Thunderbird Portable

Overnight TB slowed to a crawl.
Program load takes "forever", message loading is slow, Delting a msg is real slow.
Did Compact Folders.
Seems that I remember that deleting a file in each folder that will be rebuilt on startup fixes this problem.
Am I having a "Senior Moment" or is there a such a delete a file fix?

The thunderbird a2 is out already. I've been using portable thunderbird a1 for months and enjoyed using it, except for few bugs. Hope that the portable a2 will be out soon. Keep on the good job!

How do I copy emails from one instance of TB protable to another? When I tried copying the Local Folders of one into another after renaming it, all the folders came into view, but none of the emails.Is this not the right thing to do? If not, please help. Also how do I archive emails from USB's TB into PC's TB?

Thanks

Hi folks!
Hope you can help me. Because I don't know why my sent file in Thunderbird Portable is still big. It is about 150 MB, but in my Sent-Folder are only ten
files. Their maximum size should be 6 MB, or something around that.
I had sent some files with a big attachment, but I have deleted them all.
Do you know why the file is still big?

I know there's already a link in PA.com for a calendar extension, but Mozilla is no longer working with it, instead they are working on Sunbird (a whole calendar app that John already has made portable) and Lightning (which is a TB or FF extension, similar to Calendar)

So here's my request. With calendar you could add a parameter to open the calendar without opening TB (see here). Is there a way to do this with the new Lightning extension? I'm guessing the only thing we (I) will need is the launcher to open the calendar.

I was never able to get the junk filter features to work in the most recent (I believe) Thunderbird portable 2.0 alpha. I'm running this on an XP machine off a U3 drive.

I found that the Junk folder did not automatically create, leading to various efforts on my part to create one myself. I have the mozillaZine "Junk messages not moved" and followed the instructions (thank you), but the ability to automatically moved Junk mail items to the Junk folder never appeared. I reinstalled a couple of times.

So I'm back with the released product 1.5.0.7 which works very well in this and other regards.

hi everyone,

i use TB 1.5.07 and it is in USB drive.I like to keep my mail acccount small in the server as well with unwanted mail being deleted after i choose to do it from T/B

so how do i configure it corectly, i have experimented with ticking the box remove messages after i choose to delete but after i do it and visit the webmail site it is still there , which is confusing.

hi ,
i use thunderbird 1.5.0.7 in a USB drive.when ever i copy and paste it to the local PC at home i notice that after starting TB it has changed folder names i have created for specfic emails through email rules. this happens only for one folder only .that is my bluebottle folder and the folder is shown in something like 8g6ccs, which is very confusing.

what can i do.
my main motive is to have TB run on a USb abd also have a regular upadated copy of it in my PC. is this the correct way to do it or should we only copy profile folder.

regards

Hi,
I've been using TBP in my USB drive for a couple of months, and now I'm getting a U3 Kingston drive.
What would you recommend and which one is better: TBP or U3 TB??
Should I switch to U3 or keep using my regular TBP?

In case of switching, all I have to do is copying my 'profile' folder??

Thanks a lot for your help.
TBP kicks ass!

I set up Thunderbird Portable with my university's incoming mail servers and my outgoing mail server as my home internet provider. At home, I can check and send mail without a problem, but at the university I can receive but not send it. When I try to send mail from the university I get this message:

"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: #5.1.0 Address rejected... Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again."

How can this be resolved? Do I have to change the outgoing server depdending on my location?

This is my first post, if this has been addressed elsewhere please direct me to that thread.
