Getting back to the inbox

Submitted by clayto on May 19, 2015 - 10:14am

I have asked this question on Mozilla Forum but never got a reply. When I navigate away from the inbox, for example to write an email I often find it difficult to get back to the inbox. Sometimes I have to close Thunderbird down and relaunch to continue work, at other times I just happen to land on a button that takes me back. I suspect this is just a simple thing that I have missed out on somehow. What is the straightforward way to get back to the inbox?

I've noticed that Thunderbird Portable can sometimes leave behind an empty Extensions folder within APPDATA\Mozilla when installing certain extensions and restarting the current release of Thunderbird. This bug is noted and will be addressed in the next release.

Thunderbird Portable vs Firefox Installed vs RAM Disk

Submitted by subdivider on February 2, 2015 - 12:06pm

Hello, since I recently bought SSD, I desided to redirect (mklink command) Firefox folders from %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA% to RAM Disk (ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver).
More specifically I set up persistent RAM Drive R: that is inicialized from *.img file during logon and written to *.img (on hdd) during logoff.

Then I created symbolic links by
mklink /D %APPDATA%\Mozilla R:\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla
mklink /D %LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla R:\AppData\Local\Mozilla

Everything works as expected (preventing writes on SSD)...

Upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and lost all previous email settings

Submitted by DrAJAllen on December 7, 2014 - 9:29pm

I have been using Thunderbird portable for probably close to 10 years now on a portable drive. I was having no problems until the recent upgrade to 31.3.0 when all of a sudden it starts asking me if I want a new email address and all my old email accounts and files have vanished. What is going on?
