Thunderbird Portable

may be a stupid question, sorry for that :

Is it normal that Thunderbird Portabl 2.0.0.23 is rebuilding the index every time I switch computers. Its odd that the application even registers the change of computers if it truly portable. Do I have a setting wrong. Also I don't think I noticed this in older versions.

any input appreciated

Hi,

I've installed TBP on a D: local drive. After copying my former local TB profile contents into TBP's "\Data\profile" folder, TBP is running smoothly with all my previous extensions & settings intact. Awesome indeed !!! :))

Now, while it's running well it's not truly "portable" yet - it's still using the same outside mailstore folder previously used by local TB.

I'd like to move the mailstore into TBP's directory tree, and so I'd like to have some pointers on the following:

1. Where exactly to place the mailstore inside TBP's directory tree, AND

hey folks
i moved tbird portable from

c:applications/thunderbird
to
d:applications/thunderbird

and now most of my extensions dont work including lighting which is major pain in the butt as i have quite a few calendars i use with it
i even moved it all back into the old folder and they still dont work
whats up with this anyone know?

Hey Guys ,

I have never had a problem with RSS feeds on the desktop edition, but I have not received any RSS feeds in the portable edition. They are the exact same feeds and I have had this problem for three months. I need help. I just want my feeds.

had TB local on Win98 machine (which is no more), created TB portable on flash drive which I am using but now want to give up flash and install local on machine using XP Pro. How?

I obviously removed my sandisk cruzer incorrectly. doing so means I lost all of my emails and profiles. I have the thunderbird backed up using always sync n go for U3. I tried doing a restore by simply resyncing -- but that had no effect.

How do I restore all of my e mails and profiles?

I use this at three different computers - and tried (foolishly) doing the resync at two of them with the sync n go. This is the only e mail program I am using right now - and cannot afford to loose all of those e mails and information.

please help!!!!

I have both Thunderbird standard and portable editions on my computer (obviously one on my hard drive and the portable not "installed"). Both are v2.0.0.23 and both have master password enabled.

When I try to open the standard Thunderbird, the popup comes up and asks me for my password. I cannot see the contents of my email accounts. I type in the password in the popup and up comes my Thunderbird program with my accounts there.

Hi all,

I'm unable to connect to the server to retrieve my e-mails. When asked for the password I get the message - "Sending password did not succeed. Mail server pophost.123.co.uk responded: Login failed."
I use exactly the same settings as on my desktop Thunderbird. Changing from pop to imap doesn't work.
Is there anything I can do or do I need to contact 123.co.uk?

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Just installed the TB3 beta on my flash drive in the default location (\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortableTest) and it keeps asking to make itself the default client on startup, regardless of whether that option is on or off in the preferences.

Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate final (7600), TB version is 3.0b4, although I had this issue with 3.0b3 as well. Drive is a 16GB JumpDrive FireFly; while I don't think that matters (all mass storage devices are the same to the operating system), might as well be thorough, right?
