Thunderbird Portable

hello i installed firefox and thunderbird om my usb flash. I'm behind proxy. I configured firefox and he connects to internet well. so does thunderbird: in lower window of thunderbird opens "welcome to thunderbird" page, but i can't download any mail from any mail provider: "failed to connect to server pop.xxx.com. so what is solution?

I'm using TB PE 2.0.0.6. One aspect that I find really frustrating is that when I reply to a message, it doesn't create a copy of that reply anywhere (like Outlook). It is a very nice feature to be ale to look back when wondering what was my last correspondence with so-and-so. Please reply!!!

I've happily moved 90% of my main applications to a 4GB flash pendrive.

Speed is generally ok, the slowest application I use is Thunderbird Portable.

I can live with TP's speed, but it gets unbelievably slow when I select

View > Message Body as > Original HTML

I usually view emails in plain text, but sometimes I need to enable full HTML support. It then takes forever to even show short and simple emails.

Am I the only one with this problem? Any setting that might help?

I'm using TP v.2.0.0.5, I've disabled my AV email scanning and my pendrive is NTFS formatted.

I began using portable because I was using a shared computer. Now I have my own computer and would like to transfer all of my e-mails and folders to the regular edition. How to I do this in Vista?

Hi

I would like to use Thunderbird Portable on an encrypted USB memory stick for confidential emails. Does the software leave any files on the C drive that could be read by other users?

Thanks

Mike

I have held off upgrading to Portable TB 2.0 until just recently. Portable TB 1.5 was working fine, so I figured if it was not broke, don't fix it. I am testing out 2.0.0.6 and am troubled by different behavior. I have separate directories, so I can test out both. Here is what I observe.

TB 1.5
When I click on a web page link in an email, it opens my Portable Firefox, switches to the FF application and loads the appropriate page.

TB 2.0

I´m using TB portable 2.0.0.6 (20070728). When I click on a link in an email, TB calls the default browser. But instead of invoking the webpage from the link, the browser loads a html-file from a local temporary folder (eg. C:\temp\user.htm, when the original link in the mail was https://portableapps.com/user). So it seems, that TB tries to load the webpage itself to a local copy and then invokes the default browser with this temporary file.
This might be a security feature to not leave any information in the browsers history. The files itself are deleted when exiting TB.

Hi!

I just installed Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 PE and already having a problem with it. It renders the inbox message list quite disturbingly. It's hard to explain so I took a screenshot that can be found here.

I have been desperately trying to get it to work but with little luck. I hope someone knows a solution because I really like the program. I'm running TB from my USB-stick on a Dell Latitude D8100 laptop. The problem doesn't occur on my desktop computer.
