I have used Thunderbird Portable for few years, on few computers (at home, at work, etc). Now, I have new laptop, with normal Windows 7 64 bit, and unfortunately, my Thuderbird Portable doesn't work correctly. I turn on this software, and programme is trying to connect with servers to ask for passwords, but never connect... I'm waiting and waiting for dialog box of password and nothing. What is wrong ? On another computers programme is till working good ... Only on this one computer is broken.

Is this information solving my problem ? I don't think so ...

Then I suggest you go to portable apps and ask your question. Thunderbird portable is not supported here.

Indeed it wouldn't hurt to ask at portableapps.

That said, (airmail and reporter) this *particular* type of issue is common with updates, and is typically caused by other software.

Start *Windows'* safe mode with networking enabled - win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Still In Windows safe mode, start thunderbird in safe mode - https://support.mozilla.org/kb/safe-mode-thunderbird

Does problem go away?
