Thunderbird Portable

I have upgraded to tbp 3 today (09/12/10) and I've noticed that I am losing emails that I archive. I have emails in the archive from the 8th 12, so I have effectively lost two days of emails.

I tested this by emailing myself and archiving the email. It disappears. It isn't in the archive 'folder' nor can it be found by searching. I can get the test email back by ctrl+z, but that only works for the emails archived in this session.

I've also tested this in RC2 and it has the same problem.

I've set tbp3 to never delete emails.

Hi!
I have 2 partitions in my system, C: which is restored after every reboot (using Deep Freeze) and D: which holds all my portable applications.

I've clean-installed Portable Thunderbird 3.0 in D: and the first time I created an account, a "Add Security Exception" window appeared for IMAP server, so I clicked "Confirm security exception" and ticked "Permanently store this exception".

The thing is that every time I reboot, the first time I launch Thunderbird, this window still appears!

Is this info not stored in the Thunderbird directory?

I am using PA Menu 2 beta 3 and after installing TB 3 there is no entry for it in the PA Menu. How can I get an entry of the app in the menu?
thanks.

Here are some common issues people experience when upgrading to 3.0:

1. Asking For Master Password - This appears to be an issue with manually imported certificates. A possible solution has been posted.
2. Blank or Error-Filled Screen Thunderbird Screen - This can be due to the Kaspersky antispam extension which can be manually removed to fix it.

I'm not sure what is happening here, but when I upgraded from TB2P to TB3P I get a password dialog asking for master password for the Software Security Device. I've never set a master password for TB and I can't close the window now.

Luckily, I was able to revert to TB2 and keep my data. Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to keep the password dialog from coming up when I upgrade to TB3?

Thanks,

Andy

Hello,

any idea to get my tb3 running ?

Hi,

I am using Gmail as my main mail, and was trying out TB Portable some time ago. The standard setting in TB was to NOT leave messages on server. Maybe my fault for not checking, but the result was that my test run of TB cleaned out my Gmail totally which wasn't my intention at all.

My suggestion would be to change the standard configuration in TB Portable to leave messages on server.

Has anyone tried using only the thunderbird portable from a memory stick and not putting it on a HD? I would like to synce my portable (from memory stick) with my thuunderbird on my computer HD at a location where I don't have access to the internet. I haven't found a way to make it work, so am thinking about working only from TBPortable on my memory stick. Is this feasible?

I'm using version 2.0.0.23 on Win XP's HD and like to take it occasionally on a Portable App Thumb. I use it most often off my hard drive (XP)

I also sync my laptop with my desktop. These have the same paths, C:\... and that seems to work fine.

When I install it on WinXP (not as a portable app since there are multiple accounts on the machine) it puts it ..../My Documents/Thunderbird

On my Portable app stick, it is in a different directory.

I have problems syncing, Thunderbird doesn't seem to like using relative paths ONLY. I Get incorrect message counts and who knows what else.

Good day,

I am running Thunderbird 3b1 from a USB stick at work. I can't convince it to connect to the network. I'm guessing I need to set up the proxy settings in the connections menu but I don't know how to either find those settings or set one up. I've been searching for some useful information for days but its all been very sketchy.

I can't just ask my IT dept for the settings.

Thanks,
Levi
