Thunderbird Portable

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?

I have accounts on a number of servers and I´ve specified them all in my TBP. Each of them works for OG mail, but only when it is specified as default.

This is obviously just a tad inconvenient. Any ideas?

I'm going on the road for a couple of weeks, and will be using Portable Thunderbird to pick up my email, which comes through a POP server, not an IMAP server.

How do I integrate/add the mail I sent and received with Portable TB to the TB that sits on my PC?

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!"

I run the Thunderbird Portable (TP) on a TOSHIBA dynabook SS portable PC under Windows VISTA. I have 1GB of RAM, more than 1GHz frequency, and 80GB HDD.

Okay, well I'm not sure if I'm right about the plain text and HTML part, but I think I am. Correct me if I'm way off, please

Well, isn't it right that when composing an e-mail you do so in plain text, right? But you can change it to HTML though? I would like to know how to do that. Could anyone please tell me, pretty please?
Also, could you list the different e-mail hosting providers that use HTML and the others that use plain text?

Whilst investigating another problem I managed to delete thunderbird including all of my mailboxes from the thumb drive. Anyone know a good free utility for recovery the files?

Hello, I would like to use thunderbird to download everything it can get it's hands on in my gmail account so that I can delete my gmail archive, and still have my offline backup.

Believe it or not this marks the first serious attempt to use smtp mail so if my question is silly please forgive.

I can connect just fine, but it only loads 250 messages or so at a time, and i have to move them to an archive folder i've made and then recheck and it loads another 250. also they are moving fast, i'm not sure it is downloading the whole message and i'm sure its not getting attachments.

I have the odd problem that 92 items previously moved or deleted from my inbox repeatedly (but not always) keep reappearing in the inbox. It´s always the same 92! Those that have been moved are all still in their proper location, so the worst thing that can happen is that I end up with lots of duplicate copies, but it´s a bit weird and a bit of a nuisance.

Anyone got any ideas?

Ok, this is pretty weird, but Thunderbird portable says that there is an unread email in my inbox, but there isn't.

It started doing this when I (accidentally) unplugged my usb drive without closing the application.

I've tried reinstalling, but it still says that there is an email in there.

So, do I have to live with a perpetual phantom email? Or is there an answer?

Thanks!
