Thunderbird Portable

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to have TBP2 stop unnecessarily updating the msf files for mail boxes I do not touch???

I run TB2 at home and I use Migo Software to sync my user data to a USB flash drive and then run TBP2 from it when I am at the office. Unfortunately TB and TBP both seem to regenerate ALL of the MSF files for all of the mail folders, even if I only touched one or two folders.

This is frustrating because I have over 600 folders (10 years of email) and the sync process see hundreds of files it has to deal with each time.

If everything dissappeared, email and accounts and I wish to copy Thunderbird to my harddrive on the desktop it saids that my sent-file + some others are corrupted and can not be moved.

What can I do and how can I save my emails?

Can I rename them and try to open them in say Outlook or is there any other way??

Help, please...:(

I use PTB as my email client (from a USB Key) to have access to TB on both a laptop and desktop, depending where I am. I would like to have the right click - send to - mail recipient use PTB on Vista but it doesn't appear in any program defaults list (and there doesn't seem to be anyway to choose a program not traditionally installed) Anyone know a workaround? Can I install TB and then modify some settings so that it looks for PTB?

Cheers,
Rob

I deleted the files outlined in the "upgrading to TB2b2" thread, and that got rid of the entry at the bottom, but in the subject area, all the header information is displayed, which often makes it impossible to read the message without minimizing the subject area.
Note: I upgraded using the stable distribution from mozilla.com.

Hi-
I installed TBP 2.0 yesterday on my drive. I have a 1 GB PNY Attache. When I attempt to launch it from my drive, nothing happens.
Thunderbird.exe shows up in my task list however I see no other signs of it running. I've tried ending the process & relaunching, I've uninstalled the previous versions that were on my harddrive, I've reinstalled it to no avail.

I can run it from my home computer (it takes forever to load) but at work I am stuck.

I am on a novell network with virusscan & I am an administrator on my computer...

Any ideas?

Can someone help me?

Everything was fine, I quit the program and then removed the USB stick. Next time my account and everything else was gone. The account wizard came up and wanted to create a new account.

I have done nothing myself to do any backups, but there is some files (about 500MB) in a folder on the USB stick that I think has to do with Thunderbird.

I tried "open saved messages" but I'm not sure I did it right. How do I get my profile back and my sent/inbox??

Anyone??

hi,
whenever i copy the files from my usb to the pc to be backuped, and then again copy them to my usb when i am going out the file seems to be corrupted and it is also being refused to be deleted .Any ideas on how i can eliminate this problem, is is this an error or we must not copy the files at all.is the usb iam using giving problems.I get frustrated since i copy my TB folder to my USB and when ever i open it at my work office to check mails it is crrupted

Before I installed TBPortable.exe, on my PC .eml files were associated with the standard TB.exe. When I switched to the portable version I changed the association to launch the TB.exe file inside the TBPortable\App folder. However, that association didn't work well, because it launched TB.exe outside of its portable environment, so TB ended up running with an incomplete profile. So I reassociated .eml files with TBPortable.exe. That fixed the incomplete profile issue but introduced a new problem.

I've thunderbird 2.0.0.3 (I think, but it's the most current on the web site), and when I copied my profile to my memory key, everything works OK, except my inbox (and any other email directories) didn't have current data. There was lots of emails, but nothing newer than October.

Looking at the profile(s) on the PC, the dates on the files & directories correspond with the October date of the last email I see.

I searched the entire PC, and didn't find any other 'inbox' stuff other than in the profile directory.
