Thunderbird Portable

New at this... How would I go about importing my laptop TB settings onto my thumb drive? I'd like them to work the same, have my address book,etc.

I have been using Portable Thunderbird for almost 2 years and today it simply sottped working.

It doesn´t even start... it gives an error message that I just can´t copy.

After the crash, I copied the whole Thunderbird folder into my Desktop.

I reinstalled the Portable Thunderbird in my pen drive, and it opens ok. But I lost everything (e-mails, configurations, accounts settings,...). What folders or files I should copy back to the Portable Thunderbird folder so I can use the reinstalled program, but also with all my previous data and configuration ?

Thanks,

Here is my setup. I run Thunderbird portable off of a USB harddrive at work that I synch up with my laptop. Every so often, after a synch the prefs.js gets corrupt. I have figured out how to re-find my profile and emails so I dont lose any emails - but I have to completely re-set all of my prefs and accounts which is a HUGE pain.

Is there an easy method to export/import my contactslist in Outlook to the portable Thunderbird application?
(Just PortableApps installed - looks very promising)
Thanks

I really need to get a copy of this particular version. It is needed in a primitive area with limited computing resources. 2.0 won't run, but all 1.5 versions are fine. I understand that 1.5.0.14 was the last in the series.
Did Google, and found lots of places to get the German version... and only the German version. Interesting!!

Before posting, I checked some threads ("Gray bar below status bar") that looked promising, but did not work for me. I do not have the "offline.manifest" file they recommend deleting.

Running Windows XP, Mobile Intel video, just in case. No extensions installed.

I have been able to run TBird portable in that stick. But not recently. I believe the failure comes after updating to 12.

Just upgraded to Portable v2.0.0.12 and have run into some sort of problem. At the bottom of the message pane there is a bar about 1 1/2" wide running horizontally above the task bar which appears to be displaying code such as:

menu id = "offlinemenuitem" insertafter = "trashmenuseparator"

It goes on like this and even after I tried a different skin, it was still there.

Any clues?

I have only recently discovered Thunderbird Portable, and I am truly impressed with it, except for one thing. The one thing, of course, being the subject of this post/topic.

When I attempt to send, it asks for my mail server's password (even when I have previously given it the password, and checked the "Use password manager to remember this password' option), churns for a bit, and then declares that it can't access the server.

I have copied the settings for the server directly from Outlook Express, which has no problem with sending and receiving emails.

Hi,
This latest update got into a loop of failure and the following solved the problem for me:
If the update fails, then go to:
PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\App\thunderbird
rename:
mozMapi32.dll to something like mozMapi32_old.dll
Then click ok in the loop that keeps failing in the update.
This time it will complete but say: "partial update, going to get a complete one" or something similar, then that update will install and run fine.

Hope this helps,

Thunderbird has been working well. The only problem I have is the "go forward one message" and "go back one message" buttons don't work. Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks,
