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'.

Vista problem

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 :

Thunderbird hangs on: Determining which messages to Index

Submitted by tom.forrester@b... on March 23, 2010 - 4:16am

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 won't launch (?)

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?
