Thunderbird Portable

Hello,

I installed Thunderbird portable 3.0.3 on my USB disc, copied mail files in the relevant folder, adjusted account and server settings as they were. Everything looks fine, I can receive e-mails without a problem, but I can not send any. The only difference with the conventional Thunderbird settings for outgoing server is unified option for SSL/TLS for connectio security in TBP while they are separate options in TB. Error message is 'connection time out with SMTP server'.

Thunderbird Portable is running well on Windows XP. I get back with POP protocol my gmail messages on my USB stick. Everything is ok when I want to read offline my emails on XP.

When I want to read them on Vista, I got this message after launching TBportable.exe :

When Thunderbird starts up it hangs on "Determining which messages to Index" and fails to load any mail.
The account settings are still displayed but no mail.

I am concerned about not do anything that will stop me recovering the data!

I can read other data from the flash drive OK.

Can anyone recommend a procedure so that I can at least recover my mail?

Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 is released some days ago. Will you release this 2.x as a portable app?

I have just upgraded and everything went fine, apart from I now have two hotmail accounts both sent and inbox with exactly the same emails in them.

How can I resolve this?

Dear all,

I'm a noob; please be gentle.

I'm kind of new to portable apps and decided to give them a try. Installed Thunderbird Portable 3 in my pen drive and though it launches, syncs with Gmail and what not in the first attempt, after a second time it just won't launch.

Kindly note that I am running Windows 7. For some reason after I deleted the Thunderbird Portable folder (with my data included) and reinstall/sync everything it works... once. If I exit and attempt to launch it just won't start.

I am not sure if anyone else has this or just me, but when I am clicked on a message header, the text turns white, which on the grey or white background, was funky.

I am guessing it is related to the theme, but I tried it in the default and it still was like that.

Anybody know where in the user config I would change the text colour, or to not have it change?

A Russian-speaking user (he doesn't  speak English) downloaded TB Portable v. 3 Russian from this site and now he reports a big memory leak. Here's the translation of his report:

I have a problem with Thunderbird Portable

If i use the option that the e-mail is sended with an receipt option

the mail won't be send to the receiver.

But if i deselect the receipt function everything is fine

Whats wrong ??

thnx for help skyerjoe

OK, I noticed this some time ago but thought I had done something wrong. Now just watched it happen and it was not me. Sometimes my emails are disappearing, not all emails just some of them. It appears that the entire 'thread' of emails from a sender will be deleted also, including any responses I may have sent. It appears to be happening when the folders are compacted. I compact at least once per day. Today I had received an email that I had not yet opened. When prompted to compact, I did, and then the email was gone, nowhere to be found.
