Thunderbird Portable

Hi!
I have a problem with the opening of the files saved from mail attachments. Access to the mailbox via IMAP. After downloading the file to my hard drive, it is becoming less original 10-30Kb. The downloaded file is not open, because he damaged. Using another mail client (such as Microsoft Outlook Express 6), there are no such problems.

Have used program Portable Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 (English version) without additional settings, and plug-ins (as is). A program install on a portable USB hard drive.

I have just downloaded what I thought was an updated version of Thunderbird (v2) from the Portible Apps site.
It is not recognised when I use my U3 drive to load it. I stored it on my hard drive and it does not seem to be in the right forward.

Any offers of help

I have followed all the set up steps, and have enabled POP on my gmail account. Thunderbird won't connect. Always says server times out.

Thoughts?

I assume it is this file:

\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\chrome\userChrome.css

I have been trying to mod this simply with

/* Change Browser Fonts */
* { font-size: 14pt !important;
font-family: tahoma !important; }

and there is no effect on my TB - any thoughts??

Is this the wrong file? wrong syntax???

Is there a chromedit that will mod TB Port userChrome

help?

I assume this is the default behaviour as it cuts down on disk writes, but I'd like to save my sent emails. Is there an option I can enable to do this?

I've scoured the forums and options but can't seem to find anything. Thanks in advance!

Was running Thunderbird on a thumb drive where Firefox is also located, but was not running. When I clicked on a link in an email in TB, it opened FF, but believe it was FF on the hard drive.

Is there a way to prevent this so that it would open FF on the thumb? (Scenario would be when on a public computer with FF and reading msgs in TB it would open the wrong program without my setup and bookmark the site.)

Presumably if FFP was always running along with TBP it would always use that running program?

Installed TBP 2.0.0.5 on U3 thumb from TBP site, not U3 site. Copied over Profile and all is fine. Except, do not have any plugins. There are 3 plugin folders:
1) TBP/app/default data/data/plugins
2) TBP/data/plugins
3) TBP/data/profile/plugins.

Folders 1 @ 2 each have one file only, ""plugins_readme.txt" which states to "install FireFox plugins in this directory."

Believe what is meant is to install Thunderbird plugins here?

Installed TBP 2.0.0.5 on thumb without running it. Then copied contents of Profile folder from hard disk. It didn't read all of the profile setup the 1st time, had several difficulties.

So deleted all TB. Then installed and ran TB on thumb. Did not set up new accounts, simply backed out. Closed TB and again copied profile to TPB/data/profile. This time all went well, Don't know if coincidental or if first starting TB makes a difference.

Hi @ all,

First and since I'm new here I like say "Respect!" and "Thanx!" to all being involved in developing this amazing PortableApps thing here.

Hard to describe HOW OFTEN this whole idea, menu and appz have been a massive help getting things done concerning job, education and home! Plus I really love this website here: clear, fast, userfriendly ... just perfect

To my question:

I have a Sandisk 1gb Cruzer U3 with Thunderbird 1.5.0.12 and can't figure out where to install Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.5 which is an executable file and not a u3p file.
Any help would be appreciated.
