Recieving mail but sometimes it does not BOLD the folder with new mail in it

Submitted by mr_bruce on February 25, 2009 - 3:53am

I have version 2.0.0.19.

I recieve the emails alright but many times it does not bold the folder with new mails in it.

I use alot of filters to sort the emails.

The folder only becomes bold after I have clicked it. It´s almost as thunderbird only then notices that there is new mail in the folder.

I have many folders, so clicking on all of them when checking mail is not really an option.

Any ideas?

Copying Profile A Partial Failure

Submitted by eschamp on February 23, 2009 - 3:25pm

I copied all the files and folders under c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\0c9iapp6.PJH\ to the folder k:\ThunderbirdPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\

All of the accounts appear but the subfolders do not.

Also, when I started a download from one account, it went back to Jan 24th.

My filters are not there.

My extensions are not there.

Account & Mail gone from T-Bird Portable

My issue sounds similar to another recent post, with a slight difference.

My whole account disappeared (including email, of course) but my Address Book and Tools - - > Options settings remained as I had set them.

I installed 7-Zip_Portable_4.62.paf.exe as Thunderbird Portable itself recommended, and I was able to extract the msf files. However, when I go to open them, Thunderbird itself opens, but not my files.

ascending/descending & threaded/unthreaded

Submitted by Miles on February 13, 2009 - 10:13am

Have 150 folders in TB 2.0.0.16 which were set for descending/threaded. When opened in Portable all reverted to ascending/unthreaded. And this continues to change back every time the program is turned on in a different computer.

Discovered that when TB was first opened all of the folders had question marks in lieu of actual msg counts, both unread and total. Go to View/Sort by and they read as I had them set. But when click on the folder it then changes the question marks to the actual numbers and the settings are reversed.

Help syncing local ThunderBird/Lightning with Portable Version! Recommended Profiles & pathways dont exist!

Submitted by mzports on February 12, 2009 - 7:16pm

Hi everyone. Yeah, i know...a NEWBIE! i've searched and read everything i could find on this, and nothing quite works. Also i'm not computer savy...other than data entry....so file type "speak" and other lingo goes way over my head!

I've recently dumped MS Outlook in favor of Thunderbird w/lightning on my desktop. I've entered all my addresses & address books, appointments, daily logs in the calendar, etc. ,but as far as syncing to the portable usb drive, i've only been able to install the portable program w/lightning extension and that's it.

Using the TBP mails folder as default in Ubuntu Thunderbird (or even Evolution)

Submitted by Laszlo on February 11, 2009 - 10:36am

Hi, folks!

Is there any way to use the mails folder on TBP (in my pendrive) as default folder in any mailing soft on Ubuntu?

I mean, I want to have the pendrive with all mails actualized without having to "sync" (copy folders). Is possible to do it?

Thank you for your time, and sorry for my english ^^

Can't send mail: Sending of message failed. Error writing temporary file.

Submitted by Hilmar on February 11, 2009 - 8:10am

I have a really urgent problem:

When trying to send mail (regardless from what account) i get the errormessage: "Sending of message failed. Error writing temporary file." I do have enough diskspace, none of the folders is writeprotected.

The problem occured for the first time today, and there is no event that comes to mind that could have caused this. I did not change any options in thunderbird.

Version is: 2.0.0.19 (20081209), running from usb-drive

Who can help?

Thunderbird bug

Submitted by ghisirds on February 6, 2009 - 4:18pm

It has happened me to save received mail with thunderbird, the email client branded Mozilla, but when I'm saving I don't have a default name and I have to insert manually a new one.

Usually the mail subject is proposed as name of the file but this doesn't happen when in the subject there are not conventional characters.
When this happen I cancel the saving, go back to the mail where i copy the subject and save again pasting the name but all this is very unconfortable!!

Thunderbird Portable not receiving or sending mail

Submitted by raspore on February 5, 2009 - 4:28pm

My boss has thunderbird on his main office pc but wanted to check his email from other locations from his laptop. I downloaded the Thunderbird Portable to a usb flash and it does not seem to be working. I cannot receive email at all, it does not show any of the email that should have been in the inbox. I sent a test email and the pc received it but he laptop did not. There was NOT a profile "profile" folder within the "Data" folder so I created on and copied his entire default folder into the "profile" folder I created. What have I done wrong or not done right? Thanks, Heid
