Thunderbird Portable

Cannot get incoming mail on GMail account

Submitted by actus on July 11, 2007 - 12:00pm

I tested the setup and there is no problem sending e-mails from my thunderbird portable Gmail a/c.

However I do not receive any in my inbox whils theuy arrive in my GMail in box on my "fixed" thunderbird.

Any idea to solve the problem please?

Also, how to redirect mail from one provider/server to a GMail a/c when on holiday for example.

TBP2 on Ubuntu is slow

Hi

I'm running Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.4 from a portable hard disk on Ubuntu 7.04 (using Wine 0.9.40) and here's the issue I'm facing:

When I first load up TBP, my CPU usage (as seen on System Monitor) goes up to 100% with TBP taking upto 30-40%. If I wait patiently, the window loads, my email downloads and then my CPU usage drops to a normal level. The cycle repeats when I click on a mail in the list or switch the folder or switch to another window.

determining outgoing mail server

Submitted by jsamuel on July 9, 2007 - 3:36am

i use thunderbird (edit:portable) for my college email account, and the smtp server associated with it is blocked on most networks. when im at home, school, or my parents' house i just switch between the outgoing mail servers associated with their networks, but when im checking my email from a public computer or a computer an an unknown network, i usually cant send emails because i dont know the server. this is especially irritating when traveling. is there an easy way to find out the outgoing mail server or, alternatively, to configure it to somehow use my email account's server?

Thunderbird Language Link Question

John,
On the main Thunderbird page right under the download button, there is a Link called "Languages" which leads here.
Further down in the support section, there is a Link called "Getting Thunderbird Portable in Other Languages" which leads here.
Shouldn't they both link to the same thing (https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable/localization)???
