Thunderbird Portable

You broke it

Submitted by tlynnch on April 3, 2011 - 11:24am

What did you do to this app? I have been using it for years and then I updated to 3.1.9 Now it runs like it was written by (the ones whose name shall not be written nor spoken).

It constantly is re-downloading all the email messages. Click on something it clears the window completely for no reason and takes for ever to redraw. It is banging hard on my processors.

I am running XP Pro SP3 (32bit) Version 2002 on an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @2.33 GHz with 4 gigs Ram, Nvidia video card, 4T hard storage with >2T free.

TB v2 is best

Submitted by fergus on March 24, 2011 - 5:21am

Sorry, I'm a real troglodyte, still running XP and Office 2003. Not because I haven't tried the others - I have, they're just so clunkingly overloaded 2ndly with unnecessary functionality but 1stly with redundant pizzazz.
I just can't stick them.
Similarly with FF and TB (which, mainly, just seem S-L-O-W above v2).
I've found and am happily running FFP (portable) 2.0.0.24. Can anybody point me please to TBP 2.0.0.24 which I've seen mentioned?

Updating GPG_for_Thunderbird_Portable

Submitted by ArthurL on March 5, 2011 - 10:53am

I have seen and used GPG for portable Thunderbird for awhile now via GPG_for_Thunderbird_Portable_1.4.11.paf.exe

Upon the GnuPG site they list GPG 2.0 being available and supporting OpenPGP (enigmail) but only as source code.

So I looked into Gpg4win which is free and open source which aim of Gpg4win is to keep a Windows installation package up-to-date including the crypto software GnuPG.

Problem with ThunderbirdPortable.ini file

Submitted by marcmontu on February 27, 2011 - 7:32am

I've just download Thunderbird Portable and tried to set up some configuration on ThunderbirdPortable.ini file, as usual with portableApps applications (in special disabling the Splash Screen).

But it turned out that the .ini file provided with Thunderbird Portable 3.1.7 Rev 2 on ThunderbirdPortable\Data\settings\ThunderbirdPortableSettings.ini wasn't working:

[ThunderbirdPortableSettings]
AgreedToLicense=YES

local installation about to start then peters out

I had copied my usb thunderbird portable to the harddrive, it is in the user directory. I just copied the PortableApps folder so it sits next to the Documents/Downloads/Pictures/Videos/etc folders that are there for users.

I click on thunderbirdportable.exe and spalsh comes up, and it shows ups in task manager, and then thunderbird.exe shows up and then thunderbird.exe goes away, and then thunderbirdportable.exe goes away.

use system proxy settings in portable thunderbird

Submitted by etellier on February 16, 2011 - 7:05pm

Good day, im using portableapps at work, we are on a secure lan with an exchange server, i have no way to find our proxy settings and info, however, firefox is good enough and have a "use system proxy settings" that works well, however, thunderbird lacks that nice functionnality, is there an update for thunderbird to add this functionnality in it, else, i wont be able to use at all. i intend to use it to check my home mail, which are from a normal pop server.

thx for your time.

On a Win7 Box

On a Win XP
- Take same USB drive to XP SP2 box

mouse timing

Submitted by patrick013 on February 3, 2011 - 8:10pm

Hi,

Is there any way to lengthen the mouse double-click timing
setting inside TBird. The computer is set for 1000ms but
TBird is set much smaller and it is a little hard to open
messages to a new tab.

thx.

Patrick013
