Thunderbird Portable

We have part-time employees using different pc's. Any of the pc is mainly used by a fullt-time employee. Any of the pc's has a local installation of TB for the full-timer.

I now thougt, it would be a nice idea to have TB portable for the part-timers to be able to use it on any of the pc's. It doesn't seem to work.

If i start TB portable from usb it offers the locally installed profiles.

Is there really no way to combine local and portable "installations" on one single pc?

At present I just want to use Thunderbird Portable as an address book. Can I stop the program asking me to set up email setting when I open the app.

Hi all,

I want to manage my emails portable and be able to use the USB flash drive (stick) on Linux and Windows machines, while having only one "email database" on the stick. Is this possible? I think I can put a the Linux and the Windows version of Thunderbird Portable on the stick and start the appropriate version, but what is the best way to set up the email database?

Thanks

Does anyone know how soon Portable Thunderbird 3 for Mac will be available? I really need it, I overwrote my Portable Thunderbird 2 profile by mistake and am screwed if 3 isn't coming along really soon. Plus I like the new Thunderbird 3 beta for Mac so having it Portable would rock.

Thanks!

Hi. Can we get an official Thunderbird 3 Beta 4 build please. Thanks much. Appreciate it.

My HDD was dying, so I installed TBP to an external hard drive. It worked perfectly at my first try transferring all email from TB on the HDD and I used it for 3 days w/o any problems. My PC manufacturer sent me a new HDD, I uploaded all the disks and it was good to go. Then I opened TBP and it asked me to set up an account. I checked the folders and everything is in there and I cannot figure out why it's not working as it was before I installed the new HDD. It was my understanding that I could plug this EHDD into any computer and TBP would work just fine. What is wrong with it?

For a variety of reasons I prefer to use some portable apps on my computers. Today I moved from Outlook to Thunderbird Portable and am extremely happy with the change except for one problem.

I am trying to send photos from Picasa using TB. Picasa "sees" TB as my default email program, but when I hit send something happens but Thunderbird does not receive the photos.

Any fix to this issue?

I'm new to thunderbird and am wondering how I go about synching my thunderbird with my portable thunderbird and vise versa. What are the steps when I want to take my USB to another computer and then back again to my home computer? Thanks for any help you can give.

I managed to knock my usb key as I was loading Thunderbird portable.

When I now load thunderbird it is as if it is a new instal and never been used. No accounts and no mail. I do not have a current back up. I know I will learn one day.

Is there any thing I can do to retrive my mail. I have lost some important stuff and my boss is gonna kill me. If any one can help please

thank you in advance
