Work email on TB

Submitted by chris_elevate on October 21, 2010 - 6:27pm

Hi,

I'm currently using outlook for my work email and leaving them on the server.

I was thinking of swapping to TB and I wondered a couple if things...

Can the personal settings such as folders etc be stored on a network and then accessed by different machines I work on?

Can the portable version in TB access these settings?

Is there anyway these settings could be stored on webserver?

Can you set TB so it leaves a copy of the mail in the server?

Can you import an email list like one I've got in outlook?

Thanks

Make Thunderbird Portable default email program on Windows 7 ???

Submitted by ErinW on October 8, 2010 - 12:52pm

I have Thunderbird Portable installed in my DropBox folder. This way I have access to my email no matter if I'm using my desktop at home or my netbook on the road.

Any time there's a situation where you "click here to send an email", Windows 7 thinks I want to use Outlook. I don't want to use Outlook, I want to use Thunderbird.

How can I get Windows 7 to understand this? Because of the installation location (I think - ??? ), Windows is not listing Thunderbird on the list of applications available to set as the default email program.

Help???

Post-upgrade: Filters Not Running

Submitted by jsgenthe on October 7, 2010 - 2:39pm

I upgraded to the latest 3 version but my filters will not run. The correct information is there but when I click "Run" nothing happens. I tried creating a new filter (thinking it might be some sort of problem transferring the filter info) and it still didn't work. I noticed on this forum there is another user having problems with filters, but his seems to be a bit different. Also, do I have to set manual or automatic for each filter? My older version didn't have this. I prefer to run the filters occasionally to clean my inbox.

"Attachments" Item Missing from "File" Menu

Submitted by cwerner on October 3, 2010 - 5:42pm

Greetings to the forrum.

The "Attachments" item (the one that allows the user to open or save attachments) is missing from my "File" menu of ThunderbirdPorttable 3.1.4. The copy of 3.1.4 on my hard drive correctly displays this item. I'm puzzled and hope someone can explain what is going on.

Thank you very much.

TBP to TB

I have searched the forums and just can not seem to find an answer.

I have TBP setup and working quite well, I recently bought a Win7 laptop. I have installed TB onto it. Is there a way to copy over all my settings from TBP to TB? I read John's info on doing it from TB to TBP and tried to reverse the process but TB does not seem to recognize any of the accoounts or profiles I copied?
