Thunderbird for U3 won't start

Submitted by bschwob on June 3, 2008 - 1:46pm

I have been using Thunderbird for U3 on my flash drive for some time and I love it. Suddenly it won't start. I get the message "Runs Thunderbird from a U3 device has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are very sorry for the inconvenience." I have uninstalled and re-installed and I get the same thing. Any suggestions??

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I am using PTB on a usb flash drive. When I compose mails and hit the send button, it sends the email but the compose window stays open. The mail appears in the Send folder, but the compose window icon keeps showing in the task bar. When you click on the Compose window icon in the task bar the compose window don't pop up, but if you open up the "Task manager" it says that the compose window is still running as well as Thunderbird. So if I select the "TB compose" window process it just closes TB all together.
Any idea why this happens.

Email is gone!!!

I recently added another account to my Thunderbird portable email. I then decided that I didn't really need the other email account, so I deleted it. Now, all of my email that I had stored on there is gone. Folders and all. When I go into my flash drive, I can still see the folders listed in there, but then don't show in Thunderbird. It seems to have created a new email folder. It now has a -1 at the end. How do I get all of my email back to the way it was?

Sorting by Date - When Searching Emails

Submitted by Catfish931 on May 30, 2008 - 10:10am

Howdi,
Something that drives me nuts , and I am not sure if it is just a plain Thunderbird issue or if it is something to do with the Portable Version . I frequently search through old email for items .. When I search the old email and come up with a list - Many times I like to sort it by date --- WHile some sorting definately happens , It is never still completely sorted by date and I always ending up scrolling through emails ... Anyone know the solution ?

Thanks ,

Thunder bird was working fine yesterday at home, today cam into work and all I get is " an error occurred with the POP3 mailserver. Mailserver responded: " And that is all the info I get on all my accounts. I even changed the Mailserver and no change. Any idea what is going on? I have checked my main Mailserver by longing in over the web but that is working fine so it cant be them. I ran Clamwin on the usb memorystick and I reinstalled Thunderbird on top of the old version. Still no change.

I would be very grateful for your help.

Regards DF
