Thunderbird Portable

I recently went to load Thunderbird Portable, and it asked for account setup information. All my previous information was gone.

Now, everytime Thunderbird starts it asks for account information again.

Is there a setting pointing to a wrong location, or a corrupted file that could be causing this?

I've checked thru the forums and have been unable to find the answer. If I missed it, I do apologize.

When I run Thunderbird Portable, the launcher crashes on registry.dll

My master password function is corrupted. It asks for my master password when sending and receiving however it also asks for my pop and smtp passwords for each account every time. This occurs even if I select "have master password remember your password". Any suggestions as to remedy this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I'm new to this. How do I move my downloaded emails from portable to local TB? BTW...love regular TB.
Thanks,

Ok, we have an automatic proxy url here, and I got firefox portable to work putting that in.. and to get gaim portable to work, I took the output from the automatic proxy url to get some manual proxy info, and that worked.. but when I put in either the manual proxy or automatic proxy in Thunderbird.. it does not work..
It fails to connect.. I am connecting to my own imap server, so I troubleshooted a little.. I can use putty with the same proxy info to telnet a port and monitor on the firewall on the other end, and see the connection attempt being made.. but when I try thunderbird.. the connection attempt is never reaching the server with the same proxy settings.. I ever tried using the IP address of the server to get around name resolutions possibilities.. Oh.. another thing I tried.. I even forwarded the port on the firewall to another obsure port number just in case port 993 was blocked or something.. but that did not help.. Ideas?!?! I am just out of ideas..

I've posted on this before and John H was helpful in providing some ideas. My TBP still seems very slow opening emails. I'm wondering if it is just my hardware. Here's some info:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+
1GB Memory
Windows XP SP2
Profiles folder is about 600MB

I usually have Firefox open with TBP.

With them both open, my CPU usage is 5% or so. When browsing with Firefox, it may go to 30-50% and have 100% peaks, but you can still move around.

Are there any plans to make a portable version of the above mentioned program?

I've installed PT on my USB. I configered my account but my mail account needs a password to access.

By example:
server: mail.domain.com (ok)
username: name@domain.com (ok)
password: xxxxxx (WHERE TO ENTER??)

Please help..

Regards

I am shutting down Thunderbird Portable and then trying to safely remove the USB device. Even though I wait until the light has stopped blinking, sometimes it won't let me safely remove it!

I linked this to an appplication called ObjectDock. If i close that, then i can remove the device.

BUT, when i then shutdown my computer straight after, i get a Dr.Watson error message or something - it happens too quick for me to see what it is.

Even more of a problem is the fact that when i load up Thunderbird Portable again, some of my messages have corrupted and are lost! Luckily, the program just downloads them all again from the online server (i never delete the online storage), but obviously all the junk comes through too.

I've been using tbp for about 15 months from a portable hard disk at various sites. I also use ffp, xplorer2 and pstart, and I keep a couple of utils on there even tho' they are not strictly portable. I use the MrPostman to gateway into hotmail & yahoo. As long as I've used tbp I've always had to run it twice, sysints processexplorer and taskmanager always report the first instance as consuming 90%+ of the cpu cycles.

Why has it taken me so long to report - functionally it works fine, and even tho its a cpu hog, the OS is able to give other apps a reasonable slice of the action. I'm using 1.5.0.8, I tried v 2.0 beta but had problems so reverted to release version. Not sure what version of tbp I started with, whatever it was in about May 2005. I'd like to know if I'm the only person to experience these behaviours. The cpu hogging is apparent whether or not one is on or off line.
