I cannot delete message received on my U3 Key

Submitted by Jochris on December 25, 2007 - 12:55pm

I cannot delete message received with Thunderbird installed on my 4GB Cruzer U3 USB Key. When I try to delete a message I receive the following Alert:

The messages could not be moved or copied to folder ‘Trash’ because writing to folder failed. To gain disk space, from the File menu, first choose Empty Trah, and then choose Compact Folders, and then try again.

I have a lot of space on disk and an Empty Trash and I compact my folders every day
All Thunderbird’s I use on my PC & NB work fine but not on my U3 Key!
Any idea?

I use gmail accounts via IMAP, but when someone send attachment more that 10 mb, it's auto download when I choose to see message. But it take time.

I use PortableApps mostly at work and am grateful for the convenience of accessing my email through Thunderbird Portable. My one query, and I couldn't get the right answer searching through here, was if it's possible to make URL links within emails open in Firefox Portable instead of my PC's default browser.

Since it is a work PC, the default browser is IE and I can't change that.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and keep up the fantastic work!

New accounts not coming up

Submitted by scotttobin on December 20, 2007 - 1:49pm

i installed TB portable and added my email accounts on my laptop on my new flash drive. I then took my flash drive to my work computer and plugged in. The app comes up but it is asking me to configure email accounts again like they werent done.

I looked at the file folders and see my accounts there but when i launch the app they arent coming up.

Ideas?

Design flaw permits storing of incoming emails in the "sent email" storage bins.

Submitted by Dr.Mu on December 18, 2007 - 11:07am

The Thunderbird, including its Portable version, allows the user to move incoming emails in the bins where emails already sent out are stored, and the other way around. This mixing of the incoming emails with out-went emails is a problem when searching for archived emails later. The design engineer should implement a module to prohibit this kind of operation. In other words, if a user drags an incoming email to the out-went email storage bins, the system should give an error message: "You Cannot store incoming emails in the out-went email bins!"
