Here are some common issues people experience when upgrading to 3.0:

  1. Asking For Master Password - This appears to be an issue with manually imported certificates. A possible solution has been posted.
  2. Blank or Error-Filled Screen Thunderbird Screen - This can be due to the Kaspersky antispam extension which can be manually removed to fix it.

Thunderbird P.E. screenshot

I just noticed that the screenshot for Thunderbird is, shall we say, rather old(?). You may want to update it using a more current version of Thunderbird.

Address Book Link / Stand Alone

DADSGETNDOWN - February 5, 2012 - 9:10pm

Well I have 2 things here. (1) I want and was searching for a standalone address book or contacts, with all the features, email addresses, phone numbers, birthdates, mailing Address and such, still want one and found a post a long time ago with a few others that do also. Something small and simple like Pnotes or stickies and such. (2) It seems it is waste of a "getapps" link, because in the Office Section is, Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition (Address Book) - Email client's built-in address book with import/export functions.

Importing all data from TB10 beta to TB10 stable

I have installed and used TB10 beta. And everything is fine. But, now that TB10 stable is out I'd like to migrate to this one. Easier said than done. The import doesn't see the Beta. Maybe it's because it's not installed, it's a PortableApp. But is it possible? After all they are the same version, the latest beta and the first stable. Could you help me on this one?

Thunderbird 3 Can't rename IMAP folder

nhml - January 25, 2012 - 2:27pm

Hi everyone

I'm using the Thunderbird 3.1.14 and I have one IMAP account that needs to be changed it's "Sent" folder to "Sent items". Though when editing the "Sent" folder options I can't change the "Name" or "Location" elements. Also I have tried to change it on the "about:config" the field "mail.identity.id7.fcc_folder" "imap://acount and server/Sent Items" but when i start thunderbird again this field returns to it's older value.

Thank you

ThunderbirdPortable - Order in dowloading e-mails from several accounts.

michele.bartole... - January 23, 2012 - 5:16am

Dear,

since some weeks ago my ThunderbirdPortable installed on my USB Drive used to download e-mails from my four accounts following an order I liked: first my main account, then the others.

But now the order is changed, and my main account "slid down".

Seems a tiny matter, but this quite slows down the whole operation...

How can I come back to the previous order, or better control this order? Maybe something in the config sheet?

Thanks.

Lightning Extension Not Working

Rocket Rider - January 12, 2012 - 5:39pm

So I upgraded my TB portable and then attempt to upgrade Lightning but it will no install. The script stops running. Now I have no access to my calendar. I would like to learn to to make it run, or revert TB 9 whatever back to an earlier version that worked with Lighting. Where are the calendar files? I was thinking if nothing else worked, I would just delete all of it and start over, but I don't want to loose that data.

Where is thunderbird_portable_3.1.7

Alec_Burgess - January 11, 2012 - 11:59pm

I've chosen at least for now to remain with the Thunderbird Portable 3.x series.
I keep getting notices to upgrade to 3.17 (I'm currently at 3.16)
Googling and searching this site located:
http://portableapps.com/news/2010-12-09_-_thunderbird_portable_3.1.7 but the download link on it points to the main download and hence to Thunderbird 9.

Does anyone know where I can locate 3.17 which apparently was a some past time available?

[Edit add] I suspect the above was an erroneous post since on

Digital signing in Thunderbird Portable using an account with copied mail produces messages unverifiable by OpenSSL

NickApplenet - January 5, 2012 - 8:54am

Environment: Thunderbird Portable 9.0.1 on Windows XP Pro (32 bit).

Thunderbird Portable is run from the local hard drive (not from a USB one).
Thunderbird Portable has been upgraded from earlier versions gradually.

Scenario:

Installed automatically (from TERENA Personal CA) a personal certificate in Firefox Portable 9.0.1. I created certificate backup and imported into Thunderbird Portable (9.0.1), then I enabled in an account signing and encryption using this certificate. The account includes copied mail. Signed messages sent using this account cannot be verified.
