Thunderbird Portable

Hey - new here. I have TB Portable on a flash drive. It works great on my laptop but when I tried to use it on my PC at work it just searches but won't download any mail. Any ideas? TIA - Kari

Hi,

I started TB Portable yesterday and it came up with the question, if I want to create a new email account. All the old ones are not displayed by TB, but are in the right folder and I did not change anything. I tried to reinstall TB Portable, but it did not work. Im lost...

Hello,

I have on my USB pen the backup data of my desktop PC. Among all folders I also have the thunderbird profile one. I'd like to use this for TB portable so I keep it synchronized with the desktop.

The folder's path looks like this:

H:\Documents\Femtotech\Thunderbird

How to configure TB portable to use this folder?

Thanks!

hi,
i have a portable Thunderbird on a USB stick in an encrypted (with TrueCrypt) area.
by removing the stick without demounting it first i damaged my Thunderbird application to the extent that all folders and all mails were gone and i was prompted to set up a new account before being able to use the program.

i wanted to deinstall TB and then reinstall it again. however, by deleting the folders most were gone, except for the Data/Profile/Mail/Local Folders/Inbox and when i try to delete these, i get the error message: Folder can't be deleted because registry is empty.

I have an inbox file that is much larger than it should be. I have tried deleting the .msf file and compacting. Also, all of my folders are stored in the same local folders, so I can't find the one that I've having trouble with in particular. Any suggestions?

Thunderbird works fine for receiving and sending mail on my home computer but I can't get Thunderbird Portable to send mail using the same computer. Both are set up identically.

Any ideas?

Using version 2.00.12

Hello!

I'm currently "tuning" my thunderbird; create a folder-structure, adding add-ons etc.

Hi Guys,

I have recently updated the Thunderbird Portable from 1.5.0.13 to 2.0.0.12. Everything went smooth except the user preferences. So far the following problems were observed.

1) In the old version, it was set to delete mails older than 2 weeks. After the update, the setting has disappeared.

2) Header information switched to "All" instead of "Normal".

Is there a way to preserve custom settings? Can I deactivate "Find Updates" function. Previously I could do it by adding "user_pref("xpinstall.enabled", false); " in prefs.js.

TIA

Hi,
I've just started using portable apps. The problem I'm having is when I try to download my Hotmail email to the Portable Thunderbird client. I'm using the server:
pop3.live.com and am using the SSL connection type. I set it up using the "webmail account" settings in Thunderbird. The specific problem I'm having is that I get this message everytime I try to access my email through Thunderbird:

"Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop3.live.com responded: mailbox for swavcat@hotmail.com is not available."

Hello,

I recently upgraded TB on my USB Flash. I now have repeated crashes, especially when I try to access the Junk folder. I also noticed that it takes more time for TB to "build the summary" for folder I don't use often and try to access.

Has anyone encountered and fixed these bugs?

Thank you
