Thunderbird Portable

First the backstory: I have a 2.0Gb thumb drive that I have portableapps running on. I use ThunderbirdPortable to allow me to keep my personal mail in one app when at I'm at work and home. The work machine is a Windows XP SP2 machine, the home machine is a Windows Vista Home Premium machine.

The issue: For the longest time I had no problems, however of late (and I'm kicking myself as a former Systems Administrator for not making exact note of when it started), I get this oddity where the following typical scenario occurs:

hi,
I recently downloaded v.2.0.0.6 and set the same account options as the laptop version but I still download the same old messages, as if they were new.

how can I do?

thanks.

I kept getting the "negative vibes from yracc_@yahoo.com" error and I checked up on Yahoo Mail...

The Beta is now no longer Beta, and they are switching their accounts over to the new server already, so I found (for me at least) that updating the webmail Yahoo plugin to the Yahoo Beta website fixed the problem and I can now download my messages again. By the way, I also had to update my yahoo mail account to the new yahoo mail because I had never switched to Yahoo mail beta...

Thanx

I tried to import the calendar and address book from microsoft outlook, but got a message file not found. Any idea what happened ? is there a way to manually select the outlook file for import ?

I have recently upgraded to the latest version of Thunderbird Portable and since then I cannot connect to my GMail or Hotmail or Qatarmail to pull my mail down into Thunderbird when connected directly to the internet via DSL in my house with my desktop pc or my laptop pc but in any internet coffee & dailup connection i have no problem.

Has anyone had this issue or is experiencing this issue.

In Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.6, when I access the following menu sequence, Tools / Import / Address Books / my only result is a dialog box with no options. No programs are listed in the "Select the program from which you would like to import" list and the only remaining option is to cancel or go back.

I have properly formatted CSVs and LDIF address books waiting in the wings but have no visible way to import the data.

I am very new to thunderbird. I guess this program is kinda nice.

I use it with webmail plugin and using pop3. I tried to use IMAP with hotmail, but I can't make it work :).

I set the program to leave message on the server until I delete them, when I delete the mail from the program, the mail is still in the email server. I thought until I delete them meant when I delete them from the program not from the email server.

After googling, I found that some say edit the config mail.pop3.deletefromserveronmove to true. However, the mail is still in the email server.

I've been a Thunderbird user for a couple of years and really like it.
My question:
Now that I've downloaded and installed Thunderbird Portable to my S.D. card, is there a way to get everything shifted over from my regular Thunderbird program?

Doesn't appear that Thunderbird Portable imports from regular Thunderbird. Any chance I can move files from my C drive?

Can't tell you how thrilled I am to have my email program on a seperate/portable drive. Really, really cool.

Appreciate your help.

Anyone else have a problem with Thunderbird crashing with a memory read error upon close? It's running on a usb memory stick and I do have an installed version of standard Thunderbird installed on the PC, running XP Pro, if that bears any relationship. I've reinstalled the app with no behavior change. Would appreciate any information out there. Thanks.

Hi,

I've been using TB for U3 without any problems but now I installed TB portable on a disk and I've encountered a problem with the filters:

When I specify custom headers to filter my mail on, and I use them, the filters are not executed. While, when using standard headings, they are.

Is there a known problem with the filters in TB portable? Is somebody else having this problem? I've posted my question to other forums and there people responded they do not have the problem...
