Thunderbird Portable

I first posted this as a general TB question, but got no satisfactory answer, so maybe someone can help me here:

I am running Portable Thunderbird 1.5.0.7.

I kept getting a certain message that i receive everyday (a comics.com strip) listed as junk, even though I mark it every day as 'Not Junk'
Day after day it keeps ending up in the Junk Folder. I compact folders regularly.
I added the sender to my contact list, added a filter for that address to be sent to my inbox and had the Junk Controls trust the address book.

Is there a way to mark it as 'Safe sender' or something?

Thanks for your help- Sergio

I have just installed Thunderbird portable to a 8GB USB2 flash drive. I have copied all the local files as detailed here...

https://portableapps.com/support/thunderbird_portable#local_profile

My mails total about 4GB split across various folders.

However, when I launch Thunderbird portable edition and click on any of my larger folders it simply shows 'building summary file...' at the bottom left and seems to hang...

Is this what is meant by "Sometimes, certain profiles will cause the launcher to fail or hang. In that case, start from scratch and try just copying your mailstores (Mail and ImapMail directories) as well as your prefs.js and abook.mab files." ??

My requirement is to copy emails from TB in USB to TB in PC and vice versa. But if we simply copy the mbox files from one instance of TB into another, will it not overwrite existing files? I wanted to append emails.

Suppose, if we check emails using TB of USB, and if we want to copy them to TB of PC, what do I do? Copying the whole Mail folder works fine, but it will overwrite whatever emails present in TB in PC, right?

I wanted something like importing Outlook emails. Create a separate folder called 'emails of USB' and then have its own inbox,sent,trash folders etc.

I copied the folder in Local Folders, changed its name to 'emails of USB' and pasted them in the Mail folder of the PC's TB. All those folders(inbox,sent etc.) are getting created. Even those files corresponding to each folder(mbox files for inbox etc.) is present with the same size. But then, no emails are visible in any of the folders. What do I do now?

Hi
I have used Word to create a signature file that includes a jpeg company logo
with some other text and saved it as a web page file. I have set up Thunderbird
(version 2 alpha 1) to use this file but when I "compose" a new email the text of the signature file appears ok but an empty box appears where the logo should be with a little red diamond in the top left hand corner. If I try to send the message anyway a dialog box appears "Attaching image002.gif" but nothing more happens.
I have checked that the option in Thunderbird account settings for compose messages in html is ticked.
Thanks

Hallois

I set up PGP Desktop about a month ago in order to send emails encrypting with pgp, but soon after having set it up I had some major data loss (my SD Memory Card died on me).

I found out I am suppose to be able to use TBP with GPG, so would prefer to use that as TBP is my favourite e-mail client anyways.

So, since I've lost the first pgp-key I created etc, how do I really go about getting this set up in TBP for the first time?

Didn't learn much when setting up with PGP Deskptop, so really have no experience with PGP/GPG usage..

I have the TBP 1.5.0.5 with Enigmail+GPG version, but can't seem to find any setting for it inside thunderbird, or how do I go about setting this up?

Hi,

1. I found that the directory to save the search result cannot be
Delete. I cannot find this choose in the right click menu. How can I
do this?

2. The search result directory do not including the new folder that
added in the account. I need to choose the new added folder every time
in properties. Can there is setting for this?

Thanks.

Hallo All,

Does anyone know whether it would be possible to setup a portable LDAP server?

The idea is to then point PTB and Outlook to use the same (portable) LDAP server which would simplify synchronising my Windows Mobile 2005 device with PTB and the two copies of Outlook.

FinchSync does not work for me as it does not allow your phone to be the master device, i.e. the phone (100 contacts) keeping PTB (same 100 contacts) and Outlook (same 100 contacts) in synch as opposed to duplicating their data on the phone (the 100 contact duplicated for each source).

Hi,
I use TB 2 Alpha 1.I also used outlook express before which had an option to check messages after a certain number of minutes, and then all the accounts created would get updated automatically.It had not problem with the number of accounts.
How ever I have set TB to work with two POP accounts, and both have been set to get
mails after a certain number of minutes, the problem is it seems that only one mail gets updated.and i have to manually click get all mail button to get the other account to get it;s mail.
Is there a way to set TB to get mails for all the accounts after a certian number of minutes as in Outlook express.

Hi,

I have decided to use normal Thunderbird on my home computer and Portable Thunderbird on a USB stick at work to view RSS feeds.

Is it possible to sync the the Portable Thunderbird to my home computer when I get home? Is it as simple as what is on the Support page - "Copying you local Thunderbird settings" just in reverse?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

Hello,

I have searched the forum for "unread" in order to make sure I am not repeating a previous post, and didn't find anything applicable. Sorry, if I missed something.

I have moved from 10 years of Eudora usage to PTB on a USB flash drive and love it. There is just one single issue, which I encountered. Every time I use PTB on a computer I never used it before, almost all mailboxes and all messages therein will be marked as unread again. The Shift-Ctrl-C command only works on folders without subfolders. Thus, it is rather painstaking to set all messages to read again.
Is there a way to stop this (the resetting to unread) from happening in the future?
