Thunderbird Portable

Hi

May I make a feature request of Portable Thunderbird?

I am using v1.5 RC1 and would like to have my own custom wav file to announce the arrival of a new message. The problem I am finding is that when the Portable Thunderbird folder is moved, the wav file does not play. I expect that it is looking for an absolute path rather a relative path. Is it possible to use a relative path for this file or, if not, some how point to the folder in which Thunderbird is being run where the wav file can be put?

This is set up under the Tools>Options>General>When new message arrives>Advanced>Custom .wav file.

Hi,

I placed PTB 107 into its own folder, got all my settings etc from my old setup just right, and imported all my mail/profile. Everything was working fine until this morning. Now all I get is an "empty" thunderbird screen. By this I mean that there are no folders or messages, and the only menu at the top of the program is "Folders"

I have a screen grab (reduced) if it will help get an idea of what I can see...please help me as I am pulling my hair out over this...

Thanks,
Adam.

all right the error says

THUNDERBIRD caused an invalid page fault in module THUNDERBIRD.EXE at 0167:00828e83.

Can anyone help me, or give me a hint how it can be possible to make the extension se tthe path correct depandent to the drive it is running.

I found a nice extension and I thought I'd share it.

All this does is password protect access to your profile via Thunderbird - it does not encrypt your files, so if someone smart gets into your mail they could still read it - but it would take a little effort.

It basically protects easy viewing of your email by, say, family or some guy who finds your lost drive.

John Haller deserves a medal or two for his work with these projects.

In any case I'm trying a slightly more complicated than average use of PT than I'm sure was initially anticipated / intended.

I work with windows pcs and have one windows and one linux pc at home. I'm trying to get portable thunderbird up and running via wine on the linux pc. I've heard this is possible and so attempted the following:

I've copied /PortableThunderbird/ from my usbdrive to my /home/ directory on the linux pc. I think sy. link my profile directory to my flash drive (/home/[name]/PortableThunderbird/profile ==> /media/USB1/PortableThunderbird/profile). The profile is found peachily (if I unmount the thumbdrive it begins asking me if I want to create a directory in a new location). But upon execution wine spits out:

I can send e-mail from home but not at work. what is the work around?

Thanks

Il you start ThunderBird, and start PortableThunderBird at the same time, you will loss acount on PortableThunderBird profile...

This occur on the french version of PortableThunderbird, and is the same problem with US version of PortableThunderbird (v1.5)...

I'm having trouble running PTB on a few pc's...I keep getting an "NSIS error" "The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete." Etc.... It only happens on a few computers. No rhyme or reason.
Thanks in advance,

Ever since I upgraded to the 1.5 RC1 version of Portable Thunderbird, I get the message "m is not a registered protocol" when I open the app. I suspect the "m" refers to the drive letter of the thumb drive that PT is running on, but I'm not sure.

If I move the Portable Thunderbird folder to the C: drive, I still get "m is not a registered protocol" when I launch it.

I've tried googling this, but haven't found a solution.

This didn't happen with 1.0.7. It only started with 1.5 RC1. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how to resolve it?
