Thunderbird Portable

Synchronising a PC/Laptop/USB Stick

Submitted by mikemmb on May 30, 2007 - 8:02am

Hi,
I am new to this forum and have searched for synchronisation info between different instances of Thunderbird and found plenty of discussions, but I am still not clear on the best way to do it.

My train of thoughts are:
(1) I have, probably like lots of people, a PC, a Laptop, a USB Stick.
(2) The USB Stick has limited memory so should only hold the minimum of mail.
(3) The PC and Laptop have plenty of memory so can hold lots of historic mail.
(4) I should use the archive correctly and only keep a minimum of mail "active".

Transfer info from computer To USB

Submitted by cvlcc on May 29, 2007 - 8:45pm

Mozilla Thunderbird Version 1.5.0.10 on my computer but I need to transfer all the info to my 4 gig thumb drive. That has Portable Thunderbird version 1.5.0.10 The folders are in different places. So I'm a little lost about passing the the information from one to the other. Can someone explain to me how to transfer the information step to step.

Thank You In Advance
William

[Duplicate/Locked] Lightning as start page in "Portable" Thunderbird

Submitted by zarzifodow on May 26, 2007 - 4:49pm

Sorry for previous post. I'm trying to get lightning to come up as the start page in Portable Thunderbird. Shortcuts work differently than in the non-portable version. There must be an easy way to do this. It is eluding me. Any help would be appreciated.

Run TB portable next to regular TB?

Submitted by Klonk on May 24, 2007 - 10:04am

Hi,

I'm just wondering whether it is possible to run Thunderbird portable when another (locally installed) instance of Thunderbird is running.

Following situation:
At work I use Thunderbird which runs all the time.
Now I would like to check my personal emails with a thunderbird portable installed on an USB drive.
Is this possible? Will there be any interference?

RSS feeds are not operating

Submitted by Miles on May 18, 2007 - 11:06pm

Although the RSS feeds work fine in the desktop TB 2.0.0 and prior, on the thumb drive the folders are seen but no feeds are ever active. Wonder what the is trick to activate when using various public computers? (Searched through several pages in the forum for RSS and didn't see a direct question/answer.)

Catagorise Emails

Submitted by vpshanbhag on May 18, 2007 - 12:30am

I just moved from Outlook and find this great.
There I could mark a category for email instead of moving mails to seperate folders.
I a addon to tag the emails, but I have to open each mail and add the tag.

Is there a way, addon ... to tag/categorise multiple emails at same time.
