Oi pessoal, to aqui tentando ajudar novamente. Instalei o Thunderbird em inglês no meu pen-drive, criei uma nova conta de e-mail, gostei e decidi passar para o português. Não tive vontade de instalar ele no meu pc, então não tinha como copiar todos os arquivos do programa para o pen. Eis a solução que encontrei:

Hi there!

I'm quite new to TB Portable core features, though I've been using it happily for months, launching it from a USB external hard disk.

Today I quitted TB Portable and immediately after I disconnected the USB cable.

Few minutes ago I reconnected the USB external hard disk and started TBP again.

The sad surprise was that TBP asked me to create new accounts (with the new account set up windows) as it forgot everything of the past usage and data.

Hi all, I've been using the potable version of Thunderbird on a flash drive for several months now. This morning when I tried to launch Thunderbird it took nearly a 1/2 hour to open up. Once it opened up I compacted the mailboxes. I also followed the advice of another post and found and deleted the MSF files. Unfortunately, neither fix has cured the problem. It still takes forever to open the program. Task Manager indicates that the program is loading nearly 120,000K of data into memory before the progarm will open. Any suggstions as to what the heck has happened and how to fix it.

Hi everyone!

Executive Summary:
This describes an efficient and effective means of importing contacts from Outlook and other email programs after the initial installation.

Description:
During a first time setup of TB, the auto import feature is quite intuitive. It should allow you to import mail, address book and settings. It may not import all contact data as some programs, such as Outlook, have more than the 35 data fields that TB is limited to.

The challenge becomes to try to import data after the first time setup. An effective solution is Plaxo - www.plaxo.com

Gmail Account in Thunderbird
My gmail account is going bad and I don't know why.

I had well configurated this account, but may be disconfigured by some sort of reason. When I enter comes windows one after another .

I put screenshots .
Thanks
Excuse my language. I'm from Canary Islands

I move around my Thunderbird Portable in a Truecrypt volume which acts as a drive letter. My real problem is that it seems when I move it to a new computer each folder has to take a million years building a summary of the emails present. What's the deal? Is there a fix or can a code monkey look into making this... well portable? I mean I love the product running in a secure volmune and with PGP/SMIME intergration.

I installed Thunderbird portable while plugged into my Vista machine and created 4 IMAP accounts. Everything was working fine.

When I plugged my drive into my XP laptop it still shows account entries for the 4 accounts, but none of the folders, and can't seem to connect to download again. I put it back in the Vista machine and everything works perfectly (it re-learns the folder structure from the accounts and gets new mail).

I have version 2.0.0.19.

I recieve the emails alright but many times it does not bold the folder with new mails in it.

I use alot of filters to sort the emails.

The folder only becomes bold after I have clicked it. It´s almost as thunderbird only then notices that there is new mail in the folder.

I have many folders, so clicking on all of them when checking mail is not really an option.

Any ideas?

I copied all the files and folders under c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\0c9iapp6.PJH\ to the folder k:\ThunderbirdPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\

All of the accounts appear but the subfolders do not.

Also, when I started a download from one account, it went back to Jan 24th.

My filters are not there.

My extensions are not there.

My issue sounds similar to another recent post, with a slight difference.

My whole account disappeared (including email, of course) but my Address Book and Tools - - > Options settings remained as I had set them.

I installed 7-Zip_Portable_4.62.paf.exe as Thunderbird Portable itself recommended, and I was able to extract the msf files. However, when I go to open them, Thunderbird itself opens, but not my files.
