Thunderbird Portable

Broken after updating to Thunderbird 5

Submitted by nastypc on June 29, 2011 - 3:11pm

After upgrading to version 5 it no longer works. I Cannot get mail! All accounts have been deleted. I Cannot add them in again. Under account settings (all blank)! Clicked on account actions, add mail account, nothing! History, during installation all .dll files would not install. I clicked ignore on all of them. I have re-installed the software again still the same issue all .dll files would not install! This time I manually renamed the files that it wanted to install. Same issue program is dead?

Any help would be great! Thank you in advance!

[Fixed] Thunderbird 5 not remembering compatable add-ons.

I upgraded from Thunderbird 3 to 5 via the PortableApps Updater. After updating Thunderbird told me (unexpectedly) that some of my plugins weren't compatible. I performed a check for extension updates, applied the updates, restarted Thunderbird and all was well.

The next day I attached my drive to a different computer and Thunderbird was telling me again that the extensions weren't compatible. I followed the same procedure of updating and everything was fine and posted the issue on the release announcement page.

Filters don't obey

Filters don't obey

Some emails goes to a folder with star and purple color tag.
I have tried to filter to another folder but don't obey me.

I observed when I create the filter from the message in the message filter window that a number appear in the name : 4,5,6......,11, etc.
Then I observed that the same filter is operated one and one more with no result because I continue receiving these emails in the same folder.

No change.

What can I do ?

I have tried to compact and repair folders with not succeed.

Best Regards
