Hello,
after using Thunderbird Portable under XP Professional for a few month without any problems, I ran into some SERIOUS trouble now. I had one obsolete POP account that I deleted the usual way (Tools > Account settings > Remove account). I'm not sure this is the cause of the problem, but I have no idea what else could be.
After that, TP refused to start again. I.e. it starts showing the splash screen and terminates after one or two seconds without even showing the main window. It also disappears from the Taskmanager.
I copied the TP folder to another computer (I'm normally using it from my local harddisk), where the symptoms are only slightly different: The main window appears for one or two seconds without showing any accounts or e-mail , then the standard XP crash dialogue appears offering to report the problem to Microsoft...
I hope someone here has an idea what to do about this and/or how to restore my archived messages which I totally depend on...
Thomas
PS: I'll be traveling for most of the next 36 hrs or so, so I won't be able to respond to any replies quickly. Please post some advise anyway...
