Thunderbird Portable

Is there a way to encypt the thunderbird folder whilst still retain the portablity of it.

If so what would be the best thing to use?

I like the idea of having my email & client on my flashdrive so I can use a full featured client instead of relying on webmail, also being able to re-read emails offline is usefull, however im a bit concerned should i lose my flashdrive someone could find it and read the emails
Which is why id like to use some form of encyption/password protection if possible.

I'm running PA from a cdrw. Whenever I try running TB or Sunbird I get a messages saying that the apps are running from a read only location. I have used the ini files. Can anyone help?

I WAS DOING AN UPDATE ON PORTABLE THUNDERBIRD FROM VERSION 1.1.1.4 I BELIEVE BUT IT FAILED. GOT A POPUP STATING "The application or DLL E:\PortableApps\Apps\PortableThunderbird\thunderbird\js3250.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." I STILL SEE MY MAIL PROFILES IN THE DATA FOLDER BUT CAN'T GET THUNDERBIRD TO LAUNCH. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

RE-

Is there any way to set PTB to show have an Icon show up in the taskbar area (next to the clock, ect) when minimized or when the window is closed?

I am running Windows XP btw.

Thanks.

I had it plugged into a Mac for other things on the HD then I pulled it out w/o doing the safely remove hardware and put it in a laptop and now no emails show up and it keeps asking me to create a account. also on a side note the address book is still there just all emails and account settings are gone!

Thanks so much

hi

At my work the use outlook 2003. (exchange and offline folder)
I use it for my agenda and email program.
Now i have a usb stick with thund portable
I'm looking for a way to sync my work outlook agenda in th port with lightning.
Maybe if it is possible i also want a sync of emails.

Can someone help me with this?
I don't have admin rights on the pc so i think it needs to be portable?

Thunderbird Portable's habit of reverting read messages to unread is a real pain.

I've so far noticed this when
1) TP is run on a new machine
see https://portableapps.com/node/3405
2) Message Search is run on a folder
3) Other times... apparently randomly, just some of the older messages in a folder (which hasn't been visited recently... perhaps since the last upgrade?) are newly marked unread.

This behavior has been present for at least 1.5 years (since I started using TBP... not exactly sure what version, but I keep uptodate... right now TBP 1.5.0.1)

... It's at 1.4.7 now, not 1.4.6... Someone needs to update the version in the next portable compilation.

Thanks.

Having just returned to using an email client (used webmail for a while) i'd be grateful if someone could suggest how often one should backup the files. Also having read a couple of posts on losing messages [usually due to inbox getting too large] - what is the SAFE limit to go to. I remember my inbox in Eudora crashing several years ago.

Sorry if this is listed in their help file but i couldn't see it.

thanks

hi guys,
just switching over from 'the other' email client.
i would really like to be able to view my address book in the bottom left corner of the main window, like 'the other' email client but i cant seem to get it to go there.
i hope there is a way to do it and that the BIG open space there can be used for something and is not just a big open space.
i know its just pedantics but it would really help me to make the switch and toss the other muppets for good!!
