Thunderbird Portable

Hi All,

About two months ago I discovered Portable Apps and now run 75% of the s/w I use from my USB mem. I don't know how I got by before.

At this moment I am finding out. I have to monitor many email accounts so Thunderbird Portable was ideal set up in imap mode. Today I have no idea why I get the error message "Could not connect to mail server, ........... the connection was refused.". I have no idea what to do.

Running
Windows XP SP 2.
Thunderbird Ver. 2.0.0.16

The U3 application was working fine for months, then all of a sudden every time I try to start Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 from ScanDisk I get windows Error Report notification window and thunderbird shuts down. I take the ScanDisk to another computer and it works fine. Tells me that one computer is ok and the other one has a problem. Anyone might know what that problem is and how to fix it?

A Real puzzler...

I installed T'Bird portable on my ubs flash stick. Made a copy of my profile and put in Data profile. When I start TB nothing shows in mail accounts, messages or files. Its as if I just start a new program (asking for setup of mail accounts etc).
What am I doing wrong.
Thanks for any help.

Well, thats the problem: I had previously a local TB and FF install & after I removed it & installed Portableapps, the continued appearing at the add programs list but with the path of the portable ones. ¿how might this be solved?

After updating on version 2.0.0.16 i have no mail accounts visible. If i click on "Extras" "Konten" i can see all my settings.

Message in "Fehler-Konsole"
Fehler: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIStringBundle.GetStringFromName]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: XStringBundle :: getString :: line 17" data: no]

Any idea?

Issue list is three problems and growing...

Empty Trash Folder
First sign of trouble was the Empty Trash Folder Problem reported February 25, 2008. There is no solution, so I've been living with it ever since.

Change Account Settings
Second problem presented itself in July 2008. TB will not allow me to change any account settings. Actually I can change anything, but the OK button does nothing, and the only way out is to CANCEL. This sucks.

Most times when I click a subscribe rss link in a website, it sends me to a feedburner website, with a plethora of options for rss readers of all types. One option is also "Universal Subscription Mechanism"...

To many options, and I've had mixed results; what do I click on, or copy and paste, to subscribe the rss with my thunderbird program from the feedburner website?

When I read the topics posted in this forum, I cannot fathom that people manage to have so many problems with TBP - I mean, I have 3 different TBPs (one exclusively for web mail accounts) running on my home PC (XP SP3), sometimes all or just one are transferred to a USB stick or portable drive and used off-premises, then copied back, but I've never (yeah, I know I shouldn't say this, but "touch wood") had any of the problems posted here. The updates are a wizz, everything in its place, the proper updates works from minute 1 (I wish other portable apps projects e.g.

Some times it get launched as new, that is, asking to make a new account and without any personalized attributes. What could be the reason for that? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I installed the Thunderbird portable edition (version 2.0.0.16 (20080708)), for a while. It has been working perfectly until last update.
Now it keeps trying dowload all messages from the 15.th of january until 20.th of July then stops and tell me "there are no new messages on the server" (there are quite a lot !).

I try to delete profiles, to re install the programm (old and updated versions).... always the same !

Thank you for your help.
