Thunderbird Portable

I've just started out with PortableApps (great idea and great software btw) but I've hit a problem with Thunderbird. I have a substantial Profile folder (lots of mails) from my 'full-fat' thunderbird installation and wanted to import that into Thunderbird Portable. I seem to have imported it OK in so far as the mails are in place and the accounts seem to have come across OK but I am seeing multiple (eight) 'Inbox' folders. If I click on any of them, I see the same content (i.e. my received mails!).

I have many accounts and emails.

Can I Make a new parallel installation TB3 and then import the old profile ?

A good tutorial for this ?

Best Regards

Hi!

I have a strange issue since I updated my Thunderbird to 3.1.1. When I start Thunderbird it is launched two times means two Thunderbird windows appear.
I have no clue how I can solve the problem. I've tried to downgrade to 3.1 but the problem is still there. Seems my profile folder is messed up. If I copy the profile folder to a "new" Thunderbird portable I get the same problem.
Any ideas?

Thank!

After opening an email file, it's not obvious and easy to get back to other folders. Saving the label of the opened file is not a good idea either. I have to keep pressing for a long time to get back to the left-most folder label before clicking on it to get back to access other folder labels such as inbox/draft/sent/trash. You should display those labels distinctly somewhere in the window.

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 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.
