Thunderbird Portable

I tried to open TB portable, but instead of the familiar prompt to ask me to enter my master password, it asks me to create either an email or newsgroup account.

I checked the data path and all my local mail folders are there, but it seems that the account profiles are corrupted or messed up.

I wonder if this is a known issue? Any way to get out of it to recover my account settings?

My TB portable is version 2.0.0.14 (20080421).

Thanks.

Hallo,
I installed the programme for the first time, but I can't start it. "AbiWord" comes immediately on the screen, "Firefox" takes longer, but Thunderbird doesn't want.
Thank you! uwe schmiedecke

I cant activate IMAP in thunderbird.

Is IMAP better Than POP3 or is it not so good in this portable version.

I was told that IMAP does not save the mail into thunderbird(TP). so with TP you cant take unread mail with you and you cant read it offline. i need to do this. I am Using Dial-up.

So is it POP3 or IMAP???

Let me know any thoughts you have.

I have my Portable Apps package inside a TrueCrypt container on my USB drive.
I have a truecrypt container as a volume for documents, pictures, temp, history, internet cache, etc.
I didn't mount the local TC volume and tried to send an email and noticed it wouldn't let me because my temp folder was full or unavailable.

Is there anyway to point thunderbird to wrote temp files to the USB drive and not Windows' default?

I have been using Thunderbird for U3 on my flash drive for some time and I love it. Suddenly it won't start. I get the message "Runs Thunderbird from a U3 device has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are very sorry for the inconvenience." I have uninstalled and re-installed and I get the same thing. Any suggestions??

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I am using PTB on a usb flash drive. When I compose mails and hit the send button, it sends the email but the compose window stays open. The mail appears in the Send folder, but the compose window icon keeps showing in the task bar. When you click on the Compose window icon in the task bar the compose window don't pop up, but if you open up the "Task manager" it says that the compose window is still running as well as Thunderbird. So if I select the "TB compose" window process it just closes TB all together.
Any idea why this happens.

in some emails i get no picks. just the blank box with square in the corner. can anyone help me out. onluy for some ocasionally.
i never had this prob with the full version that i used to use before i changed to portable.

I recently added another account to my Thunderbird portable email. I then decided that I didn't really need the other email account, so I deleted it. Now, all of my email that I had stored on there is gone. Folders and all. When I go into my flash drive, I can still see the folders listed in there, but then don't show in Thunderbird. It seems to have created a new email folder. It now has a -1 at the end. How do I get all of my email back to the way it was?

Hi!

I'm curious about opening links, and can someone tell me if ThunderBrowse launch in external browser works with relative paths (incase the drive letter changes?)

If it does, does BrowsrBounce (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/6356) do too?

How do you use bcc in Thunderbird. I've searched the support page and the forum but have not found any information.
Thanks,
Larry
