Thunderbird Portable

I downloaded and installed Thunderbird Portable on a USB stick and tried it out at home and it worked fine. Could send and receive emails without any problems.

I went to a friends house, using a different internet provider. I could still receive emails but could not send. I kept getting an smtp error. The program asked for a password and everything but I still could not send from a remote location with a different internet provider.

I went to another friends house using the same internet provider that I use and I could send and receive emails without any problems.

Hi there

I've just had an email sort out, merging my old Eudora database into a new Portable Thunderbird instance, and then loading back my pre-existing Portable Thunderbird data from the original instance.

The new instance is version 2.0.0.23 (20090812).

All now runs well except the new instance of Portable Thunderbird I've created behaves differently from the old one in that on opening the new one it does NOT ask if I want to connect or not - just goes ahead and does it!

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.
