Thunderbird Portable

Hi all,
using Portable TB version 1.5.0.5 (20060719) - installed as Portable but with automatic updates (if any) on my Flash device

I have twi IMAP accounts set up for OffLine sync and when I
1) hit File -> Offline -> Work Offline to sync
2) correctly remove Flash and move it to my home Laptop with no internet connection at all
3) run TB for the first time

it actually runs well

BUT when I close down TB and try to run it next time all content of my IMAP accounts is gone and I can see only inbox.

even I can see I have some content in IMAP folder on my flash, i cannot see it from TB

I have thunder 1.0 on my usb and I want to upgrade, but when I move the profile over to PTData nothing happens. The data is not imported.

the PT that I have now 1.0 looks like I moved a PC copy over to my USB.
The only folder that I have in the 1.0 is thunderbird
Inside thunderbird is the .exe /chrome /components /dfaults /extentions /greprefs /PortableThunderbird /profile /res

When I move this /profile over the the new PTdata, then open the 1.5 exe nothing is in there.

Hi.

Is there a possibility to tell Thunderbird Portable to open links in Firefox Portable?
I usually use the portables on systems, where the default browser is IE and would like the links to open in Firefox Portable even thought it is not the default browser.

Kind Regards
Thorsten

Hi,

Can PTB run on any PDA? If so, which platforms? I was hoping to run Thunderbird on my Palm but that seems to be impossible at the moment, and users are left to synchronizing TB with whatever mail client they have on their PDAs.

Hello Group;

I can not use any e-mail cliet at work due to firefalls.

I do use gpg to encrypt and or sign my e-mail. I wqs told you could set up Tunderbird to compose and then encryo/sign e-mail and then cut and paste it into a web based mailer.

My question is how do I do this. I thought that others may have a similar problem and could help. I do not mind recieveing mail that I cut and paste into my word processor. Being able to do some automatically would be a big help.

Hello everyone,

I am a new user and am having some issues with PT. I keep getting the following error: gpg: error loading `iconv.dll': The specified module could not be found.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I am using PTB in my Kingston flash drive without any problems. My mainboard only has USB 1.0 ports, so I just installed a PCI USB 2.0 card.
When I try to launch PTB from this new ports I get this error message:
(sorry my Win XP is in spanish)

If I plug the drive in the old ports, i can launch PTB as usual.
I can use the drive+PTB in my work PC, a Dual Core pentium, so USB 2.0 is not an issue. Could it be the PCI USB Card?? I changed it for another one, with same results. (VIA Chip, 5 ports (1 internal))

Thanks fo

Been using PT forever and love it (thanx!), BUT. Just installed the latest update (fresh install, then moved over my saved profile) and all seemed to go well, but when I started up the new one to test it out, it said that my SMTP ShowName extension, which saved my butt because I often have to "tweak" my smtp settings for numerous accounts) won't work with the new version---and prayerfully clicking on the "check for update" button yielded "no update available."

It's been so long since I first installed this that to my embarrassment I've forgotten the exact function, but I know that until I did, I couldn't set PT to use different SMTP servers for different accounts?

I've been using Thunderbird Portable for a while, but now a client has asked to get it on the action (I may have extolled the virtues of the portable life, never thinking that I'd have to set things up for him, d'oh!)

THE PROBLEM
-----------
He has MANY mail accounts.

1) Is it necessary to set all these up manually when transferring from his desktop Thunderbird to portable Thunderbird?

If so, is there an easier/faster way. Some of these passwords are hidden. I envisage lots of time-wasting finding them.

As I say, it's been ages since I've done this, so a reminder would be great!

I was very happy when i downloaded the ptb201 release. I tried to upgrade my previous ptb1.5 to 2.01 but when i tried to localize i get errors
I tried to localize your btb201 release but I got the same errors.
I downloaded the latest HU release from here
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-mozilla...
and copied to ThunderbirdPortable\App\thunderbird but i get this message at the bottom and the menu is missing.
menuitem id="FolderPaneContext-new"----^

I tried to install switch-locales-1.5.1.xpi also but final is the same.

How could I solve?
Thanks
