Thunderbird Portable

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.

So far its not posible with thunderbird as far as i know.

BUT!

You can use other tools and for example auto execute Thunderbird when new mail comes in.

I use it for my work mostly with just a sound notify which is enough for me.
So far, on 10.000 test mails it does not crash

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?

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!

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

Anyone has an an idea on when you suppose Thunderdbird 2 will be released as a PortableApp?

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).

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

Upgraded PTB from 1.5.0.8 (?) WITHOUT enigmail/GPG to 1.5.0.10 WITH enigmail/GPG
The only extension I had (before upgrade) was SMTPSelect.

There is no OpenPGP menu item, or any indication that it is installed.

I tried renaming the PTB directory and installing from scratch, and then it's there - but now I don't have my profile and mail (I have many accounts so it'd be hard to set up again.)

Can anyone help me either activate OpenPGP, or tell me how to copy all my profile accounts and mail from 'broken' version to 'good' version?

Thanks much.

I am new to Thunderbird Portable, so this is probably a lame question!

In the full version I was able to create a .html file with my personalized signature. My .html file contains a .jpeg. I can't seem to get it to appear when I use TB Portable? Am I missing a step?

Also, I am having trouble subscribing to a newsgroup via TB Portable? Is there a trick to that too?

Thanks,
Aaron
