Thunderbird Portable

I have just downloaded TBPortable 2.0 RC1. Generally it is fine. But at the very bottom of the screen (below the on line indicator and Download progress, is a window with some garbled HTML. It reads:

<menu id="offlineMenuItem"insertAfter="trashMenuSeparator" label="&offlineMenu.label;" accesskey="offlineMenu.accesskey;">
----^

Where the pointing caret appears to point to the very first <

Hello & nice to meet you!

I am having an issue with forwarding emails. Whenever I use the forward option, the full email header details are copied into the mail. This happens no matter whether the VIEW->HEADER option is set to full or normal. Does anybody know how to stop this from happening? The normal 4 or 5 lines of header would be fine, but not the 50-line extended header info. Forwarding ist set to "inline" by the way.

I have had some hints in this thread on the TB support forums, but was unable to get a solution:

I have discovered that, while downloading new messages, there is a file "newmsg" that is saved on the hard drive in the local user's temp directory (\Documents and Settings\[user]\Local Settings\Temp\). It seems to be a placeholder for the current message being downloaded. When the message is downloaded, "newmsg" is removed and apparently imported into the Thunderbird mailbox. then, "newmsg" is recreated for the next incoming message. I have opened up the "newmsg" file in Notepad, and it is the full e-mail, headers and all!

This has happened a couple of times now, but I have opened Thunderbird 2 (updated now to 2.0.0.4) and have found that I have one months worth of emails missing.

Is it possible to recover this emails? These emails are very important to my work, and I need to be able to read them.

I've gotten confused with all the references to Thunderbird Portable v2 Release Candidates and Betas. What is the link for the latest and greatest Thunderbird Portable. Is it Thunderbird_Portable_2.0.0.0_PRERELEASE2_en-us.paf.exe, found at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151395&package_id=..., and released on 4/20/2007? Or is there a later version somewhere?

Thanks,
Geodog

My copy of Thunderbird autoupdated to 2.0.0.4 and I chose to install the update after starting the next time. Well when I opened Thunderbird again, it installed the update and all data appears to be gone. Now I have a backup at home, but I am at work now. I downloaded a new copy and put it on a new thumbdrive and attempted to copy over my data file, which looks to still have all my info in it, but I get an error message that prefs.js is corrupted and connot be copied, which ends the process altogether. Is it possible to recover my seemingly lost data?

Hello and thank you all for all these portable apps.

Thunderbird Portable 2.0 Beta 2 works almost perfectly. The only problem is that it creates a folder named "Thunderbird" in C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Thunderbird. I also connected my USB stick to other computers and the same thing, that folder is automatically created.

i have Memorex 2 Gb U3 USB drive. it has Thunderbird installed and working. I just purchased a SanDisk 4gb U3 USB drive and need to move the thunderbird settings/emails over tothe new drive. i have tried copying the profile folder over and it did not work.

Hi, need some help! I've been using Thunderbird for a week now and everything has been great until this morning! All my other email addresses (gmail, hotmail) are fine except for Yahoo. It started downloading again all the emails that I already have. How do I stop it? It's already downloaded about 100+ emails. I had to close thunderbird to stop it from downloading all my emails again.

Also, is there any way to delete all the duplicate messages? I found the add-on Remove Duplicate Messages but it's only for Thunderbird 1.5

Hi,
I'm having serious problems in sending email with TB portable.
I've been using it since January but in the last month I got the evidence that some mails I sent never reached destination.
I contacted my smtp provider (i rely on it independently of the network I'm connected to) who replied me saying that such emails never traveled on the smtp server, however TB placed those emails in the "sent" folder without giving me any kind of error message.
