Thunderbird Portable

Compose mail in second instance of thunderbird

Submitted by togarha on July 17, 2008 - 7:41am

Hi,

I use standard thunderbird for work and thunderbird portable for personal use in the same PC.

When I want to compose a mail with a file, for work I use:
right buttons --> send to --> mail

If I want to make another shortcut for personal mail, how can I make that?

I try to use the command line option to thunderbird portable as that:

\thunderbirdportable\app\thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -compose

but it open a compose mail for work account...

Thanks in advance...

Regards,

Older Versions - we still use 'em!

I notice that you provide a link to 3 older versions of Firefox Portable for use by folks using older equipment, and for diagnostics.
Considering there is a lot of interest in Portable T-bird 1.5.0.14, and almost no place to find it, how about some old version links here?

I love FileHippo's way of posting the very latest, and still making every past version available. PortableApps would get a lot more following if you did the same.

TB portable doesn't work on tablet pc w/ Vista

Hi,
I've been a user of portableapps for about 3 years and never had a problem with any of the software; in fact it's been absolutely lifesaving for me.

What happens is that i was just now trying to get TB portable to work on my new tablet pc and it gives a message like: "couldn't initialize browser's security component. Most likely cause is problems with the files in your browser profile's directory..."

connection timing out

Setting up Thunderbird Portable for the first time, i've got 2 Gmail accounts, i've got them set up as they should be (use standard TB at home) but the connection keeps timing out. never makes it to ask for a password or anything, so i don't know what's wrong...

Moving from THUNDERBIRD standard to PORTABLE

Submitted by heinz57g on July 5, 2008 - 11:00am

having used THUNDERBIRD standard installation for almost two
years now, plenty of emails have accumulated, some folders
were created, and some adjustments were made to make it works
the way i thought it should. a few add-ons were added, too.

and once it did that, to my satisfaction, most things were just
'forgotten' - it worked the way i wanted it, most of the times.

now, for the next year, i will be on extended travel, and in
many places, i might not even have a laptop along.

the idea was to migrate whatever i can to a USB stick. on
