Thunderbird Portable

Account Settings / Junk Settings , changes wont stick

Submitted by bkjr on May 30, 2012 - 11:50am

Hi,

Thunderbird portable, 12.0.1 .

edit: I run it on a win7 64bit PC, on the hd.
edit: incase it makes a difference, I am running 3 different (different folders) installs of TBP, all 12.0.1 . Of course only run one at a time, but I have soo many email addresses, I group them into one of the 3 installs to separate business, from private, from outside interests.

I've been trying to tweak up the handling of the junk mail.

All "Seems" well when I go into "Account Settings" , select any account, change the settings in "Junk Settings", and than click "OK" and close that window.

Hi all,

I have just followed the instructions on moving Portable Apps and moved from a USB Key to the C: Drive for speed reasons until I get my mail files sorted out.

Firefox works. Thunderbird does not work.

The initial small TBird identifier comes up and the rotating circle appears for 10 seconds and then disappears.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can remedy this situation ?

Regards, Lethal

Thunderbird Update failed

Submitted by braeuer on May 16, 2012 - 6:47am

Hi, I have the Thunderbird App running on an network drive. Everytime when there is a new version and I try to make the update I get an message
"Software-Update fehlgeschlagen - Das Update ...". But there is no other process of thunderbird activ.
my work arround:
I copy thunderbird to an USB stick an start the update again - this works fine. After the update I copy thunderbird back to the network drive and it works fine.
Have anyone an idea, why the update on the network drive fails?

TB stops downloading messages during session; requires pc reboot

I apologize if this topic has been covered, but I couldn't find it. When I cold boot the pc, I have TB set to autostart. It is also set to download messages automatically when started. The initial download works fine. For a while after that (an hour?)it continues to download automatically and manually on demand. Then it no longer will download messages queued on the gmail server. Curiously, it will send newly created outgoing messages through gmail smtp, even after it stops downloading messages from the gmail POP server.

Thunderbird Portable on Ubuntu Linux (through wine) - Open link.

Dear users,

I'd like to refer to the possibility to open the URLs contained in the text of e-mails, making a clic on these to directly open the browser.

A lot has been already discussed in this Forum, and I understood that it isn't possible to do this, due to the property of PortableApps to preserve the privacy and not to leave traces on the pc.

Anyway, I found a comfortable way to quickly open the links, in Windows: I simply drag the link from the window of the e-mail (in Thunderbird) to the window of Firefox, and the link opens. So I did all these months, with satisfaction. Smile
