I've just upgraded to ThunderBird Portable 2.0.0.9 on my USB key and there appear to be a few bugs.
One is a space at the bottom of the window with a line of code in the middle

THE ABOVE IS WHAT IS TAKING UP ABOUT HALF MY ENTIRE TBP SCREEN AT THE BOTTOM. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A SAFE WAY TO DEAL WITH THIS, PLEASE ADVISE.
ALSO, I HAVE NO SCROLL BAR ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN EITHER IN THE MESSAGE PANE OR ABOVE. PRETTY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE TO USE THE SCROLL BUTTONS ON THE KEYBOARD TO MOVE FROM MESSAGE TO MESSAGE AND THEN FROM LINE TO LINE IN THE INDIVIDUAL MESSAGE B/C OF NO SCROLL BARS.
ANYONE??

SPEAK IN ALL CAPS AGAIN AND YOU'LL BE YELLED AT (IN UPPER CAPS) BY EVERYONE!
Seriously though, it's probably a corrupt profile/extensions.rdf. Try deleting extensions.rdf in Data\profile.

I'm pretty sure that's writing/typing. But if you're computer talks to you that's cool.

ver 2.0.0.9 installation issues
Hi Bob....
I've just started with PortableApps and installed TBird yesterday and have exactly the same message at the bottom of the window.
Have you had a resolution yet - being a newbie it's not clear to me from the ensuing posts.
Kind regards,
Martyn

did you have an old
version you installed it over?
You should find a file called "offline.manifest" inside your \ThunderbirdPortable\App\thunderbird\chrome folder.
Delete it and restart.
That fixed it for me on a clean install of 2.0.0.9 over 1.5.10.
@John I think you should let the installer do this as of the next release.

Don't Know
It's not Thunderbird or Thunderbird Portable's fault, it's a bad extension that causes the issue, so it's pretty rare. And I'm not sure if that file is normally used for actual user stuff (I think it is) so I wouldn't want to delete it unnecessarily.

Are you sure
about the extension?
I installed a clean version of 1.5.0.10 onto my desktop and updated it with 2.0.0.9 and i had the issue.
But if the file contains user data we should leave it.

That fixed it for me too
I've deleted "offline.manifest" inside your \ThunderbirdPortable\App\thunderbird\chrome folder and now the application appears to function perfectly.
Whilst I don't pretend to understand the whys and wherefores I thank you kindly for your assistance.
Kind regards,

"offline.manifest" issue in 2.0.0.12
All of a sudden (he said, dramatically), the error message started appearing on the above (later) version. Maybe it's because I plugged the portable drive into my new Vostro with Vista SP1 (PortableApps appears not to work but I'll investigate that later) over the weekend and maybe it isn't.
So I deleted "offline.manifest" inside my \ThunderbirdPortable\App\thunderbird\chrome folder and, "Hey Presto", Thunderbird no longer loads at all.
Being thorough, I don't delete files, I erase them.
Any thoughts (not too rude) gratefully received.
I've solved my own problem.
Having go TBird running on another machine the offline.manifest file was recreated. I simply closed TBird, renamed offline.manifest to offline.manifest.old and relaunched TBird.
Full function is now restored.
