Thunderbird Portable

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

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.

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
- USB thumb drive
- download and install Portable Apps Platform (1.6.1)
- downloaded and installed newest version of Thunderbird Portable (3.1.7. rev2)
- Configured my email accounts(imap) using the Win7 machine and accessed my mail.
- All portable apps work fine including TB portable.

On a Win XP
- Take same USB drive to XP SP2 box
- Startup Portable Apps Menu - works fine.
- Try starting TB portable. Will not open email and email accounts.
- Other portable apps work on XP.

Take USB drive back to Win7 machine
- Startup Portable Apps Menu - works fine.

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.

Hi,

Is there any way besides stars to watch a newsgroup thread, perhaps placing
a sync'd copy in the newsgroup local folders area till expired and/or saved there as well. Windows Live Mail does this and it sure would be handy if I could
find where TBird has that feature for usenet.

thx.

If i install thunderbird and its plugin lightning does this allow the facility to connect to google calendar. Reading on the web an additional plugin is required.

My goal is that i can sync with my phone by adding into Lightning and using google as a transport.

Thanks

Hello - I have a strange and annoying problem going on with Thunderbird Portable 3.1.7 running under Wine 1.2/Linux (openSuSE 11.3 x64). Many of my emails are being shown with a black background and black text making them unreadable. I have tried setting all the various color options for background and text but to no avail.

I am running thunderbird 2 on a 160gb usb hard drive.
I have about 100 folders in the Inbox plus 10 in my local folders each with sub folders.
I have 3.9GB of emails.

when it upgrades to 3 all I have is:-
Inbox(2608)
Inbox(11)
Drafts ....empty
Sent .....empty
Junk .....empty
Trash ... with 3 empty search folders
Outbox ...empty
Deleted ...empty
Folders ...empty should contain sub folders
Outlook Express Mail ...empty
Saved(653)
ZZZ folders ..empty should be about 30 sub folders

Where are all my folders and X times thousands emails?
How do I get them back

I use Thunderbird portable on my usb flash drive at uni and everywhere else. Privacy of email is absolutely important to protect against identity theft. Portable Thunderbird is a beautiful portable app with some really great features except for the one I need the most, and that is a password protection feature. Before accessing any emails, there needs to be a requirement to enter the correct password.
