Thunderbird Portable

I am using the latest version of Thunderbird Portable (3.0.3)on a USB Flash Drive. This evening - I suddenly was unable to reply to a message. The cursor will not show in the body and the original message no longer shows. I also was unable to write a new message - again the cursor will not show in the body. I have not installed any new themes, plugins. I reinstalled Thunderbird (I did not uninstall the old (3.0.3) version first?) - I was able to write one test Email and then the problem started again. I do not know how to get the Portable version to run in safe mode.

For about a week now , when I send a message and then go back to look at that message through the search local folders .. When I reopen my sent message -- It has no body content to it .. The people I email are getting the content -- It is just not copying it all into the sent folder . Any suggestions ?

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:

ОS - Windows XP SP Professional SP2.
CPU - Celeron 2.80GHz.
RAM - 2 Gb.
Thunderbird ver.3.0.0 - 3.0.3, portableapps.com - Russian. Upgrade from Thunderbird ver.2.x.
