Thunderbird Portable

Adding bcc: to the left-hand address list

Submitted by JeffNeedle on June 21, 2008 - 2:13pm

I need to add bcc: to the "Add to To" and "Add to CC" choices to Tbird Portable. I had an extension to do this for Seamonkey and it worked fine. I'm looking for an extension for Tbird Portable. Anyone have it who can e-mail it to me? It would be so appreciated!

Thanks.

TBP Lightning Question

Submitted by ggrosser on June 20, 2008 - 8:54am

I am wondering if anyone has had experience with the Lightning extension for TBP.

I know that you can publish your calendar, but I am not sure what I need or even how to do this. I would like to make it where my co-workers can view my calendar so that they can see what I am doing so that they don't have to constantly call me and ask what I have planned.

If this post doesn't go here, sorry and please advise me where I should post it. I couldn't find a Lightning forum.

Thanks.

Email can't copying in sent folder

Submitted by Porti on June 18, 2008 - 4:02pm

Hi,

I've got a problem, that TB can't moved the email to the folder sent.
The file "virtualfolder.dat" is fault.
Must I re-install TB or can I repair this file.

Here is the error report after sending:

The messages could not be moved or copied to folder 'Sent' because writing to folder failed.
To gain disk space, from the File menu, first choose Empty Trash, and then choose Compact Folders,
and then try again.

After confirming a new message appears:

There was an error copying the message to the Sent folder. Retry?

Calendar File From Web Location?

Submitted by arizona480 on June 18, 2008 - 3:19am

Is it possible to tell TBP to snatch the storage.sdb file stored on a web location (and write to it as well)? Every time I update my calendar, I have to send the file to myself so I can update my other TBP's. It would be nice if all of them could just share the storage.sdb file from the net (not all at the same time) so my current calendar is always available. I know that there is a way to create a network calendar, but if you already have your calendar with many events in place, that seems like it would be a lot of work.

Importing Outlook Folder

Submitted by ggrosser on June 17, 2008 - 7:55am

When I initially installed portableapps on my thumb drive I was able to import all of my info from my outlook express program. When I upgraded to the new version of TBP there were some issues that came about. Now, long story short, I still have the folder with my saved outlook express mail, but I can't get TBP to show the folder so I can access the messages. Would anyone have any suggestions how I can go about getting TBP to show the folder.

Thanks!

tb takes more and more space on my usb stick - deleting e-mails without effect

Submitted by willisuper on June 16, 2008 - 3:18pm

I use tb 2.0.0.14 on a 2 GB USB Stick with Windows XP and Windows Vista.
In only some weeks the datas of tb got so much, that I had to delete some other folders on the stick. But now, again after only some weeks, there are only left about 45 MB space on the stick. I deleted many E-Mails, some with big attachments - but it didn't have any effect. I have the impression, that in about two weeks the stick is again totally full. What can I do?

Status Bar Stats: Show Message Character Length - Exists?

Submitted by sugardaddy on June 10, 2008 - 3:06pm

Is there a plug-in or feature in existence where I can see how many characters are in the message I'm composing?

They could go so far as to show total chars, and just the chars on the current line (with position) as well. But that may be wishful thinking.

The reason I'm wanting this is that I often use Tbird to send text messages to cell phones. I want to keep under the character limit.
