TBP with yahoo

After carefully reading

I still haven't been able to get TBP working with my yahoo account. I tried it with my inbox.com email address and it worked fine.

I noticed some people in a posting said it doesn't need the extension yahoo-1-1-16.xpi. Was this for standard yahoo webmail or the PLUS! account. With/without xpi i don't seem to be able to get it to work.

Can't Send E-Mail

Submitted by sierra3 on March 21, 2007 - 12:59am

I'm having trouble setting up my Roadrunner account through Thunderbird on my thumb drive. I can receive mail fine. When I try to send mail I get an error message:
Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed. Please verify that your e-mail address is correct in your mail preferences and try again.

I've double checked the smtp server. The status box shows connected to the smtp account when the error shows up. Anybody have an idea to fix this most frustrating problem?

Problem with local profile import

Submitted by googelybear on March 20, 2007 - 2:05pm

I want to use my local tb profile & mails in tb portable, therefore I copied prefs.js, abook.mab and the ImapMail/Mail foders to the tb portable profile folder (before starting it the 1st time). But when I start tb from my removeable drive it will still use the local profile (instead of the one on the usb drive). I noticed that in prefs.js absoulte paths are used (e.g. for .server.serverN.directory) and they still point to the local mail folders. So here's my question: How can I set them correctly? If I just use "\\ImapMail\\...." it will create a mail folder in the documents & settings dir.

Profiles and some messages vanishing

I am a newcomer to thunderbird-portable and am very excited to get it working. I downloaded version 2.0 and it worked awesome until i moved my drive. I had it installed on a 60gb usb portable hard drive. I got it all setup and then I unplugged it from my desktop and plugged it into my lappop. I opened up the program and it was fine. However, when I removed it from my laptop and returned it to my desktop, all the email folders were gone as well as the address book. I have lightning installed as well, but all of its info was still intact.
