Thunderbird Portable

Hi,

may be a silly approach. But I've tried to copy a working version of Thunderbird Portable form an USB Stick onto a local folder. Just to use alle my settings (it's only IMAP so I mean using addressboook, signature, Zertificates,...) also on my PC.

After coppiing the files over, I noticed that the German dictinary is considered as incompatibel version. Reinstalling helps, but every resynch (only the changes files and also the complete folder structure) fails with the same messaqe.
So I wounder if:
a) The German Dict. IS not Portable aware

For some strange reason now when I click on a link in an email my browser will not open, nothing happens, but this is only on my home computer. Using my portable Thunderbird here at work it works fine, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

I've just upgraded to ThunderBird Portable 2.0.0.9 on my USB key and there appear to be a few bugs.

One is a space at the bottom of the window with a line of code in the middle

Hi,

I have been using the portable version of Thunderbird on my USB memory stick for over a year now. I typically open my e-mail from one of three computers, all of which have an active virus scan programme. As of a week ago, I cannot open Thunderbird on any computer, and can therefore no longer access my stored e-mails (I can still access my new e-mails directly from my e-mail provider’s website). Do you have any suggestions of things I can do to remedy this problem?

Thank you,
Karen

I lost the contents of my "abook.mab" I still have those in the "abook.mab.bak". Can anyone advise how to regain the lost contents of my "abook.mab"?

I made a copy of "abook.mab.bak" in another folder, change the file name by deleting the “.bak” and put it back in the “:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile” but it did not solve the problem.

Thanks, Ariel.

Fresh install of Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.9
installed enigmail 0.95.6
gpg for thunderbird 1.4.7

works as expected.

I have a copy of my gpg app dir at x:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\gpg\App
and a copy of my gpg data dir at x:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\gpg\Data

I have put thunderbirdsettings.ini into the same dir as the launcher.
I have added the following lines to the ini:
GPGPathDirectory=X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\gpg\App
GPGHomeDirectory=X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\gpg\Data

However in the gpg preferences dialog the gpg being used is still pointing to the /app/gpg copy

According the installation instruction you only need to double click on the download button and choose your drive to install onto.

But when I click on download I only get the pop up screen asking for installation, save or cancel.
When I choose for installation there is no option to choose where the program needs to be installed. It goes directly onto my PC.

But I want to install it directly onto my USB stick.

How can I manage it?

I just downloaded thunderbird portable , we are taking a trip tomorrow and I though this would be fabulous , seeing as I already use Thunderbird ... I copied all of my mail over and have used it all afternoon ... Tried moving it to a couple of different computers and it worked great ... I figured I would try it on a different service provider - When I started it -- It ask me to set up my account ... I don't know if I unplugged it to early last time .. I used it - But now it does not work on my original computer .. Please help ..

I have a few mails with jpg near 2meg in attachment
from gmail and laposte.net all the jpg are corrupted
not the good size, and when I go to the web interface
they are correct.

it's a fresh installation of thunderbird-portable on a sandisk key of 4gig,
500 meg used, the key, is new, and I have scanned it for bad sectors.

have you got an idea ?

thanks

Don't know what I did (I'm new to this) but none of my apps will run. They all open the my documents folder.

Even the suite itself wouldn't run. I reinstalled it and the menu pops up.

I reinstalled thunderbird but the icon is still missing and even trying to open some of it's subfolders call up the My Documents folder.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rick Culleton
