TP 9: after restart extended config was resettet

Submitted by kaos46 on December 20, 2012 - 8:00am

Hi,

i'm using TP9 for a while. After a crash i have to "reinstall" a clean version and reintegrate the mailaccounts. But now, external pictures (better the button "load external.." won't show up in any received mail.

To get this feature back working i have to edit the extended config and set "permissions.default.image" from 2 to 1. After that everything works as expected. But if i close Thunderbird and start it again, it seems that the config file will be overwritten and i have to set that permission again after every restart.

I've used my Thunderbird on my usb since forever, but I do keep a backup copy of it on my desktop, which I sometimes access for a quickie.
One thing I noticed a while back is that when I removed adds-ons or themes on my usb, and then transfer my usb copy to my desktop, I see the older add-ons/themes I had removed from my usb, but were still on the older version which I just copied over into the same directory.

Paths in Settings

Submitted by irneb on November 28, 2012 - 2:14am

I've got some issue with paths needing to be full in some instances. E.g. I'm using the Signature Switch addon, but its settings use full paths.

The way I got round it previously was to set the external disc's drive letter to some specific one (e.g. J). Then all the full paths always point to the correct place. However, I don't always have the privileges to adjust such things on all PCs.

export profile from TB Portable to mounted drive

Submitted by frewi on November 6, 2012 - 5:57am

win XP, thunderbird portable 16.0.2

i want to encrypt my emails, so nobody who has accidentally access to my Notebook will be able to read them.

I am using truecrypt and want to move the TBportable profile (lightning calendar included) into one crypted container mounted to a fix drive, e.g. U:\.

I do NOT want to move TBportable itself into the crypted container.

1) I want TBportable to know the (new) location of the profile. But how?

Thunderbird spamming with my email/contancts

Submitted by dochow on October 30, 2012 - 12:21pm

I was notified by a friend that I sent them email encouraging them to purchase slim fast products. I informed them it wasn't me. They showed me the email on their computer and to my surprise it came from me and sent to them and two other people. One person on the list has sickle cell problem and they are so skinny now, advising them to use slim fast would cause them to die.

Is Thunderbird stealing my contacts and spamming my contacts?

My inbox does not show any spam sent, but the contacts are definitely mine.

What is «wrong destination folder»?

Submitted by Martis on October 24, 2012 - 1:26pm

I tried to instal Thunderbird Portable. First, using saved on hard disk file «ThunderbirdPortable_16.0.1_English.paf.exe», then opening it without saving. Both attempts came to the same result: the installation program refuse to continue on stage «Installation folder selection», and I have a message:
«Wrong destination folder. Please, select right folder.»
I had changed folders many times, with "ThunderbirdPortable" in their names and without it, on different hard disks and directories. No matter.

What I have to do?
Please, help!
