Thunderbird Portable

Hello all
I have been using Portable apps (and thunderbird apps) for a while now. No problem so far. but today, major issue :
I unplugged my USB key safely, then plugged it again and launched Thunderbird. At first it was ok but all my mails folder had dissapeared. So I close/open again only to get this error message :
"Mozilla Thunderbird appears to be running from a location that is read only" and so on. So I can't access Thunderbird anymore and I don't have my mails, adress book and Agenda.

hello,

what is the best way to update my portable thudnerbird 3 to the latest version ?

auto update function ?

or

download the latest .zip file and extract it to my local tb portable folder ?

thanks

Just a heads-up. I've successfully upgraded my PortableApps version using Help -> Check for Updates.

Regards

Nick

I changed from TB 2 to TB 3.

i used different ways. copy the profiles or install TB 3 in TB 2. Both its the same result. please help

We currently use Portable Apps Thunderbird on the Sandisk U3 Cruzer. As Sandisk Cruzer (U3) no longer downloads Skype, and as we now have Mobile broadband USB modems with additional Micro SD storage, we NEED to transfer the U3 Thunderbird email content to the standard USB drive that also uses Portable Apps Thunderbird. HOW IS THIS DONE? Please advise directly to john.farrell@can.nfib.com.au so that we can advise our small business members.
Thank you

I am using zh-tw.xpi language pack with Locale switcher in TB3 Portable. Right now everything OK, but the quick search of address book.

Filled the search blanket and no result in Chinese, but work well after changed back to English (orgrinal from protable version) I found that there is some quick search setting in about:config. But I don't know how to do.

Please anyone kindly help, thanks.

I have used Thunderbird for a long time, but I now need to send encrypted messages, and I am completely unaware of how to do so. I looked for a tutorial on Google, but everything seemed to require add-ons to Thunderbird. could someone tell me how to encrypt messages?

I read on Make Use Of that the latest Lightning works in TB3. It installs without complaint but when it starts up I get an error dialog box and

PortableApps - TB 3.0 - MozillaMailnews

Looks like TB 3.0 creates a folder (MozillaMailnews) in the TMP folder of the local machine. This is not due to a plug in. What else can I give you to help?

It appears that after restarting TB due to an extension change or whatnot, the launcher thinks TB is done and closes. While I haven't lost any data due to this (thankfully), seeing as the launcher usually doesn't clean up until Thunderbird closes, I doubt very much that this (launcher closing on restart) is the desired behavior.

Note that Notepad++ also has this issue (where it does cause issues), and I'm guessing FF does as well.
