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.

Lightning: Accepting invitations

Submitted by PollieXmas on June 9, 2008 - 7:28am

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure if it is already logged as a bug (with mozilla) but there seems to many posts on different forums about the fact that accepting email invitations in TB does not work when hitting the "accept" button.

What worked for me is to simply drag the .ics attachment onto the calendar pane on the right-hand side. The appointment then pops up and you can then save it. (It does not always seem to work the first time though...)

I use TBP 2.0.0.14 and lightning extension 0.8.

I hope this helps.

Regards
Paul

Start TB with parameters?

Submitted by atreiju on June 8, 2008 - 1:27pm

Hi,

Another question by me:

Can i start Thunderbird Portable with command-line parameters? I want to create a shortcut, which open Thunderbird directly in Calender-View (Lightning extension).
According to the FAQ it should be something like:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -calendar

I tried that with the ThunderbirdPortable.exe, but I didn't succeed.

Any ideas?

Thx, atreiju.

Compatibility with Desktop Search Engine?

Submitted by atreiju on June 7, 2008 - 4:53pm

Hi,

This could be a little bit off topic, but i thought maybe someone here can help me with this:

I'm looking for a Desktop-Search engine, which is compatible with Thunderbird Portable (so it can index emails and adressbook).

I've tried Windows Desktop Search with the old addon from citeknet.com, I've tried Copernic Desktop Search and Google Desktop. But nothing worked.

Does anyone know, how to get this done?

Thanks! atreiju

Local folders and other folders

Submitted by sheila9 on June 5, 2008 - 11:21pm

When in accounting settings, Local Folders-- Local directory is ../Mail/Local Folders, my mail folders under this Local Folders show mail.
When ../Mail is the Local directory instead of Local Folders, the mail folders won't show any mail.

But I've several accounts whose folders are parallel with Local Folders. I can't view them in TBP any more, because Local Folders is the top root folder.

Prior to this, I could view all my accounts' folders parallel to Local Folders.

I wonder if someone knows how to get it to work?

Thanks.

Is a 1.x Version of Thunderbird Portable Still Available?

Submitted by Bulldog on June 5, 2008 - 8:06pm

I'm not looking to make any trouble here. I was using a 1.x version of Thunderbird Portable (1.5 I think) and it worked great. Today I did a clean install of TP 2.0.0.14 (deleted 1.x and installed 2.0.0.14) and it's just not working out.

Can I still get my hands on an installer for 1.x?
