Portable edition vs. browsers
molngab - March 23, 2008 - 3:28am
Hello!
My problem: in my browsers (IE, Opera, Firefox) I set up the default POP3 client: The Thunderbird (instead of the default Outlook express).
But, my settings-or the TB doesn't work! If I click on an e-mail address in a web browser, the browser start the default client-the TB-it's ok.
But, the TB don't start so, If I run it manually-the TB load a new, and leer mailbox, and ask me the account information (pop3 server name, login name, password, import of exist mailing list etc.). TB do so as a newly installed program.
How can I set the correct working of TB with web browsers?
I use TB Portable.
Thanks

Never register Thunderbird
Never register Thunderbird Portable as the default client. When thunderbird is launched it does not open the launcher, but thunderbird itself. The launcher tells thunderbird to look for the data in the Data directory. Basically this means that thunderbird will run with no data.

Unless you always plan on keeping Portable Thunderbird open,
then it will give you the "Compose" window off of Portable Thunderbird, I notice this too when I have TB Portable closed; but if my web browser is open, my email client is always going to be open anyway, so it works for me, but you just gotta keep that in mind.
