read messages become unread

Submitted by rustyconc on March 29, 2007 - 8:59pm

Thunderbird Portable's habit of reverting read messages to unread is a real pain.

I've so far noticed this when
1) TP is run on a new machine
see https://portableapps.com/node/3405
2) Message Search is run on a folder
3) Other times... apparently randomly, just some of the older messages in a folder (which hasn't been visited recently... perhaps since the last upgrade?) are newly marked unread.

This behavior has been present for at least 1.5 years (since I started using TBP... not exactly sure what version, but I keep uptodate... right now TBP 1.5.0.1)

Local folder backups

Submitted by jessejazza on March 26, 2007 - 4:19pm

Having just returned to using an email client (used webmail for a while) i'd be grateful if someone could suggest how often one should backup the files. Also having read a couple of posts on losing messages [usually due to inbox getting too large] - what is the SAFE limit to go to. I remember my inbox in Eudora crashing several years ago.

Sorry if this is listed in their help file but i couldn't see it.

thanks

Layout - Address Book

Submitted by wonderboy on March 26, 2007 - 6:01am

hi guys,
just switching over from 'the other' email client.
i would really like to be able to view my address book in the bottom left corner of the main window, like 'the other' email client but i cant seem to get it to go there.
i hope there is a way to do it and that the BIG open space there can be used for something and is not just a big open space.
i know its just pedantics but it would really help me to make the switch and toss the other muppets for good!!

TBP - how to check if virus scanner is working?

Submitted by jessejazza on March 24, 2007 - 11:28pm

I found that TBP seems to work fine. I use AVG as a virus scanner and as it downloads mail so quickly i'm wondering if it is scanning for viruses. How can one be sure - AVG used to leave a printed message at the base of each email which i don't get anymore.

Virus scanning used to slow up downloading mail even with broadband.

thanks
