Thunderbird Portable

Can't get my TB on a Sandisk Cruizer to work through a proxy server at work. Using sky.com POP3 mail. No problem accessing it with FF, but TB connection to the POP3 server always times out. Works fine at home..
Any ideas out there??
Thanks

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".

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

I found the answer @ https://portableapps.com/support/thunderbird_portable#local_profile

I am looking for Hotmail extension for Thunderbird portable version 1.5.0

Where can I find it ?

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.

How do I set Lightning as the start page in Thunderbird? There seems to be no option to do this.

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?

I followed the directions and copied my local profile to my key drive in thunderbird portable\data\profile. When I open TB portable from the key drive it appears to be using the default profile. It prompts me to download all my inbox and none of my local folders are there. What am I doing wrong?

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.)

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.
