Thunderbird Portable

I already have setup TBP to retrieve my emails at work, but when I go home, it cannot connect to the server at work (obviously). What can I do to be able to read/write emails from work? I really don't know much (actually nothing) about IMAP (or anything else related to email/internet), so I don't know if the fact that the server name ends in ".local" is relevant or not.

In the site https://portableapps.com/support/thunderbird_portable#installing
it reads, "Just copy all of those files to the Data\profile directory within Thunderbird Portable."

It tried to overwrite the existing default profile folder, so I stopped the install and changed the name of the default profile, then migrated the profile and changed it's name to "profile" exactly as the default read.

Presumably I can delete the renamed default profile?

Installed TBP to thumb drive. Then copied over the profile. All 105 msg folders sort sequence had been set as descending and threaded reverted to the presumably default ascending & unthreaded.

This will take an hour to correct -- 2 settings each for each folder! Is there a way to prevent this? If so I would prefer to simply delete this profile, change whatever file and again migrate.

Hi,

I am running the latest available ThunderBird Portable and I am missing a features that I have previously used in other versions of ThunderBird.

When you select a message stored in a Drafts folder in an IMAP server, the message window showed an "Edit drafts..." button in the recipients area (the gray area), but now it is not showing that button.

Any clue?

Best regards.

Is there any solution that allows me to use the same TBP from windows and osx?

I know this has been discussed before, but the link to the solution does not longer work.

Thanks for the help,

Pablo

Hello. I am a newbie, in here but I have been using TBP for no less than months, very week I compact my folders, and also made the profile back up, but TBP continues downloading the old emails as if they were new, how can I solve this problem, I have already looked on the mozilla forums, and also in the TB forums, and followed some directions that somebody have posted, but still the same problem...should I reinstall the application on my USB drive?

Thanks.

I am trying to copy my local mail files into portable. However, when I do this they are not the same - the portable files contain many emails that are not on the local version of thunderbird (they were either moved or deleted long ago.) Where are these coming from and how to I get rid of them?

Thanks,

Strahy

I click on a link in the email and nothing happens; I do have PFF open when I do, so I right click the link and "copy link location" and paste into PFF. Is there a way to fix this?

T.I.A.

If Thunderbird, the full version, has been in 1.5.0.7 for some time now, why is Thunderbird Portable in 1.5.0.5?

I have modified my registry setting for the Mapi DLLPath in the regitry to point to dirve:portablethuynderbird\app\thunderbird\mozmapi32.dll but it does not start a mail witht he attachment. It does not even start thunderbird. Any way to get the mozmapi32.dll to work portably. I know fairly little in regard to the code for the dll or how it points to thunderbird or anything. Thank you.
