TBP 3.04 problem? Cannot close "Account settings" dialog properly

Submitted by kermik on May 25, 2010 - 3:35am

A strange thing indeed: At one point the OK button at the bottom of the "Account Settings" dialog stopped working properly. I can still close the dialog by clicking Cancel, but OK doesn't work and hence no setting can be saved. Internet search turns up no solutions for me.

[Resolved] Message stating that folder is over 100Mb

Submitted by Frank1 on May 20, 2010 - 8:29pm

I am running TB Portable V2.0.0.23. Since I don't have any other problems I have not updated to V3 yet.
This message comes up when I receive a message that takes the folder size over 100Mb. When I click O/K button, it continues to work. I didn't realize that TB had this limitation, or is there a setting that brings up this message?
Thanks

Update: Noticed I have an add-on called ShowFolderSize. One of it's options is to set a maximum folder size. The default is set to 100Mb. This is the problem. Just changed the setting. All O/K now.

Full headers - How to copy

Submitted by Barbara in NY on May 20, 2010 - 4:06pm

I am able to open a message's full headers. Please give instructions for how to copy and paste the full headers so that I may forward such a message to to abuse @ (whatever domain name). Regular attempts to highlight, cut, and paste do not work for this purpose. I'll appreciate help with this issue.

XP / TB 2.0.0.24 / ThunderbirdPortable.ini / -ProfileManger

Submitted by tbdeveloper on May 20, 2010 - 12:30am
First off, this will probably end up being more of a "Portable Apps" 
question, but the question is all within the domain of TB Portable... 
so I ask the question here.

I'm using TBPortable 2.0.0.24 (okay, I think I originally installed 
2.0.0.13, and it updated).  Yes, I've been using Portable TB for 
a long time. ;)

I just started a project where I needed a development profile.
So, I created 4 profiles --
o  I went to cmd.exe, 
o  I cd'd to [...\ThunderbirdPortable\App\thunderbird\]
o  I ran from command-line [thunderbird.exe -ProfileManager]

How do I set Thunderbird as default email client?

Submitted by comtech5 on May 13, 2010 - 1:48pm

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.

TB3 mail Local Folders account screwed up somehow.....

Submitted by robw on May 12, 2010 - 8:54am

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.
