Thunderbird Portable

Account problems after 2.0 -> 10.0.2 upgrade

Submitted by upchuck on March 6, 2012 - 2:06pm

I just upgraded from v2.0.0.22 to v10.0.2 (I know, a big jump Smile

After the upgrade I added a gmail account to Thunderbird.

My problem: the gmail account isn't listed in the account list so I have no control over it.

And, while I'm here, how do I delete an account? I have several old, no longer used accounts I'd like to get rid of.

TIA for any help.

one of several accounts is no longer working

Hi, this is puzzling me and I'm really hoping someone out there can help; I use Portable Thunderbird 8.0 - I may need to upgrade, I know, but I'm worried that my zindus plugin, and some others won't work. I'm running it on a windows 7 laptop, from the main hard drive (planning to move it onto a portable, but haven't got that far yet...).

Can I make Thunderbird only semi-portable?

The reason I ask is that Thunderbird is very groggy when I load it from a thumb drive -- so much so that it's almost unusable.

So, I figured, I have Thunderbird on my laptop and desktop, and I just want the profiles to stay in sync, so why don't I just have a profile on the thumb drive? Well, even when I use thunderbird on my computer, pointing to the portable profile, it's just as slow.

Address Book Link / Stand Alone

Submitted by DADSGETNDOWN on February 5, 2012 - 9:10pm

Well I have 2 things here. (1) I want and was searching for a standalone address book or contacts, with all the features, email addresses, phone numbers, birthdates, mailing Address and such, still want one and found a post a long time ago with a few others that do also. Something small and simple like Pnotes or stickies and such. (2) It seems it is waste of a "getapps" link, because in the Office Section is, Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition (Address Book) - Email client's built-in address book with import/export functions.

Thunderbird 3 Can't rename IMAP folder

Submitted by nhml on January 25, 2012 - 2:27pm

Hi everyone

I'm using the Thunderbird 3.1.14 and I have one IMAP account that needs to be changed it's "Sent" folder to "Sent items". Though when editing the "Sent" folder options I can't change the "Name" or "Location" elements. Also I have tried to change it on the "about:config" the field "mail.identity.id7.fcc_folder" "imap://acount and server/Sent Items" but when i start thunderbird again this field returns to it's older value.

Thank you

ThunderbirdPortable - Order in dowloading e-mails from several accounts.

Submitted by michele.bartole... on January 23, 2012 - 5:16am

Dear,

since some weeks ago my ThunderbirdPortable installed on my USB Drive used to download e-mails from my four accounts following an order I liked: first my main account, then the others.

But now the order is changed, and my main account "slid down".

Seems a tiny matter, but this quite slows down the whole operation...

How can I come back to the previous order, or better control this order? Maybe something in the config sheet?

Thanks.
