unable to download mail from gmail

Submitted by d_byrnes on August 6, 2010 - 5:57pm

Today, before downloading my mail, I upgraded to TB 3.1.2. I'm using the PA Apps Platform 2.0 Beta, so I used the Update function. After updating, I cannot access my Gmail account. Now, I'm not sure if it's a TB issue, a Gmail issue. or what. As soon as TB loaded, a window at the bottom of the screen came up saying "Failed to connect to server pop.googlemail.com". I ping the server and get no response, though googlemail.com DOES respond. This is the same configuration I've used for over a year. I checked Gmail's settings page, where it indicates the correct server is pop.gmail.com.

TB 3.1.1 "What's New" Tab

Submitted by bouw2558 on August 2, 2010 - 11:29pm

Hi
Have just updated to 3.1.1.
This maybe a silly question, but how do I stop the "What's New" tab from opening every time I start it.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Thanks in advance

Just Updated to 3.1.2 same thing happening. If I don't shut the tab, the next time I open it 2 tabs open, and so on.
Will probably go back to 3.0.6 if no one has an answer.

Thanks

Thunderbird Downloading entire Yahoo Inbox

Submitted by KiwiKay on August 2, 2010 - 6:09pm

Something's happened, and I don't know whether to problem lies with Thunderbird or Yahoo, but I've been using this app for a long time (now have v. 3.1.1) and when I go to download my current mail, it starts to download all of it (over 20,000 msgs). I kept restarting app and computer, etc, and emailed Yahoo for support (no reply after a week). Finally I just let it download since I couldn't get to my recent mail before the oldest was downloaded). I can't simply access yahoo online because I need use of my templates, etc that I've setup in Thunderbird.

Import gives multiple copies of inbox

Submitted by SteveSimmons on July 30, 2010 - 8:52am

I've just started out with PortableApps (great idea and great software btw) but I've hit a problem with Thunderbird. I have a substantial Profile folder (lots of mails) from my 'full-fat' thunderbird installation and wanted to import that into Thunderbird Portable. I seem to have imported it OK in so far as the mails are in place and the accounts seem to have come across OK but I am seeing multiple (eight) 'Inbox' folders. If I click on any of them, I see the same content (i.e. my received mails!).

Two Thunderbird windows appears after launch

Submitted by Just Me Ger on July 22, 2010 - 3:06pm

Hi!

I have a strange issue since I updated my Thunderbird to 3.1.1. When I start Thunderbird it is launched two times means two Thunderbird windows appear.
I have no clue how I can solve the problem. I've tried to downgrade to 3.1 but the problem is still there. Seems my profile folder is messed up. If I copy the profile folder to a "new" Thunderbird portable I get the same problem.
Any ideas?

Thank!

TBP3.1: Poor design of inbox/draft/sent folders.

Submitted by Dr.Mu on July 21, 2010 - 5:14am

After opening an email file, it's not obvious and easy to get back to other folders. Saving the label of the opened file is not a good idea either. I have to keep pressing for a long time to get back to the left-most folder label before clicking on it to get back to access other folder labels such as inbox/draft/sent/trash. You should display those labels distinctly somewhere in the window.
