i copied the portable thunderbird directory to my desktop, formated my thumbdrive and copied the directory back onto the thumbdrive thinking that this would work. well, it worked except for one minor detail. at the bottom of the thuderbird email screen (under the bottom bar that displays "Unread: 0 Total: 0") i have code in red text.

Can someone please tell me how to remove this?

Thanks.

Dead get mail button

Submitted by bpfh on May 16, 2007 - 2:16am

I found a thread on this, but no clear explanation other than delete and start again...

I can get my emails:

- when TB starts
- When I press ctrl-shift-t
- When I click on the individual account on the "Get Mail" drop down menu

but... nothing happens when I press "Get Mail" itself...

On a previous thread, 2 possibilites were mentionned: a corrupt profile or firewall blocking.

- My emails can be downloaded by any other means except by pressing the button itself, so no firewall problems.

TB "Portable" but what if I need to change outgoing server when moving?

Submitted by crucco on May 12, 2007 - 2:14pm

I am trying TBP on my flashdrive, and I'd like to use it to download and send mail from several email accounts. Unfortunately, I need to change outgoing server when I move from home to work and vice versa, otherwise I can't send nothing.
Could be useful if TBP let us to change outgoing server for all accounts by just one simple click... it would be very "portable"!
Maybe that function already exist and I was not able to find that?

Thunderbird Portable | Moving profile/settings from Loca

Submitted by RJ on May 11, 2007 - 12:33pm

I am moving to Portable Apps since I need to keep switching from box to box and hate it when I dont see my web and my email like I see them on my lappie.
So moving to Thunderbird Portable and Firefox Portable.

Question:
After installing Thunderbird Portable onto my Thumbie (2GB Lexar), I would, obviously, need to move my settings/profile from the Local install to the Thumbie.

Would it be easiest to use MozBackup, instead of faffing around with the specific folders and files in the profile directory?

Hope someone can help on this!

Start up trouble

Submitted by nathanbunn on May 8, 2007 - 9:57am

I have a huge problem starting up Thunderbird Portable.

I am using version 2 and have a lot of difficulty starting the application. I have it pinned to my start menu, but it seems to take forever to load the application. How do I re-create the settings (if it is possible) without losing my emails?

Thanks

New Account Missing Folders

Submitted by QuarrellaDevil on May 6, 2007 - 3:06pm

I'm working with Thunderbird Portable, Prerelease 2, and observed something a few minutes ago when I added a couple of new accounts: Only the Inbox and the Trash folder are created, by default. If I start creating a new message and Save it, the Drafts folder is created, and of course, once I send that message, the Sent folder is created. I suppose that, if I used Templates, I could copy one of the zero byte "Templates" files from an existing account over to one of the new accounts to create this folder (which DOES have the desired effect if I do just that).

Link for other languages

Submitted by socram.oinotna on May 4, 2007 - 3:24pm

On the download page of PTB, there is a link for getting Thunderbird in other languages, which is this link here:

https://portableapps.com/support/thunderbird_portable#localization

At that location, there is a link to dowload an Aviary language pack, but I could never get to the location that the link specifies. I Recomend changing the link to:

https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable/localization
