Thunderbird Portable

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.

Hallo All,

Is there any reason why PTB does not pick up Outlook's address book?

Outlook is set to make itself the default email client, but PTB does not detect any other email clients.

When I export my contacts to a csv file, PTB does not seem to pick up the EOL character so my contacts flow into each other.

Thanks

Hi,

can please somebody tell me where thunderbird stores the account-passwords?
I didn't find no info, neither here nor in the entire web(?!)

I'm asking this in association with the encryption-topic. Namely I intend to encrypt only those files where my passwords are, cause my USB-Stick is not the fastest and encrypting/decrypting the whole profile-folder takes nearly a minute. I plan to use (somehow) EncryptOnClick with only one batch-file, which makes it encrypt/decrypt only these files in both GAIM's and Thunderbird's profile-folder (and perhaps my address book).

What do you think about this solution? OK, IF someone gets my stick he will still be able to read some email-headers, but this is not that bad (at least for me).

Tried the three different security settings at work but can't get TBP to access my personal POP mail accounts. I have just managed to get it working for my work address but replicating the settings (IMAP server, SSL connection, outgoing server TLS if available).

What have I got wrong?

Would I need to reset the default outgoing server each time I use a new computer with different internet connections??
