Version 2.0.0.19: Loosing incoming emails?

If Thunderbird Portable is running, sometimes a new email is announced, but the marked email box or any other contains no new email. The marked email box is always the last box above local folder.
What to do?

Thanks,
khm

What email protocol?

  What email protocol are you using? Using IMAP, if you mark an email unread while not actually connected to the internet, when it gets a connection, it may see it as a new email and then automatically mark it as read again.
  I've had funny things like this happen before.

email protocol: pop

Today I loose 16 emails. The for incoming emails marked folder is empty, and there are only one person which know this email address (and did not send a email), so it is impossible that any other can send emails to this address.

do you have any filters set there?

such problem I have so far not met, so possibly you will have to give some more details how the mails were sent etc.

no filters

Server Setting: Server type : pop.
8 email boxes
1 local folder

I think the error appears after update to 2.0.0.19.
Can i overwrite this version with 2.0.0.18 without loosing my emails and settings?
Of course, i make a backup.

Thanks for replies.

No mail - just the "notifier"

I found that there no actual new mail - it was just the "notifier" that kept making sounds. I never did see the pop-up notifier box, just heard the sound.

I did all sorts of things like disabling auto-deletes, junk, rules, and other stuff. Made it keep logs and watched it closely.

When I manually logged into the usa (dot) com web site and cleaned it out, the false notifications stopped. I haven't seen (or heard) one since. I believe that there might have been a corrupted email that was never fully marked as "read".

it is

the original poster is complaining about new emails not showing up in his Thunderbird. He experienced the same and found a solution. In his case, it wasnt really new mail but just something wrong with the account which got fixed by logging in to the webmail interface and clearing it.

So I think yes it is relevant.

Well

hey i have had a problem with Thunderbird. the portable one and the one in my Linux Mint Distro. None will download anything anymore. this is most annoying. I have gone back to Gmails web mail now.

It all started when i upgraded to 2.0.0.19. now nothing works and Thunderbird is a dead program.

*edit* this is strange as Thunderbird has been a good app up until now. its so annoying as i prefer it to gmails webmail.

Not much

"It broke and it don't work no more" isn't giving us much to go on here.

What have you tried to do to fix the problem?

Heres what i can remember

I deleted and reset my account from scratch > nothing still not working.

went to gmails and reset the email pop 3 settings > again still nothing.

tried installing several older version of TB again > still nothing.

searched the web for help > nothing.

contacted gmail > still waiting on there response.

this is all I can remember so far. I may have done some other things.

Got I managed to get Linux Mint Local TB working now.

Y would the latest Portable version be causing emails to not download?
