Thunderbird Portable

Error sending mail

Submitted by bobjay99 on March 5, 2007 - 5:36am

Can anyone please help me?
I have just purchased a Sandisk Cruzer Titanium USB Flash drive with U3.
I am using TBP with the Webmail extension.
My Hotmail inbox downloads without problem, and I can receive new emails. However, I cannot send new emails; I get the following message "An error sending mail. Unable to connect to SMTP server smpt.hotmail.com"
My smtp settings are:
Description: HOTMAIL
Server name: smtp.hotmail.com
Port: 25 (I have tried numerous others)
User Name: myname@hotmail.com
Secure Connection: TLS (if available)

getting my e mails from a non working portatable Thunderbird

Submitted by Goldtag on March 4, 2007 - 10:03pm

My Portable Thunderbird will not open, either from my desktop shortcut, or directly from the file on my jump drive.

I have already tried making a copy of the profile folder, and then deleting it. Nothing happens. I do get the Thunderbird Portable opening screen, and then nothing.

I thought I would uninstall the current one and then install a new download, but I dont want to loose the emails in that folder. How do I copy them or send them or import the emails into a new download?

I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Uncompressed copy of Thunderbird Portable with Enigmail and GPG 1.5.0.9 en-us

Submitted by LynnJordon on March 3, 2007 - 5:32pm

Hello

Does anyone know where I could find an uncompressed copy of "Thunderbird Portable with Enigmail and GPG 1.5.0.9 en-us?"

When I run "Thunderbird_Portable_with_Enigmail_and_GPG_1.5.0.9_en-us.paf.exe" it crashes every time with "7z SFX has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

I had the same problem with "Thunderbird_Portable_with_Enigmail_and_GPG_1.5.0.8_en-us.paf.exe"

I think that avoiding the self-unzipping file all together would be easier.

Thanks!

SSH tunnel and Certificates

Submitted by martyskitch on March 1, 2007 - 9:00am

I have set up a SSH server that I use to tunnel to the outside world from work. Everything works great but whenever Thunderbird goes to get my pop mail from gmail it displays a warning that the certificate is not from the localhost but from pop.gmail.com. Is there anyway to set it to just accept the certificate from the localhost? Thanks for you help.

Incoming/Outgoing Servers

Submitted by Patrick Patienc... on February 26, 2007 - 9:27pm

When adding a new account in Thunderbird portable, it askes for an incoming account and an outgoing, I have no idea what it wants from me. My mail service is hotmail. I've checked the forums and Thunderbird Portable help but cannot find anything similar except for the webmail add-on which I'm not sure I need at all. Though I did download and tried to install it, but windows dows notrecognize the file type. So if someone could help me by telling me what server I need to put under income and outcome servers. Thanks in advance.

Cannot start Thunderbird.exe 1.5.0.9 (20061207) from the PortableApps menu

Submitted by moghesed on February 25, 2007 - 10:06pm

I saw where someone else had a similar problem on this thread: https://portableapps.com/node/5185

When I choose thunderbird from the portableapps menu, thunderbirdPortable.exe stays in memory(processes) for a few seconds, and never loads thunderbird.:-(

There was a suggestion about the .ini file in the ThunderbirdPortable\Data\settings folder.

Mine currently says
[ThunderbirdPortableSettings]
LastProfileDirectory=L:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile
AgreedToLicense=YES

That solution, from the other thread, is already there in the .ini file.

Emails stored in Data\profile AND "default profile" - borked import

Submitted by kcbnac on February 25, 2007 - 4:37pm

Using Thunderbird Portable (non-beta) on both devices (before and after moving)
XP Pro, SP2
Multiple accounts, each using their own folder hierarchy (NOT in Local Folders by default, but I was sorting them into sub-folders in Local Folders)

So when I went to move my copy of Thunderbird Portable over to another drive, I did a fresh install (I don't know why I did this in retrospect, I should have just copied the whole thing over) I copied over the profile in Data\profile into the new copy of Thunderbird Portable.
