Ok, moved this to the U3 Apps forum (Thunderbird Portable is the open portable app that works from any portable device... it's different from TB for U3).
What version of TB for U3 do you have? Does it have the PortableApps.com splash screen? (If not, it's an unlicensed, unsupported package) What version is it? (check in Manage Programs) Have you tried ejecting the device, rebooting and then restarting the app?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
sorry john only new to this so last thing i want is to upset you it is 1.5.0.42 verdor is portableapps.com+mozilla yes tried ten times over to remove it and plug it back in
Did anything go wrong in the update process? Did you happen to remove the drive or stop anything before TB had finished updating (it'll take 5 to 10 mins depending on your drive to fully update sometimes)?

no done everything to the letter then done the restart thats were it all went wrong
got that message. went on to the main thunderbird forums and they told me come see you it took about 3 min to download and update have a 2.8 with a gig of ram keep the computer very clean with all spyware and antiwirus software dont keep want i dont need never had a prob before with email o2 mail vodavone mail and gmail till today
Well, it looks like the update somehow corrupted itself. If this were Thunderbird Portable, I'd say to just reinstall it over itself. Unfortunately, U3 doesn't support this... so we have to get manual and a bit tricky now.
1. Download Thunderbird Portable 1.5.0.7 PR3
2. Run the EXE and install it anywhere you want.
3. Where you chose to install, you'll see a ThunderbirdPortable directory. Keep track of that.
4. Insert your U3 device fresh but don't start any programs.
5. Copy the contents (just the contents, not the actual directory) of the ThunderbirdPortable\App\thunderbird directory (from step 3) to the following directory on your U3 device:
?:\System\Apps\FEFECB84-0E05-42d8-B044-F2D0FCFF8C15\Exec\thunderbird
(Note that you'll have to show hidden directories to see this.)
6. Start of TB for U3 and let it update to 1.5.0.8
That should do it.

john thanks for keeping in touch i dont mean to be rude but my time difference is a little out it is 715pm here i have to pick my little one up so i dont want to rush what your saying to me so i will be back in touch later when dinner is over and get the mite to bed hope you dont mind thanks
gary
john just got back to the computer sorry about been away but the kids come first but im sorry to say got it working but lost every thing because of a update once bit twice shy never again will i put so much trust in your software
Did you follow the directions as written? At which step did you notice your data missing.
Here's the deal, your data is probably still there and intact. It would be at:
?:\System\Apps\FEFECB84-0E05-42d8-B044-F2D0FCFF8C15\Data\profile
That would contain your entire profile. Your saved messages would be in a Mail directory. Anything local would be in Local Folders. As long as this is all still there, it's recoverable by recreating your profile. Thunderbird's update process does *NOT* erase your profile or any profile bits. In fact, it doesn't touch your profile at all during an update. TB itself will update a couple minor things on its next launch.
The only reason they'd be gone is if you'd uninstalled TB for U3. When you do this, the U3 platform erases the application and all your data. The U3 Launchpad's dialogs are, unfortunately, not clear about doing this... so some people have made this mistake in the past.
And remember, I'm doing this for free. I'm not paid. So, there's only so much support I can do.

john your time has been to the upmost repect from me and im sure many many more people and im just not saying that because if i thought that i would not even reply
and im sure you have been in that boat before what i have done is downloaded the main one on the pc and not the portable one on my memory stick and i will just start all over again the important people will always email me so i will get them back in time for the ones i lost they hold no sentimental value again john thank you
