Thunderbird Portable

Can not send mail after upgrading from TBP 2.0.0.23 to TBP 3.0

Submitted by snowballrider on December 13, 2009 - 3:43pm

TBP fails to send mail, I can recive mail från others without any problem.
When I try to send mail the ususal password question and after a couple of seconds I got a sign with buttons 'Retry','New password' and 'Cancel'. Didn't matter if I set the correct password or not the same sign popped up.

I deleted and reconfigurated the SMTP and still the same. After that I reconfigured the whole account but no differens. Then I downgraded to TBP 2.0.0.23 and it worked directly.

Submitted by cbusenitz on December 13, 2009 - 11:47am

I've decided to run my email program from my Thunderbird portable on my thumb drive only. How can I move all my files and messages from my Thunderbird on my hard drive to my Thunderbird portable. Can't drag and dump, because I can't open both at one time. Can anyone help me on this one?

Thunderbird 3.0: "Check mail" doesn't work

Submitted by stormowl on December 10, 2009 - 3:23am

Hi there!
I already had problems with the "Check mail" button under Thunderbird 2.x (solved it by using the "Get all mails" plugin). Now after upgrading to Thunderbird 3.0 I have the same problem again. Furthermore the "Get all mail" plugin is not working anymore now, too.
This means: When I try to check for mail via menu, tool bar button or "Get all mail" button just nothing happens at all. Sending mail is working fine.

Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks! Smile

Outlook Express, importing multiple indentities

Submitted by cajnik on December 10, 2009 - 2:45am

Hi, I installed thunderbird portable and imported everything from Outlook Express. It went great. Problem is, I was using 2 identities in Outlook Express and I got everything imported from the first, but nothing from the second.
I tried switching the identities in Outlook Express but Thunderbird portable always imports everything from the first identity?
Please help.
Thank you!

TBP 3. Archive function, email 'disappears' FIXED

Submitted by gimfred on December 10, 2009 - 1:04am

I have upgraded to tbp 3 today (09/12/10) and I've noticed that I am losing emails that I archive. I have emails in the archive from the 8th 12, so I have effectively lost two days of emails.

I tested this by emailing myself and archiving the email. It disappears. It isn't in the archive 'folder' nor can it be found by searching. I can get the test email back by ctrl+z, but that only works for the emails archived in this session.

I've also tested this in RC2 and it has the same problem.

I've set tbp3 to never delete emails.

Thunderbird 3.0 "Add Security Exception" window still opens!

Submitted by Wizard on December 10, 2009 - 12:57am

Hi!
I have 2 partitions in my system, C: which is restored after every reboot (using Deep Freeze) and D: which holds all my portable applications.

I've clean-installed Portable Thunderbird 3.0 in D: and the first time I created an account, a "Add Security Exception" window appeared for IMAP server, so I clicked "Confirm security exception" and ticked "Permanently store this exception".

The thing is that every time I reboot, the first time I launch Thunderbird, this window still appears!

Is this info not stored in the Thunderbird directory?
