Thunderbird Portable

It's intermitent but '+' '-' switches by the inbox/draft/sent folders are not shown. It makes it difficult to manage folders and file.

I am using TB3.1 on a USB key under W2000 right now. When I trying to open or save any attached files, it always crashes.

I set up 6 different Google calendars in Thunderbird v3.0.4. When I then restarted Thunderbird, the Master Password was requested for Thunderbird itself (Email), and then for each Calendar - 7 times in all. I have the Google Calendar provider installed.

I then removed several calendars, and the number of prompts decreased.

(( strange, i thought i had posted this two hours ago, now vanished. if anyone
finds it somewhere in the depths of the forums, sorry, but pls let me know ))

installing and running Tbird 2.0.024 on a number of W98 computer works without
a hitch, several tried for long time now.

trying the same with the portable version, same release, again on several computers,
installs, but when trying to run, always comes up with the "Illegal Command" error,
and then closes. never managed to get one running.

what am i doing or thinking wrong here?

hi guys,
I have been using Thunderbird portable and Foxit reader portable.
Problem when I tried to open directly from thunderbird as attachments.
When double click on attachments at Thunderbird email message.
It trying to download it and foxit reader portable at end unable to open it.
How to fix this issue?

Hi All,

I recently had to close my account with my ISP, and had to access my email via the local library. I have tried my portable thunderbird, but no avail as their firewall does not allow comunication.
I want to use this because I receive a lot of emails, and the library only gives me 2 hours a day to use, plus you have to be on the line early in the morning otherwise you don't get a go until 11 am.
Since I have to be at work it is mostly impossible.
So, does anyone knows how to use a technique to allow thunder to read my emails?

Thanks in advance, Gen.

For some reason Thunderbird all the sudden stopped downloading new emails from my accounts. I have for accounts and they stopped downloading all at once. I have tried downloading from each account individually with no luck. I do use my blackberry to view emails, but its not erasing them and all the new emails that I'm getting are still on my individual accounts online. What's causing this and how do I fix it?

I keep getting messages from Thunderbird 3.0.5 about Thunderbird 3.1 being available and to upgrade. John, when do you think you'll have this available in PA format?

Here's my scenario: sometimes TB (2.0.0.24) hangs or crashes, usually because of a nasty piece of e-mail that it chokes on, or an attachment that is over-large. At such times I log on to Web-mail and kill the offending crap. I would also like to be able to start TB offline - anyone know of a way? I tried the command-line switch "-offline" which I read about somewhere but it did not work. Thanks

Update to version 3
I use the portable thunderbird version 2
I had many problems updating to version 3
I'm still in version 2 with minor problems.
How can I update to version 3 without problems ?

Ideas

1) Install portable version 3 in parallel.

Is possible to move or export the actual profile to the new version ?
Is possible to move by parts ?
How can I copy the accounts or any other details ?

What are the files I have to look for ?

Best Regards
