Thunderbird Portable

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.

Hello:

I'm using Portable Thunderbird in my USB drive and is working fine (I can check and send my mails in a IMAP server, no issues).

Sometimes I see a "Sent-1" folder in my servers' folder, after I login the folder dissapears.

Is there any tweak to do in order to go away?

Thanks for your time.

I used TB as a hard disk installation to also read emails with PGP encrypted attachements. I like the concept of having TB as portable version, and installed TBP to my USB device. I also imported my PGP keys from my hard disk. I don't get to read email that contains encrypted attachements on other PC's. Is this a TBP issue, or may I have to install additional software? Would this prevent me from using PTB on any PC?

HI!
Is it possible to make profiles in Thunderbird portable?
I tried to make it as suggested in help.
Made shortcut and than added -P (for profile)
It starts up but without profile manager.
In regular thunderbird it works fine.

Can it be done, or ill joust make another copy of Thunderbird and configure it for another profile??

Thanx!!

After much Hesitation I've desided to start using Thunderbird (portable edition). However, when I try to delete an email I get "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: [TRYCREATE] The requested item could not be found.." I went offline and deleted the email, then again from the trash bin, and it was gone. But when I got online again, I received the same email I had just deleted (obviously, it's still in the server). Please help, thanks

PS: John (and helpers), thanks for all the fantastic programs that you're putting out. I really appreciate the "free" work you do here, and it makes me mad to see when some people complain.

Here's something I haven't seen before. Occasionally, I'll get a pop-up message at the lower right hand corner of my screen that says "1 new message". I'll go into my TB folders, and won't find any new e-mails there. Are these potential spam messages that TB is deleting before I even get a chance to see them? Or is there something else going on? It's not a crucial problem; I was just wondering what's going on.

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
