Thunderbird Portable

After upgrading to TBP 5, I can no longer access my existing profile. I've checked prefs.js and it seems just like it was before, with all my mail account and newsgroup information. Just in case, I copied over a backup of prefs.js and it made no difference whatsoever. I also restored from a backup I'd taken with MozBackup, again no change. I've also done a complete disk check and it has shown no problems.

After upgrading to TB portable 5, none of my profile info is available. It is treating me as a new user altogether...

Does keeping pen drive in Computer 24/7 cause problems. have lost 2 recently one had thunderbird portable on it. Have got all details back on new pen drive. But my question is should I safely remove every evening and reinsert pen drive at start of new day?
Computer is Acer aspire 5742Z running win 7.
Thanks

My flash drive got corrupted and I had the files recovered by a company that specializes in that. The recovered files are all mixed due to indexing problems I guess. What folders and files do I bring over in to a fresh copy of Thunderbird Port? I need everything. Can someone give me a step by step?

I was recently invited by Thunderbird to upgrade to v5.0 (from within the app). I selected this option, believing that with portable apps this is generally okay, i.e. it will not mess up the portable nature of the app.

I am now not able to access the mailboxes on certain servers (GoDaddy Europe). It asks for the password and seems to accept it, but no emails are downloaded. This is using an IMAP server and none of the settings seems to have changed when upgrading to v5.0

I still have access to a mailbox on another server and that is working fine.

hey

we are looking for an option to switch between diferent languages, like in the new version from skype?

if it´s possible to do someting like that?

How do you get the lightning in TB5 work?

After update to TB5, the extensions try update, but on lightning all seems to chrash.

Attempts to somehow stop this forever going update and installing the right version manually failed too.

Yesterday I upgraded my portable Thunderbird to 5.0. Actually, after issues with the Lightning Addon I choose to reinstall it completely.
I use TB with GPG Portable for TB (1.4.11) and Enigmail 1.2. After setting everything up I wanted to change the key trust of one of the public keys. When choosing "Set Owner Trust" and changing and clicking okay TB freezes and does not recover. Only help is to kill it in the Taskmanger and restart.

I upgraded to TB5 two days ago. I use it on two machines - one running Windows XP and one running Windows 7 (64-bit). I collect mail from a number of accounts which all go to the global Inbox on Local Folders. Generally speaking that Inbox folder remains empty because filters move incoming messages to other folders (which also exist within Local Folders). This arrangement worked without issue on the previous version of TB.
