Thunderbird Portable

Passwords and file sizees

Submitted by Frank1 on November 11, 2008 - 1:56am

Hello
This is my first post here.
I installed Thunderbird Portable without any trouble.
When I setup the accounts I noticed that there was no field for the account pasword like in Outlook Express.
When I tried to check for emails, of course there was a popup requesting the password. This popup ocurs every time Thunderbird is launched. I noticed that there is a check box for using a 'Password controler' (or something similar in name). Once I checked this box my password is now remebered.

My question is, where is this password controlling application?

Lost email folders and email in Portable Thunderbird

Submitted by cacofonix on November 10, 2008 - 1:31pm

Hello to the forum,
I have Mozilla Thunderbird for Portable Apps. A couple of days ago, I removed my USB stick without save & remove process. As a result, my sub-folders renamed, and I lost every email in these folders.

What process should I use to recover my email and folders?
All folders that were renamed were in Greek language.

Do Extensions, Plugins need to be installed for TBP AND...Firefox ?

Submitted by DADSGETNDOWN on November 9, 2008 - 3:56pm

I see the EXACT same plugin or Extension,
Available for firefox AND Thunderbird.

Do we need to install a second copy if things like Adblock
in Thunderbird ?
Even though I have it in firefox, but it's not usually running.
And Thunderbird is a seperate App.
So you end up with an extension or pluging,
Installed in Firefox AND another one in Thunderbird.

When you read the description, if you are at firefox addons
it says for firefox.

download and remove your mail from the server

Submitted by DADSGETNDOWN on November 9, 2008 - 1:54am

Hello boys and girls. I am using "version 2.0.0.17 (20080914)"
In the section,
Using Thunderbird with Webmail (Hotmail, Yahoo, etc)
it says,
"Thunderbird is configured to download and remove your mail from the server by default. If you don't want that to happen, update your account settings after setting up your account" (and before checking your email).

The question is,
Exactly where AND what setting or SETTINGS do I
need to set or unset to make SURE, ALL my emails remain
on hotmail ?
I do not see a definitive area, sorry.

TB Portable adds some new emails at the bottom of old emails

Submitted by mlun on November 5, 2008 - 3:37am

This may sound weird, and I simply do not understand how/why it happens. But for some reason TB occasionally presents new incoming emails at the bottom of an old email. To give an example I received yesterday an email seemingly a copy of an email I previously received 16th April 2008, but with the new email added at the bottom. The new email displays the old emails date, but of course gets a new "Order Received" number.
