Run Thunderbird e-mail through SSL VPN

Submitted by Anato on November 13, 2007 - 5:18pm

We are trying to launch PortableApps suit (specifically Mozila Thunderbird e-mail version 2.0.0.6) from USB thumb drive over Juniper's SSL VPN. We connect through SSL VPN utilizing Juniper's Secure Virtual Workspace (SVW) mode (SVW creates a protected workspace on the user's desktop, encrypts information that applications write to disk and then destroys all information pertaining to itself).

Since the recent updates it no longer works

If you have the version would it be possible to send me a copy please?

I know perhaps this is not the correct place to post this but i have looked eveywhere and would really appreciate this

Thank you

Hi, recently I try Thunderbird Portable, it's great Biggrin but I have a problem with some attachments envoys from Outlook Express. It's doesn't appear, but if I "save as" the mail, and open the saved mail with O.E. I can see that the attachments are OK. Same mail in the icedove (ex-Thunderbird) of my Debian SID GNU/Linux are OK.

Normal version of Thunderbird and the Portable Apps version.

Submitted by _Shadow_ on November 9, 2007 - 8:21am

I would like to download some themes for my Portable Apps. Thunderbird, but I have version 1.5.0.13. The two themes I wanted only work for 2.0 and 2.0.0. I was wondering whether if I downloaded the newest 2.0.0.6 version from here, would it support those two themes?

If not; could I download the normal Thunderbird 2.0 version in place of the Portable Apps. version? If I replaced the Portable Apps. version with the normal version, would I still keep all of my emails?

No connections access in portable Thunderbird

Submitted by johnbrainerd on November 7, 2007 - 12:38pm

I have portableapps along with portabletor. Firefox works fine with Tor, but Thunderbird does not. In TB under Options| Advanced, there is no "Network & Disk Space" tab. The tab is called "Offline & Disk Space" and thus there is no way to set the connection settings to manual proxy configuration. Is there a work-around for this?

Cannot send or reply to an email. Help!!!

Submitted by jtcowboy on November 5, 2007 - 8:43am

I am loving the portable apps!! A problem that I am having with Thunderbird is that when I click to reply or just to create an email to send - The Compose window pops up but the from has "..." in it. I can put in email addresses in the "To" I can enter a Subject but I cannot do anything in the body of the email. I can't copy/paste. I can't use the controls to add a smiley. I can't get a cursor inside of the body to type anything.

Has anyone ever seen this in Thunderbird or Thunderbird Portable? Any ideas of how to fix it? I am using the latest version 2.0.0.6.

Drafts: too much saving going on

Submitted by fergus on November 5, 2007 - 6:59am

If I take longer than 5 minutes to compose an email, then the current version gets saved to Drafts every 5 minutes or so (eg this morning: 11:39, 11:44, 11:49, 11:51, ...) Even if the completed email is eventually Sent, the preliminary sequence of drafts remains in Drafts. Only emails taking less than 5 minutes to compose leave no trail.
Of course, un-Sent emails are rather usefully saved to Drafts, though it would be more convenient if one version only, the final one, was saved.
