-horn- - January 15, 2009 - 3:03pm

hi,

I juste started portable thunderbird as usual, but it seems, that it is all blank and all mails and settings are gone.

what happened and how do I get them back? I tried to to put the profiles folder in the new version of thunderbird portable, but that didn't help.

so, can anybody help me andtell me, how I can get access to me profiles and mails again?

a big thanks in advance!

Andreas

Did you found any virus in your flash drives recently?

HAve you removed your flash drives without unmounting first?

Did you already checked if there is something in your \data\profile folder?

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report Laughing out loud

The Solution

This problem is also mentioned on: http://portableapps.com/node/17898

It just happened to me as well, and this solution worked for me:
Apparently the "prefs.js" file was renamed to "prefs-1.js". Just rename it back and all is well again.
The file can be found in your '...\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile' folder.

What i would like to know is how this came to happen. Anyone?

(I use a U3 menu before my portable apps menu and run windows 7)

I've had a similar problem, but due to a slightly different circumstance, I made a separate post.

Perhaps the solution to both of these problems will come down to the same answer . . . I'll be watching both posts with hopes of finding a solution.
