Thunderbird Portable

This is a copy and paste from a thread a also started over at the mozillazine forums.

G'day.

I use portable Thunderbird and have had no dramas up until now.
I have been using version 2.0.0.6 for ages and decided that i had better upgrade after reading the secunia warning http://secunia.com/advisories/29133/
So i grab the latest thunderbird portable https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable and proceed to remove the original thunderbird folder from my usb drive and replace it with the latest version and copy my profile back to the usb drive.

I just got a message from Thunderbird that a new version had been downloaded and that I should restart Thunderbird to install it, which I did. Now Thunderbird does not work anymore. I can double-click the Icon and I get the Portable Apps splash screen. Then nothing. I have already restarted my computer, but it does not help. How do I get Thunderbird back to work without losing all my emails and having to go through all the configuration settings again?

i have a free personal certificate from thawte and when i send a signed message i got the following error

"error establishing an encrypted connection to smtp.mail.yahoo.com.br. error code: -12195"

any clue to solve this issue?
thanks to all replies!

I can't see how to stop T-bird from attaching my vCard to sent emails by default. I can prevent my vCard from being attached to individual emails while composing, but I'd like to prevent this from happening by default.

Hi all. I satarted using TBP recently, and filled up most of the memory on the USB flash. I deleted many of my emails, but that caused my available space to SHRINK. How do I actually free up memory? (i tried hitting the "compress" button, but got some error. Would appreciate some help with this

When I right-click a Trash folder and choose "Empty Trash", the trash folder disappears. Then I can no longer delete messages in that account. Apparently there is no place for them to go. The same behavior happens in Email Accts, RSS Accts, and Local Folders.

If I restart TB then the Trash folder appears again, complete with all items that were supposed to have been deleted.

Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (Portable Apps)

Hola,
I use Tb portable since 5 months ago, and all worked fine.
But one week ago, i can't send mails.
My TB says:
""the message no could be sent because connecting SMTP server mail.riseup.net failed. The server maybe unavailable or is refusing SMTP conections. Please verify that your SMTP settings is correct and tray again, or else contact your network adminstrator"
what's the problem?
(sorry for my english)

thanks!!!
Saludos!

I've tried 2.0 before, but it lacks having the drop down view menu to the left of the the message search menu which allows you to view messages that you have "labeled", "people I know", "has attachments", "recent", etc. Is this feature actually on 2.0 but hidden or can be resurfaced with an extension?

Also, having the search field on top along with the toolbar icons limits the number of icons I can put up there (I use the lightning calendar, so that adds 5 more).

Running Thunderbird Portable version 2.0.0.9 (20071031)

Can't print emails. I go to print, I see the driver start to spool, and then suddenly Thunderbird vanishes. Does this even in safe-mode with all extensions turned off.

Hello dear readers,

this might be a no-brainer but ... how do i reimport my PortableApps-Thunderbird-Profile into my Desktop-PC-Thunderbird-Installation?

Simply copying it over won't do any good, because the file-structure is different, right? (And the paths in prefs.js are as static as they used to be 2 years ago )

Thank you for your replies!
