Thunderbird Portable

Hi there!
I've been using TBP for some time now and have had no issues so far.

However, whilst checking emails it 'announced' that a newer version was available, would I like to update? I clicked yes.

It displayed that it was downloading the update, came to the end and explained that Thunderbird would have to restart to complete the update.

So I let it restart, but after ten minutes it still had not restarted. It had closed TBP and seemed to have stopped all activity. There was no activity on the laptop at all!

I updated a normal install of Thunderbird this morning. Afterward, I was met with a notice indicating that going forward, Thunderbird updates will happen automatically. I want to know if this is likely to cause difficulties for those using T-Bird Portable.

Thanks,

PortableApps asked me to upgrade TBird Portable which I did. TBird then opened after saying u/g was complete and immediately crashed - with a notice that Tbird system cannot run and has crashed. I cannot remember the exact words because they flashed up and were gone so quickly, but it did explicitly say it was crashing.

Hi all,
i'm from Germany and use Thunderbird Portable since 2.1.6
In the past, all updates done without any Problems, but now "Update 16.0.1" dont want to upgrad my TB Portable.

The Error means one or more Processes blocked the Upgrading.
I still rebooted my PC 5 times, same Error.

Following the Error displays:

Softwareupdate failed! (Softwareupdate fehlgeschlagen (in German))

The Update couldn't installed. Please be sure, no other Processes are active on this Computer. Please restart Thunderbird to try another Test.

in German:

My Portable Thunderbird version 16.0 keeps creating a folder under profile/mail called "Cache" with subfolders 0, 1, 2, 3 etc + letters A-F. When I delete the folder, they reappear when I restart Thunderbird. Mozilla forums says that this is used by the optional disk cache added in Thunderbird 3.0.
This happens even if I've set the space used by Thunderbird to zero in Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network & Disk Space -> Disk Space.
Any ideas anyone?

As the title says, Symantec detects threats in emails that have been deleted! Why does it do this and how can I stop it?

Hello,
I use thunderbird portable (15.0.1) on a external hard drive.

I used to miss some space on it few days ago, so I cleaned it and now 1go free space.

Yet, I have a message error of TP telling I need to free space.
I have compacted all my folders manually and with a special app for it.

How can i do?

thanks!!

I was using portable for more than a year but suddenly when I open thunderbird last night, I found all my emails profiles has disappear and the application is asking me to create new profiles again. So can I locate back my emails profiles folders especially the sent folders and the archives folders. Anyone able to advise? Thank you.

Sometimes this gets left behind (it is not always removed by app), too - AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Crash Reports\InstallTime .*

And, it does not seem to clear this automatically when found, on restart.

On the other hand,
Firefox 15.0.1 creates and removes this folder, [AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Extensions].

One thing I noticed is that Thunderbird creates a separate folder for
AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Crash Reports\InstallTime .*
Meanwhile,
Firefox uses AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports
And,

For a few years now I have used a sandisk cruzer titanium U3 stick with Thunderbird for my emails. Now have Windows 7 and I know it doesn't work with 7.

How can I transfer my email settings and, if possible, all my emails, from the cruzer to a new memory stick.

Thanks,

Mike
