IMAP mails disapear while offline

Submitted by hbhardwaj on June 17, 2010 - 12:19am

Hello Everyone, I am using Portable Thunderbird 3.0 with IMAP setting for Gmail. In my Sync and storage option "store mails on this computer" option is checked. While i am online Thuderbird downloads all the emails and everything works fine, but as soon as i go offline, all the downloaded emails as well as gmail folders disappear and there is not even 1 message left in inbox. However thats not the case with my another POP3 account with Hotmail and i can read my emails offline for POP3.

Please Advise what seems to be wrong.

Thanks

Hitesh

When I enter in TB2 I obtain this error message, but I can continue with additional problems.

How can I take off this error message ?

Other subsequent errors are concerning :

inbox.msf
the mails enter to wrong folders. Filter seems not apply.
TypeError: str has no properties.

Best Regards

Thunderbird resets to previous date (and vers)

Hi,
once in a while Thunderbird portable starts downloading POP3 massages that should be already on disk.
If this happens all sent email prior to the date of the first "new" inbox is lost.

Since I am lazy with backups this is kind of annoying.

And I have to sort lots of email if it happens (the junk ones are back too).
I got allot of filters running but not for everything.

It happened when I had Portapps on a Flash drive, it happens now on my external 1.8'' drive.

But the most annoying thing is that Thunderbird is now back to ver 2 while it should be ver 3.

Bug report, problem sending with newly set up account

Submitted by Tony_B on June 10, 2010 - 8:46am

Hi,
With Thunderbird 3.0.4:
I've just added an extra email account for one of my add on domains, with a bit of trial and error to get details correct. It's an IMAP account.
Received a test email to it OK. Tried to reply to that and got an error. I can't recreate this so unfort. can't give you the exact message, but it was words to the effect of "Sending message failed."
Closed and re-opened Thunderbird. Without changing the server settings, sending seems to be working now. However, in the left hand panel, under Inbox, I had these subfolders:

Sent
Trash
INBOX^^Sent-1

Calendar Options?

I'm moving from Outlook to portable open source software for my organizational needs. I've gotten Thunderbird up and running with GnuPG support. I've cleaned up my address book, after importing it from an Outlook pst file. (I'll be adding head shots this week, copying them from my work computer.) My email provider is gmail.

Connecting to servers unnecessarily

Submitted by Tony_B on May 30, 2010 - 1:31pm

Hi,

When I click on different folders in the space of a few seconds I get this message...

"Unable to connect to your IMAP server. You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server. If so, use the Advanced IMAP Server Settings dialog to reduce the number of cached connections."

I'm not trying to connect with the server - just seeing what's in different folders. It seems to be connecting unnecessarily?

I've changed the number referred in the message box to one for each account. I don't get why clicking to different folders makes the connection anyway?

Info Request - Data File Locations

Submitted by fcoulter on May 29, 2010 - 5:21pm

Where does Portable Thunderbird save its email files when they get downloaded from gmail? And how can those locations be changed?

I was hoping that it would save the emails to the usb drive (or wherever the program is installed) but it doesn't appear to work that way. When I moved my thumb drive from one computer to another, I downloaded all the emails that are on the server again.

My major fear is that if I use Portable Thunderbird on a public computer, I'll be leaving behind a large quantity of email messages that really should not be left behind.

TB 3.0.4 Portable and Mailtweak Option Defer bug

Submitted by Stefan Schmidt on May 29, 2010 - 3:11pm

Yesterday I installed Mailtweak http://mailtweak.mozdev.org/index.html on my portable Thunderbird 3.0.4.
I need to use the Defer ( http://mailtweak.mozdev.org/mailtweak-defer.html ) option of this Addon, since sl8tr and other Addons don't work for TB3.

Everything works fine, except for this function. It saves the timed messages in a folder "Deferred" in the outbox, but they never send.
This might be a problem only with the portable version, because I have no problems with the local version on my other pc.
