Thunderbird Portable

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?

Hi

i see that the latest portable beta is version 18.

Will you update and publish newest releases ?

Thanks

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!
