Thunderbird Portable

Hi, so I installed thunderbird portable on my flash drive, downloaded my emails from google to the same flash drive, then transferred everything from the flash drive(including the app) to a DVD via a MAC computer. I did NOT install the App on the DVD. When I open the DVD it shows that the files are all there as far as I can tell. I did NOT install the app on the DVD since it was being transferred using a friends computer and I didn't want the app to install the temp files on his computer.
Now i want to use the App which is on my flash drive in the following way:

I'm just trying to untangle my administrator's install of T/Bird Portable. Its a teal mess of folders - not just the ones I see on a fresh install.

Also there is at least one corrupt set of files.

If I freeze her old install and make a new one which files or folders should I move across to keep her existing mail records - looks like some are stored in "local folders" and some with the profile of the three email addresses she uses from this install.

Also ho do I get the new install to "see" the copied over files?

Many times I have found that when I launch TBP I get a message saying TB is running but not responding. This is when I have been using TBP then closed it. It seems that the window closes (it is not minimized and not visible on the Applications sheet of Task Manager) but does not shut down TB (it is still visible in the Process sheet).

I'm not sure when this started, it seems to have been with TB 6.

Up to yesterday my TB6.0.2 was working perfectly. Today it has been loading messages extremely slowly.

I have my folders compacted regularly and I have not recently installed a new anti-virus package or upgraded my current one.

What would the other causes of this problem be please?

Thanks

Paul

In the past often problems with the installation of extensions (eg Lightning) on an USB-Stick are discussed here in the forum. Mainly, this problem expressed with a message, that a Script may be busy, or it may have stopped responding (see also the screenshot Unresponsive script). The background to this alert titled "Warning: Unresponsive script" is the fact that the script just needs a little more time for processing.

Installed TB 6 portable on flash drive and ran the import wizard to import my SM 2.3 mail and all other info -- it said it was successful but atlas no accounts. Any ideas what has happened?

After TB 6 there are some new updates to use for accessing webmail (hotmail, yahoo, gmail etc).

[Links removed; there is no explanation why they would be needed and they contain executable code which could easily contain malware, and they are not specifically relevant to the portable version - mod Chris]

I have no problem using my portable Thunderbird for email,but when I try to attach to email from another program, like photos, it takes me to Windows Live. No option to change to Thunderbird. Any suggestions?
