Thunderbird Portable

The PC version of thunderbird does not time out while retrieving email, but the portable version does.

Another user had reported the same problem.
(https://portableapps.com/node/14008)

This problem occurs not just on my machine or my network but for several of my friends and other networks. So it has to do with thunderbird portable.

I did some search and found that there is a way to increase connection time out time, but this is not available in the portable version.

When I run PortableThunderbird , does it write any emails, passwords, contacts etc. anywhere on C: , e.g. users/Appdata folder?

Or is all activity within PortableThunderbird stored inside its own folder?

Thank you

Usually, people only post when they have a problem. This time I just wanted to say that Thunderbird Portable is awesome! So far I have not had any problems with it after installing it three weeks ago. Keep up the good work! It is the perfect solution for people on the go. Now they just need to make a Thunderbird Webmail version! haha

Thanks,

Hello,

I already changed the standard email Client to Thunderbird portable in the registry for links already, but I want to have Thunderbird under E-Mail in the Vista startmenu. How do I do that?
THX for your help.

Just saw this http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-trunk/

Any possibility of getting a Thunderbird Portable 3 PreRelease?

Current is 2.0.0.14, and I'm getting nag messages to update. Do I let it proceed?

Thank you.

Can anyone help me?

I'm not a PC professional so I would be grateful for any easy step-by-step advise.

I finally found the folder manager on the EeePC - is it possible that it doesn't work because e.g. the thunderbird address book on the PC has the ending ".xpt" and the TB portable on my USB stick ".mab"

I really appreciate any advise!

When I try to send a reply message while using thunderbird in portable apps, it comes up with error and no can do message?? Any ideas??

I'm using Thunderbird Portable while my main computer is being fixed. It's worked fine for weeks now -- both on XP and Vista. I'm currently running on a machine with XP Pro.

Today, I opened up the application, and my profile was GONE. The app wanted me to create a new email account. I have the profile folder and all seems fine, but it's just not reading it.

What can I do to fix this?

I use TB on desktop + laptop, and installed it on a USB-stick that came with the U3 system for portable applications.
I liked that, but decided tu use the more open system "Portable Apllications".
Firefox worked immediately. Thunderbird can be started, but on creating the accounts nothing is saved, the row of mail accounts stays completely empty...
What now?
