Thunderbird Portable

Lightning makes trouble when used with Dropbox.

I have installed Lightning in the Portable Thunderbird. That worked!

But I wanted to share my calendar with someone so I put in on my dropbox and shared it with that person. That was leading to conflicts... damn

Now I tried another way. I copied the whole folder. Everyone was now using his own files. But here we also getting conflicts...

This morning, when I opened Thunderbird portable, I got a pop-up window asking if I would like a new e-mail address. The pop-up had a pre-selected (checked box) for something called gandi.net. I selected the button labeled "Skip this and use my existing email". I then got an e-mail account set-up pop-up, on which I clicked the "Cancel" button. I was then in Thunderbird with none of my previous e-mails present, and no account information. Yesterday, Thunderbird was just fine. How do I get my e-mails back? I have hundreds of them.

I'm currently running version 24.4.0. I currently have the message pane showing and my Thunderbird settings such that a new message is marked read as soon as I select it. One thing I've noticed since this latest update is that sometimes when I select an unread message, its state gets changed to read and then reverts to unread.

I definitely didn't have this problem with previous versions of Thunderbird Portable.

As a part of the new security features of OSX Mavericks, it seems to run a "one time" check when you install new apps for things you want the app to access. In this case, it runs the check for portable thunderbird to access contacts and it asks me if I want to grant the application permission to access contacts. Normally, this is a one-time thing, but because portable thunderbird is "new" every time it is mounted on the drive, it runs this check every time.

I have run Thunderbird portable for some years now without issue. I have about 20 email addresses and 3 years worth of emails. It lives on an external drive.
Recently my laptop died and I luckily had not long backed up to the external drive.
I've got my new laptop now however when I click to start Thunderbird it acts as if it is a new program, with no record of my emails, my accounts or anything. What am I doing wrong?

I routinely use two SMTP servers with authentication. Passwords are stored in TB so I'm not prompted for them when sending.

Recently, on a few occasions, a box has popped up telling me that sending has failed and inviting me to retry or enter the password. Knowing that the password is correct, I've generally selected retry - which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't (if it doesn't I usually abandon the attempt for a while).

I wonder if anyone else has experienced this:

I have all of my identities within TB configured to place a copy of sent emails in the "Sent" folder and also to BCC the sender email address. This has been the case for literally years. I've made no configuration changes at all for a year or more.

Recently I've noticed that some sent emails are not BCCd back to me. If I look at copies in the "Sent" folder, they normally show that the email has been BCCd back to me but in these odd cases there is no BCC line (unless I have explicitly BCCd the email to any other address).

hey guys,
i have a problem:
if i start thunderbird, i must config my account:
my username, my e-mail adress and my password
now my problem:
if i start thunderbird again, my settings are away!
at my normal computer, he just ask me for my password, but i must not enter my e-mail adress again.

i hope you understand my problem and can help me
(sorry for my english)

How can I use Thunderbird portable 24.2.0 from multiple user accounts?
Let’s use the user profiles Tim and Tom as examples.

I have Thunderbird Portable on a thumb drive and have it the way i want it. I am wanting to move it from just an executable into the portable apps launcher on another usb drive and keep all the same settings, folders, etc. is there a way to export those from one portable tbird to the other?
