i have a computer at home, and sometimes it's connected to the internet and sometimes not.

for those times without, i tried TBP as found on portableapps, and went to use it in the public library. the start-up is really slow and sometimes the computer hangs... there's not much i can do, i don't have administrative rights on these machines and time is short.
(the computers are fast enough otherwise, i think the anti-virus is on some kind of paranoia mode or removable drives get triple checked or sth.)

[Resolved] TB 3.1.3 - problem with accessing messages

Submitted by Paul Gauci on September 13, 2010 - 11:31am

I have just upgraded to TB 3.1.3 Portable.

When I need to open the inbox of any of my accounts, I have to right-click the Inbox icon and then click 'Open'.

After this I have to follow the same procedure for each message in the Inbox this time by right-clicking the Message and then clicking 'Open Message in New Tab'

I have re-installed TB3.1.3 Portable three times now but I am still getting the same results.

Has anyone encountered this issue, please?

Thanks

Paul

Portable thunderbird in a network

I would like use my thunderbird in a net with two pc.

So I only need to control that the main executable look for the data folder in the place I indicate.

This place will be the same folder in any case.
Can I execute twice the main executable from both pc ?

What's the best way to make TB3 to work in a local area network ?

Best Regards

Friends

I have a strange problem on two computers when using TB Portable (latest version, 3).

Here are the details:

Vista (one is 32 bit business and one 64 bit business)
Thumbdrive Kingston Datatraveler 1 G and 8 G (behavior same on both)
On a local network with a domain server and a 2 MB broadband subscription
Running inside a Truecrypt file container (2 G and 300 MB)
The computers are both fairly new and powerful.

Address Book Cannot Be Accessed

Submitted by wdahms on August 30, 2010 - 4:33pm

I can no longer directly access my main address book which is located in abook.mab via Tools/Address Book. The only address book available via Tools/Address Book is Personal Address Book with 32 entries -- but not abook.mab which has 107 KB of addresses. I can Angel see abook.mab using Explorer in the proper directory; and (b) when typing in email addresses the auto-complete function is accessing data from that file.
