Thunderbird Portable

I've read that if you create a file named ThunderbirdPortable.ini containing "AdditionalParameters=-safe-mode" and place it in the folder containing ThunderbirdPortable.exe, that Thunderbird will launch in safe mode.

How can I confirm that it is actually running in safe mode? I thought that in safe mode the add-ins would be disabled but it seems like at least one of my add-ins, Virtual Identity, is fully functional. Thanks

I've had problems with the Enigmail extension. It says it can not find the gpg executable. I've just updated to TBP 2.0.017 so I go check for the executable and find nothing in the App\gpg directory so reinstalled the gpg for TBP and it solved the problem so I assume that the update has wiped the entire App directory before installing the new one. Is it the right behaivour or is it a bug?

The problem described in this thread was solved on 2008/11/22 with the release of ThunderbirdPortable 2.0.0.18 Revision 2

Thanks to John!

Hi there!
Today I wanted to update my ThunderbirdPortable 2.0.0.16 (german) to the new 2.0.0.17 (german) release.

First, I have no local Thunderbird installation. Second, after using Thunderbird Portable the empty folder $APPDATA\Thunderbird\Profiles\ is left behind.
The code is at the moment:

TheRealEnd:
		${registry::Unload}
		newadvsplash::stop /WAIT
		RMDir "$APPDATA\Mozilla\" ;=== Will only delete if empty (no /r switch)
		RMDir "$APPDATA\Thunderbird\" ;=== Will only delete if empty (no /r switch)

The Folder $APPDATA\Thunderbird\ will never be empty, so the last line is useless.
A solution could be:

TheRealEnd:
		${registry::Unload}

I just set up my usb with Thunderbird Mail and am trying to run two seperate email accounts on the one application. I have the first one set up and it runs perfectly. When I have the second one set up I get two messages...
first....Sending of username did not succeed when I click ok it goes away then I get Sending of password did not succeed and asks to retype my password. Back into the loop I go. I know it works and double and triple checked everything. When set up in Outlook express and did a test no problems.

i've been using TB portable off my flashdrive for almost a year, and i love it. all the sudden, now when i try to run it on any computer, it encounters a problem and needs to close.
i have various add-ons and themes like bloodthunder, reminderfox, and thunderbrowse. my internet is being to slow to do a thorough search before posting, i swear. i also realize that i posted a very similar topic 9 months ago, but this is new. i'm not sure what update i'm running... and i'm having trouble downlowading the latest one from here.
thanx for any imput...

i thought that by default, if the button to keep mail on the server was not checked, then mail would be deleted off the server as it's downloaded into TP. guess not - but now, the mail on the server is taking up too much room and i need TP to download and delete. does anyone have a solution or know the setting i need to have to do this? thanks.

i just updated to portable tbird 2.0.0.17 by using the portable apps launcher, but the program hangs and i have to use windows task manager to stop the program.

on the windows task manager 'processes' tab, there is a 'thunderbird.exe' running using 90+ CPU and anywhere from 60,000 - 300,000K for Mem Usage. at the same time there is also a thunderbirdportable.exe running under 10 CPU and under 10,000K Mem Usage.

i deleted the portable tbird folder and reinstalled--same thing...

i did not have this issue with the 2.0.0.16 portable tbird...

Hi.
I'm just fiddling about with my ThunderbirdPortable and I looked into the files in my "Data\profile\Mail\Local Folders". There are the small .msf files and bigger files wwith the same name. I already learned that the .msf files contain TB's information about the mails in the bigger files. In some of the bigger files I can read old emails I already deleted and I'd like to delete them completely because they need pretty much storage space.

Hello:

Can anyone tell me when one can expect Portable updates?

Thank you in advance,

Alan
