, and thank you for your time.

I would suggest you speak with your Mission President or someone in the Mission office on how to access your missionary email account.

When my son attaches photos to his emails, I cannot open them. When I click on the links within the emails, my browser tries to send me to lds.org. When I log in as requested, I am told I don't have access because I'm not a missionary. Does my son need to set a setting on his account to share files or is something wrong on my side? Other people that he sends attached photos to are having the same issue.

Thanks for the help.

You may need to work through your mission office to get this resolved.

I apologize for the zombie post, but I feel my comments might be useful for future reference.

It is important to remember that once a missionary has come home, they have a limited window to remove their files before the church closes the account.

In response to the original posting, I would suggest seeing if you have access to a feature called "Google Takeout". This is a service provided by Google which you might have access to since the missionary email is a Gsuite user. (at least mine is...) It allows you to create a download of all the data in your account, which should include your emails.

Another option (which doesn't look promising if the Lifewire article didn't help) is to see if you can access the account using Thunderbird (a desktop email client). If so, you could use its save functionality (Ctrl-S) to make a copy of all your emails as a large pile of files.

I do not believe you will be able to access your old myldsmail account. Instead, you should go to the provider of the app(s) and give them your new email address. Email addresses change regularly, and the app provider should have a method of helping you provide the new address.

Are you asking how to get the email _addresses_ and email _subscriptions_ associated with your Church Account? If so, the link in russellhltn's post will get you there: https://account.churchofjesuschrist.org/ Use the 'Email Address' and 'Email Subscriptions' links.

Or, are you asking how you get the email _messages_ from your mission account? If so, I don't know the answer, but there is a lot of discussion earlier in this topic/thread.

I got home from my mission about 7 months ago. When I was on my mission, I used google photos to organize all the pictures I took. However, I forgot to Download them to my other email address, so when my missionary email got deleted I lost all of my photos. Is there any way to recover them?

Thanks.

The quickest way to get help on that topic is to ask your stake clerk if your branch is in a stake. If your branch is in a district, and if the district has a district clerk, he would be your best first contact. Otherwise, your mission office is likely the best contact for getting the quickest help.

I believe that when your call is ready you will receive an email from the Church telling you how to obtain access to it.

You need to talk to your Bishop.

Hello! I am looking for a way to add storage to my missionary's google photos. I currently have a google one family account and tried adding her that way, but when trying to accept the invitation it says that it's not possible because her google account is a g suite account. When trying to BUY new storage for her using her google account, it tells me that the administrator is only allowed to make those changes. She is about out of space and I'd really like to get this taken care of. There should be an easier way than me logging into her google photos account and trying to keep track of which ones I've downloaded and saved to my home computer. I'm worried that I'll miss some important photos for her. Plus this doesn't help with her shared albums with other missionaries. Any help would be SO appreciated!!

According to this post
Share a Google photo album...
it seems like you should be able to share a Google photo album with your missionary, then she can upload photos there and you can manage them. I'm no techie (that's painfully obvious :D ), but it seems your problem might be that you were trying to add her to an account, whereas the approach in the link simply shares a photo album with her.

Hi

I've always had all the pictures from my mission uploaded into the Google Drive from my mission email . So, a few days before I finish my Mission I've activated the opinion to share all the folders of pictures in my mission email to my personal email . The problem is that when I got home, I tried to acess that shared folders but it took me to a error page meaning that basically these folders of photos no longer exist because the origin email where they were saved had been delected . I didn't know about all this . There's any way I can have my pictures back ?

Thank you very much

Please see this post earlier in this thread:

viewtopic.php?p=153380#p153380

It sounds like you need to contact the GSD. Your ward clerk can give you the phone number.

Please see the response immediately before both of your posts. Nobody on the Forum can help with this, ask your local clerk to help you get in contact with Global Services.

According to this post accounts are purged (irretrievably deleted) 18 month after the missionary returns. In your case, that date has long passed.

This is the most current information for missionary mail accounts, as of May 2024:
----------
Missionary.org email accounts (including photos, drive, etc.) are no longer accessible 90 days after a missionary's release date. If no longer accessible, some Missionary.org email accounts may be retrieved up to 120 days after release by following these instructions:

1) Visit mail.missionary.org in a web browser (not the Gmail app).
2) Sign in using your Church Account Credentials.
3) Select Extend Access.
4) Click on Go to Individual Email.

It is recommended that you move all data (mail, photos, Drive, etc.) from your Missionary.org account prior to the extended date. By doing so will ensure that you retain your data.

Nobody is likely to be able to help without some more information on your situation:

Are you currently serving?

If released, how long ago?

Have you never been able to access emails, or did the problem just show up?

This is a user-to-user discussion forum. Nobody here can help you recover any of your data. If you're still on your mission, I'd suggest contacting the mission office to get started with whatever recovery process might be available. If you have returned, you might need to contact the Missionary Department. Your ward or branch leadership may be able to find contact information for them.

According to Church employee nmecantwin73 in post number 33, the chance of recovering the photos expired quite some time ago.

How can I access my missionary account? I forgot both my account and password, and my mission photos are stored in the email account I used during my mission. I served in the Philippine Baguio Mission from 2016–2018. Thank you.

The last word we got is you might be able to recover the account 120 days after release. Seven years ago? No backups would have been kept that long.

Sorry.

The Tech Forum is primarily user-to-user discussion and collaborative self help. We do not have any connection with missionary support; and no one here has the ability to do as you ask. The latest information on recovering missionary email/photos is provided in another topic here.
