Submitted by coocoon on February 24, 2010 - 9:45pm

I used the Provider for Google Calendar in TB3.0.1 portable to sync my google calendar.
It's work fine at home pc which I set the google calendar's username/password first, but if I run the TB3.01 in others computers, The TB can't link to the carlendar, it always request the google calendar's username/password.

I try to delete the calendars and reset them again in others PC, I check the "saved passwords", and there is not save the google calendar password still.

Why? Please help me.

Troubles with TB 3.01 under Linux/Wine

Submitted by darkstar on February 23, 2010 - 3:52pm

Just did an upgrade of my entire Portable Apps Suite and have ran into troubles using Thunderbird under SuSE11.2 Linux / wine. Seems ok under Windows Vista. Under Linux, emails are only partially viewable. Any previous replys will show, but new content does not appear. just white space. Highlighting and doing a copy paste does move content into the clipboard so I know the content of the email is there. Also can see it if I view the source. But it does not display.

Master Password Required after update

Submitted by Tickie6 on February 22, 2010 - 1:59pm

Master password required to use 3 after update.

I tried to remove my master password with this from Thunderbirds website.

Thunderbird 2 and above: Choose Tools – Error Console, paste the expression: openDialog("chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul") and press the Evaluate button. That will open a dialog asking you if you want to reset your password.

Problem, Thunderbird errors out I click "OK" to remove the master password. Then when I restart all the old passwords are still there.

Is there a diff way to do it with the portable apps...?

Thanks

Is Thunderbird a HTML reader ?

Submitted by patrick013 on February 22, 2010 - 12:19pm

Is Thunderbird an HTML email reader ? No matter which reader I use, Windows Live, Thunderbird, or SeaMonkey, I cannot view email offline with images displayed. Gmail looks great but offline reading at home is completely imageless. I'm letting images thru without blocking, etc. but it just doesn't want to work offline.

Is there a configuration switch somewhere I am missing ?

THX.

language

Over a year ago I upgraded Thunderbird Portable and my language setting changed from UK to American style, e.g. my waist basket became "trash".
I have just updated Thunderbird Portable to the latest version and it still has the American style. is there a way I can change it back to English/British?

Many thanks in advance

T'Bird Portable 3.0.1 - does not start up

Submitted by va3uv on February 20, 2010 - 8:27am

Hi Folks;

My problems with T'Bird portable started a couple of weeks ago (I WAS running T'Bird 2.x) off a USB drive. T'Bird just stopped working - wasn't able to invoke it at all.

So, I bought a brand new Kingston USB drive, installed T'Bird Portable 3.0.1 and for four days it worked just fine :). However, now when I try to invoke T'Bird all I get is the Splash screen and poof - nothing more!

All acounts disappered

Submitted by aijad on February 18, 2010 - 1:33pm

I forgot to close Thunderbird before shuting down computer (WinXP). And now, when I wish to open Thunderbird, it opens totally empty and asks to set up accounts, although I had several e-mail accounts there.
But the add-on Calendar (Lightning) is ok - it still has all the notes and events I had saved.

What could I do, to get back the mail accounsta nd all the mails and address book?

WINNT folder created on C: drive, is this a problem?

Submitted by joetron2030 on February 17, 2010 - 10:39am

I did a search and I browsed through the FAQ so I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere already.

I'm running the latest Thunderbird Portable between Vista x32 and Win 7 x32 systems. I have configured the "Local Directory" path for all of the email accounts (under "Server Settings") and the "local folders" entry to point to the appropriate folder on my USB drive.

Different Profiles? Is it possible?

Submitted by getco on February 16, 2010 - 2:20pm

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that TB supports multiple profiles - but am not sure whether the Portable edition does or does not - and if it does how do I accomplish this.

The thing is that I'm using multiple email accounts for my different business ventures, and I hate it when I send an email using the wrong address because I like to keep my different businesses separated from each other.

Thank you in advance!
