Thunderbird Portable

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?

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.

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!

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?

Well - I heard that there is a Thunderbird 3 beta on the way.

Just wonder if it are on Portable, so I can test it?

Have not tried this beta on the PC (as not portable), so it may be a silly quistion.

Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 is fine

I am just Curious

GPG has updated to version 1.4.9, our portable GPG is 1.4.7

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.

Thunderbird displays the following message at the bottom of the window. How do i stop this from displaying?

menu id="offlineMenuItem" insertafter="trashMenuSeparator" label="&offlineMenu.label;" accesskey="----^

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

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.
