how to select gpg key in enigma thunderbird

Submitted by ottosykora on October 22, 2007 - 2:03am

How is one supposed to select the correct public key in the gpg enigma thunderbird?

There seems to be no dialog or similar way to select propper key, it looks that just some key or perhaps the first key having similar text string to the mail address is selected.
This is not very useful, how to deal with cases when I have more recipients with similar name or one recipient with more then one key?

Inbox dissappeared

Submitted by dcaliri on October 21, 2007 - 5:08pm

I run my Thunderbird on a 4GB USB Drive. I just use it as a way to transport my emails. The problem I had is that all of a sudden Inbox dissapeared. What I did 1st was to check if the USED SPACE on the drive changed, and It didnt. I just have 2 folders where I save mails. One is "Inbox" and the other is "Sent".

Inbox's size was 520 MB
Sent's size was (and still is) 250 MB

Submitted by ottosykora on October 19, 2007 - 9:45am

I have managed so fat to install the enigmail and gpg portable with it, make the config to suit my needs and import my pgp leys etc.

The dir where now the keyfiles and importanat the conf file is placed by the installation procedure is :

....\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\gpg

wokrs OK, but does anybody know where this path is defined and if it is possible to change it?
Probably defined by one of the script files, but which one to search for?

MULTIPLE PROFILES

Submitted by megator on October 16, 2007 - 12:29pm

Can you revisit the creation of multiple profiles in TBP? I specifically use several email accounts for work. Rapid access to multiple email accounts w/o launching several TBP launchers is a definite help.

I read the forum under U3- TBP. J. Haller states that not much demand has shown for it.

The "ini" sections have failed me to no avail. Yes, I read why too...per J. Haller. I am not a programmer either..nor do i wish to engage in this endeavor. I will leave it to the technology wizards who created these awesome capabilities.

reporting number of contacts in address book list

Submitted by Ian M on October 15, 2007 - 3:11pm

I use lists to mail to groups of people, but need to limit size of lists to prevent my ISP refusing the mail thinking it is spam when it is not.

Is there a way for Thunderbird portable to report how many contacts in a list to save me counting or is there somewhere I can post to the developers to request this as a feature.

Thanks.

Ian

Vista won't start my portable Thunderbird

Submitted by schurmann on October 13, 2007 - 1:08am

I am travelling and my Cruzer Thunderbird has worked perfectly many times in internet cafés. Then I bought a notebook with Vista loaded and, when I tried to run Thunderbird from my Cruzer, it told me;

"Thunderbird cannot be started. You may wish to re-install it to fix this issue. (Error: The program could not be found: /Thunderbird/Thunderbird.exe".

TB w/ exchange

Submitted by Lahru on October 11, 2007 - 11:48pm

I've set my TBP to work with exchange it initially pulled down all of the folders, but no e-mail in any of those folders. It did get mail, however only what was in the inbox the first time I ran it. Now, I get no new e-mail from the inbox or any from the other folders. Our exchange server is set to use IMAP so I don't get what is going on.
