Thunderbird Portable

Hi all,

I have recently discovered Portable Apps, like the idea and would like to switch as much of my software usage to this suite as well as other portable programs, to give me more flexibility while commuting and travelling.

While taking a look Portable Thunderbird 1.5, I found the behavior described below, which to me looks like a feature (?) / problem of the PTB launcher.
Has anybody encountered this as well and found a solution ?
Did I do something wrong, if so, what do I need to change ?

Your help would be most welcome ...

Thanks

Christian

Hi all,

I am having problems with recently installed Thunderbird Portable 1507. Initially all worked well. That is until I declined the program internet access on one occasion. Since this time GET MAIL does nothing and the timed message feature download tells me I have new messages but doesn't actually download them.

I can still download mail using ;
a)file> get new messages for
b)using the drop down sub menu arrow to the right of the get mail button
c)CTRL-SHIFT-T

I have tried going offline and back on again. I have also checked server settings. Automatically download new messages and check every 10 mins is ticked. All others fields are not ticked. I am stuck here and don't know where to try next.

I have this problem: I have installed on my kingstone 1Gb USB flashdrive the following portable app: portable open office, clamwin, firefox,thunderbird, gaim, 7-zip, VLC, all portable and downloaded from portableapps.com. All of them were running fine until the time thunderbird asked for a update from the Internet. After that the update was downloaded and I restarted the program. A window opened up and tell about the progress of update. This happened in two time with the same result: data loss and corruption of all my data on the flash drive:

First time: the update was sucessful but I lost all my e-mails and data from openoffice

I AM GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE WHEN TRYING TO LAUNCH T-BIRD. IT READS 'ERROR LAUNCHING U3 APPLICATION. I TRIED TO UNINSTALL THE T-BIRD PROGRAM AND GOT ANOTHER ERROR THAT READ 'ERROR UNINSTALLING THE PROGRAM. T-BIRD UNINSTALL FAILED'. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS WHAT TO DO? I NEED HELP

If this has been discussed before, I apologize.

Is there any way to set one profile on a USB drive that can be used be both Thunderbird Portable for Windows and Thunderbird Portable for OS X without any hassle of syncing? Basically, I will be using both OS's and want my one profile to be active for both versions without noticing a difference.

Thanks for the help.

I downloaded, installed, and started using Thunderbird Portable about 20 minutes ago. Wow! What a cool thing, and it was really easy to implement.

My only question, I know that Outlook Express has an option to automatically check email every x number of minutes. I can't seem to locate this option in Thunderbird. Is it not available in Thunderbird, or am I not looking in the right place? Thanks in advance for your help.

Oh, also, I configured it to check my GMail account, but I will be having it check other accounts as well. Will the port settings all be the same, regardless of th

Can anyone tell me that? Can I update through the automatic update in thunderbird?

thanks,

On my desktop PC I use Thunderbird (with GPG/Enigmail), when I'm out I'm using Thunderbird Portable (with GPG/Enigmail) on my USB hard drive.

To have all my mails on both installations, I tried to sync the profile folder of TP

F:\Program Files\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile

That worked fine. But when syncing TBP's profile folder back to TB's profile folder and starting my local installation of TB, I get problems with Enigmail, as TBP has reset the GPG executable path in prefs.js to
