Thunderbird Portable

I installed TB and created an IAMP account in TB yesterday.
I noticed that there are multi-folders in the directory:
E:\...\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\ImapMail\
Here is the folder names:
imap.mail.yahoo.com
imap.mail.yahoo-1.com
imap.mail.yahoo-2.com
imap.mail.yahoo-3.com
imap.mail.yahoo-4.com
imap.mail.yahoo-5.com
imap.mail.yahoo-6.com
imap.mail.yahoo-6.com.sbd

Do I have to keep all these folders?

I also noticed that every time I turn on TB, TB creates a new "INBOX-X.msf" file (where "-X" is a number) in the "imap.mail.yahoo-6.com" folder.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the total deletion of their Thunderbird directory. This is the second time in the past month. Fortunately, I do a weekly backup and just copy the directory back over to my USB drive. I have everything running off my USB drive (carry between two systems) and the only problem I have is with Thunderbird Portable. Any suggestions?

* 24.2.0 - however, the problem happened with the prior version. Everyday I use Thunderbird - I always check for updates.

* Mail Account: POP

* AntiVirus/FireWall: Bitdefender Total Security

Have to leave for work trip, but now my TB on the stick stopped work.
When I try to open, it says it is already running....

I reinstalled, copied back profile from abt 1 week ago, rebooted computer, tried all obvious, but nothing.

I have to leave in abt 3hrs, pls any help?

Hi,

I've updated to 24.1.1 on Windows 7 and now when i start Tbird everything has gone. It's as if Thunderbird doesn't know where to look for the account info and folders..etc.

This may well be the case, but i don't know how to tell it where to look, as there are loads of folders in the profile directory and i have no idea which are which or how to find my email accounts info.

I have multiple accounts i need to access daily, so I am in the hands of you guys as I am right in the poo now!

Hi guys,

I've managed to set up my PortableThunderbird(24.1.0)+Enigmail(newest)+TorBirdy(newest) on two computers now, which required some troubleshooting, despite the fact that the program itself is on a portable HDD. I have a few questions:

1) The keyring is apparently not saved on the portable device, but somewhere on the machine they were created on. Can I make Thunderbird store the keyring and use it on the portable device?

I'm getting this error under Windows 7 Pro 64 bit using v24.1.0 ......

"The messages could not be filtered to folder 'Southwark_freecycle.org' because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again."

I've checked the properties and it was set to "read only" so changed that and its changed back - is this a new Windoze "feature"?

[v24.1.0] I am unable to make any changes to any account's server settings, because when I try to OK them, I get a message similar to the following:

The Local Directory path "N:\apps\7.Admin\Thunderbird\Data\profile\accounts\{account}" is not suitable for message storage. Please choose another directory.

I don't know when this issue started, since I haven't tried to make changes for months. Needless to say, all the accounts whose messages are stored in their 'not suitable' {account} folder work perfectly.

What is wrong with the path (now)? Why has in become 'not suitable'?

I'm using the full version of Thunderbird (v.24.1) on my computer, and the portable version on my USB drive. I'm using Win7 64 bit on my computer.

I've spent a day trying to copy my six email accounts, along with my contacts, current email and their folders, personal settings, and pluggins from my computer and into my portable version. I saw further down under the download link some brief instructions on how to do this within the FAQ area, but either I'm doing it incorrectly, the instructions are old, or the portable version doesn't have a way to utilize all of my transferred items.

On the current Thunderbird the lightning seems to get updated and since then it doe not work.
In the list with the extensions, the Lightning is included, but the icon is missing.
No signs of any lightning otherwise.
This was the lightning 2.6.1

I tried then to install the previous version 2.6, but also this one does not seem to work, the calendar tab is empty, it seems not to be able to read the calendar file properly.

Anybody with some experience on this?

The early bird catches the worm? Not this time: I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X Mavericks just when it was released last night and since then Portable Thunderbird stopped working. It just hangs after being launched. Any other users affected by that? And more importantly: any idea how to solve the problem?
