Thunderbird Portable

Hi

I can see a few posts on Word Wrap but these do not address my installation of Thunderbird 3.0.4 which falls over when the command used

Does anyone have any advice? AS non technical as poss please

TIA all

I am using a Canon scanner with Canon's CapturePerfect software. CapturePerfect always sends the scan to OutLook. I went to the Windows set defaults menu and Thunderbird portable is not on the list, so I can't select it. There's no option to add programs. The thumb drive is inserted and operating, but Windows doesn't recognize the portable apps on it's default list. Can anyone advise? Vista OS.

Hello everybody I need help...
I've been using thunderbird portable for quite a long time and everything was fine.
version 2.0.0.24 (20100228)

But when I open my thunderbird portable from the portable harddisk today...I loss all the inbox emails before Today and some of the sent emails before today. I can still receive new coming emails and address book is fine.

Hi all,

This morning TB3 decided to throw away the account info of my default account, the one linked to 'Local Folders'. After some searching I found out that this is not the best practice in TB as it is prone to 'issues'...

With some Web searching I was able to create a new account, move over the mail, reset my filters etc. to get email working again.

All my other accounts are fine.

Is there a way to make a little calendar/lightening shortcut like the one for the addressbook in thunderbird has? Or does the way lightening is an add-on not make it work out?

Hi,
I've succesfully set up the above on a USB stick and am wondering about portability of the three applications.
Will I still have full access to all the options I have on the system on which I set them up, since GnuPG is of course installed on the local drive?

Many thanks for any clearing of a cloudy brain.

Hi all,
I've got a non-portable installation of TB2 and want to upgrade to TB3 portable. How can I import my settings and existing eMails from TB2 into TB3 portable?

Hey

I am wondering how do I secure portable thunderbird. Like right now if someone gets my usb key they can just open thunderbird up and see all my messages and email accounts. I put a master password on but you still can see my email accounts when thunderbird loads up.

Also this stops no one from just going to the folders where the messages get stored and snoop around in the profile.

Since I am using it as a portable device and most places I don't get admin rights for so I can encrypt my stuff with like truecrypt.

Hi,

I have recently switched from Outlook Express to Thunderbird Portable 3.0.4. It's great as I can, among other tings, combine more than one account into a single inbox etc. However I have the following problems:

1.) If I copy anything from another application and try and paste it into a thunderbird email the paste does not work (I have tried Ctrl-V and right hand clicking and selecting paste). I have checked that I can paste the data into other applications such as Notepad etc and it's fine.

I am running the PortableApps version of Thunderbird 3.0.4 under Wine/Linux and am finding that Thunderbird cannot be closed properly. I run the portable apps off of a mounted USB portable disk drive, and when I exit/close Thunderbird, it leaves an orphaned process running, which in turn leaves a LOT of open files on the mounted disk drive. That in turn prevents the disk drive from being capable of being dismounted properly. This only leaves me with the option of forcefully killing the orphaned process for Thunderbird manually, which is dangerous as that can lead to file corruption.
