Changing thunderbird portable ICON

Submitted by Lope on August 29, 2012 - 8:34am

I run 2 instances of TB at once. One for personal emails, and one for work.
I'd like to change the icon of the Work Thunderbird so that its obvious which is which, because i switch between them all day long.

I opened up ThunderbirdPortable.exe in XN Resource Editor 3.0.0.1
Saved the icon 103 as an icon (with all the diff icon formats inside)

Opened the icon in IcoFX, edited the icons.
Then in XN Resource editor I added the new ICON, removed the old one, changed the language and resource number to be the same.

Message Filters and Folders all disappeared.

*sigh*
I'm getting terribly frustrated with my Thunderbird Portable.
I've been using it correctly - exiting, using the Portable Apps exit so I can keep it from corrupting.

But yesterday all the message filters for one of my accounts simply disappeared. Not to mention the retention rules for the folders.
Today? All the filters for the second account and all of the folders I created for it are gone.

Anyone else getting this type of error?

AOL sent mail

Aol usually logs in and lists (although it takes some time frequently) But the sent mail filing hangs 9 times out of 10 and states it cannot list as sent, would you like to keep a copy? Why is it that it can do it some of the time? If it has the ability to log on the server as sent once, what is the issue the other times?

[Closed] Clicking on URLs in Thunderbird causes problems with Firefox as default browser

Submitted by ratcatcher on August 16, 2012 - 5:47am

Although this problem has come about with Firefox 14.0, I'm reporting it as a TB bug for reasons that will become clear as you read on. I've also reported it as a bug to Mozilla.

I have two machines which both run Firefox (non-portable version) as default browser. Up to and including Firefox 13, if I clicked on a URL in an email in Thunderbird (portable) with Firefox already running on the machine, a new tab would open showing that URL, as expected.

[FIXED] French package - version 14 - doesn't work

Submitted by Tartempion on August 15, 2012 - 10:51am

Hello,

I tried to install the French version of Thunderbird 14 but the installation fails and gives this error message :

L'instruction à "0x003a18cb" emploie l'adresse mémoire "0x001ab000".
La mémoire ne peut pas être "read"

The English version works perfectly.

My OS : Windows XP SP3 fully updated.

Sorry for my bad English and thanks for your help.

Submitted by wube49 on August 12, 2012 - 1:10pm

dear friends,

with the Tb 14.0 it is the same situation since 12.0.1. i live now in venezuela and use portabeApps under linux and windows. with windows i have no problem.

but the infocentros, public computer centers, use linux with different distribution. debian direkt, ubuntu on debian, canaima on debian. since 12.0.1 all versions breaks.

we use wine 1.01, 1.2, 1.3. in all systems it is the same. wine 1.4 never i check. maybe, there is the problem.

have you some information about? and some tips, what we can do?
