Thunderbird Portable

I've made a few other posts about parts of this problem, but none have been answered. I really need some advice, since the situation I am now in is that it takes nearly five minutes to start Portable Thunderbird. I need a portable mail client with GnuPG that I can use to *quickly* plug in to a guest PC and get my mail. I need the ability to sign my messages so the recipient can verify that it really *is* from me, even when I am away from my "home" PC.

I downloaded version 1.5.0.2 with Enigmail+GPG after several unsuccessful attempts to install Enigmail in the "Vanilla" version. After a lot of experimenting I found where the Profiles were stored and got my address book and saved mail working. The GnuPG stuff works fine from my "home" PC, but when I connect using a guest PC, it does not sign my messages. That is the object of the whole thing - to be able to send a message from anywhere, and have the recipient able to verify through the GPG signature that it came from me.

I understand that the portable thunderbird app now includes it's own default profile folder where i can simply slip in my current stuffs, but what i wanted to do was maintain the location of my default profile (outside of the protable thunderbird folders).. i wwas looking for the *.ini file to change the location of the default profile folder but i cant seem to locate it.

not a major issue really but would like to know how to do so.

Hello:

I think there is a typo in the Copying Your Local Thunderbird Settings instructions...

It guides you to copy the abook.maP file rather than the abook.mab file

it should be the abook.mab file, right?

Can you please help me, how can I get this data back.

I moved my Portable Apps to an 8 GB T.One USB 2.0 HDD (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpN...) some time ago and everything seemed to work well. About a week ago, Portable TBird started to crash upon application start.

Interestingly enough, I've also installed the portable version of TB for Mac OS X, and that application still works on the HDD without crashing.

I upgraded to the newest version of PTB, I downgraded to an earlier version, and finally I installed to the 1 GB Thumbdrive I used to use my portable apps on (but moved to the HDD for space and worry of flash drive fatigue) and everything runs now.

Hi there!

My latest portable Thunderbird has a big problem. I cannot install any theme or extension. I use Windows XP Pro SP2, but it happens on all computers I have, even in Linux one, using the profile I use in windows. If I drag & drop, or click install and select xpi or jar file, the theme/extension window remains blank... what can be causing this?

Any idea?

Thanks for your time.

What are the steps to take so that my RSS feeds don't take too much space on my thumb drive? Right now, I think they take 34MB (I have 256MB and running out of space).

I had selected the option "delete messages that more than 2 days old", but that didn't affect the footprint it had on my thumb drive.

How can I move down "news & Blogs" and move up "Local folders", is any extension can do this?
