NSTMP folders

Submitted by Miles on February 3, 2007 - 1:34am

A new twist. Have found several times over the past couple of days, new folders under Inbox called NSTMP and -1 and -2. These generally contain incoming msgs meant for "Me" folder in inbox,. But once "Me" disappeared and NSTMP-2 consisted of duplicates from "Pending" which also is under Inbox.

To correct the situation, had to move msgs to the appropriate folder, then delete NSTMP folder and sometimes that is difficult to delete. Has anyone experienced this and know of a prevention?

SMTP password requirement

Submitted by linz on January 26, 2007 - 11:10pm

I am testing on my own home computer. The email setup I have used is exactly the same as my normal email client but...Tbird asks me for an SMTP password with an offer to save same. However, it just keeps on asking over and over again. Can anybody tell me why? The password provided is correct and correctly entered. I use Incredimail on one PC and Outlook Express on another and have previously used T/bird full version without difficulty.

How do I archive old emails?

Submitted by burl0029 on January 26, 2007 - 2:01pm

First, a question: how much of a performance decrease am I going to see as old emails build up? At what point does that happen (i.e. when I have X megs of emails stored in my TB folders)? Second, is there an easy/safe way to archive my old emails?

More instances of PTB at the same time?

Submitted by kermik on January 26, 2007 - 9:07am

I have 2 "installations" of Thunderbird Portable on two different drives - one for private & work and another for å club I'm running, all in all 17 different accounts. I would like to keep them separate, i.e. not having all of them in one instance of PTB, but when I have one instance open and try to start another, I get the message:
"Another instance of Thunderbird is already running. Please clos other instances of Thunderbird before launching Thunderbird Portable."
Is there any way to circumvent this?

Thankful for suggestions.

Auto Config on Startup for Roaming Portable...

Submitted by Walter Howard on January 25, 2007 - 3:02pm

I could use some help setting up my Thunderbird mail system?

I'm new to this open source stuff, so please forgive me if I seem inept (Actually, I am) Smile

What I'm trying to do is set Thunderbird up so that regardless of what system I happen to be using, I can simply plug in my Cruzer USB micro with Thunderbird and receive my email from several different email accounts.

email password

Submitted by younglm on January 24, 2007 - 9:37am

When setting up my account I am not prompted to enter a password. I need to have a password entered so that I can connect to my sbcglobal.net account.

What am I missing?
