Thunderbird Portable

Hi, sorry if this question has been posted previously, been checked with 6 screens and not there, so:
trying to set up TB latest version (haven't used it before) with webmail.
when i try to do this, get error message back:
"Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server localhost responded: undefined is a unsupported domain"

this is obviously a setup problem, but there's no guidelines to follow as to how to set it up. not using it on local network, just wish to use it with yahoo, gmail, mail.com and hotmail.

Tips anyone, please?

When you empty trash do the deleted emails go to the trash bin of the hard drive or somewhere on the USB drive?

Does anyone have any suggestions for speeding up Thunderbird Portable when running off of a USB flash drive? Right now, it takes about 3 seconds to delete an email message which is far too slow. An email message should take no time to delete. I'm running Thunderbird Portable on a year old Sony Vaio laptop which is equiped with XP Pro and USB 2.0 ports. My flash drive is also USB 2.0.

Is there ANY reason not to run T-Bird Portable as the only email program my Hard Drive.

The benefit of this is that it would be simple to automate email and settings backup without using the !!$#^$rappy!!! Moz BackUp utility.

Alternately, does anyone have a better automated backup procedure to suggest?

Thanks

hi i have a kingston 256mb flash drive which i have installed thunderbird to, and it downloads mail with no problem, but when trying to view the mail all i get is a list of servers that it has gone through to get to me(well my address) any ideas on how to fix this or any reason for y it would happen??? and is there anyway to save the 30 odd emails that have downloaded in this way???

cheers

The download verbiage on the portable Thunderbird say it will manage your email on your portable drive and "also" your hard drive. Does portable Thunderbird create a mirror directory on your hard drive with your email? If so, is there anyway to avoid this?

Thanks.

Hi @ all,

I'm new in this forum and want to ask all if someone have an idea how I can administrate different eMail accounts with Thunderbird Portable.
Using my normal thunderbird I have the possibility to use the profilmanager.

Is someone who can help me?

Where does Thunderbird save the passwords to access POP3 accounts? On the flash drive or desktop pc it is using?

Does it leave any trace of the messages on the PC (Temp folder, registry)?

I use TB portable. Recently, it seems that if I sent an emal from a FireFox link, the Compose window stays open and shows 100% sent. The message is in the Sent folder, but the Compose window stays active. If I send another email directly from TB, it seems to "flush" it through.

I've been experimenting with a suite of Open Source, Portable Apps on a flashdrive. Sometimes I move them to a PC, run them, then move them back. Then maybe to another PC. This open Compose window has happened rather recently. I can't link it to any specific changes.

Thanks, I've used these forums alot to get me going on this.
