Thunderbird Portable

I move around my Thunderbird Portable in a Truecrypt volume which acts as a drive letter. My real problem is that it seems when I move it to a new computer each folder has to take a million years building a summary of the emails present. What's the deal? Is there a fix or can a code monkey look into making this... well portable? I mean I love the product running in a secure volmune and with PGP/SMIME intergration.

I installed Thunderbird portable while plugged into my Vista machine and created 4 IMAP accounts. Everything was working fine.

When I plugged my drive into my XP laptop it still shows account entries for the 4 accounts, but none of the folders, and can't seem to connect to download again. I put it back in the Vista machine and everything works perfectly (it re-learns the folder structure from the accounts and gets new mail).

I have version 2.0.0.19.

I recieve the emails alright but many times it does not bold the folder with new mails in it.

I use alot of filters to sort the emails.

The folder only becomes bold after I have clicked it. It´s almost as thunderbird only then notices that there is new mail in the folder.

I have many folders, so clicking on all of them when checking mail is not really an option.

Any ideas?

I copied all the files and folders under c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\0c9iapp6.PJH\ to the folder k:\ThunderbirdPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\

All of the accounts appear but the subfolders do not.

Also, when I started a download from one account, it went back to Jan 24th.

My filters are not there.

My extensions are not there.

My issue sounds similar to another recent post, with a slight difference.

My whole account disappeared (including email, of course) but my Address Book and Tools - - > Options settings remained as I had set them.

I installed 7-Zip_Portable_4.62.paf.exe as Thunderbird Portable itself recommended, and I was able to extract the msf files. However, when I go to open them, Thunderbird itself opens, but not my files.

Have 150 folders in TB 2.0.0.16 which were set for descending/threaded. When opened in Portable all reverted to ascending/unthreaded. And this continues to change back every time the program is turned on in a different computer.

Discovered that when TB was first opened all of the folders had question marks in lieu of actual msg counts, both unread and total. Go to View/Sort by and they read as I had them set. But when click on the folder it then changes the question marks to the actual numbers and the settings are reversed.

Hi everyone. Yeah, i know...a NEWBIE! i've searched and read everything i could find on this, and nothing quite works. Also i'm not computer savy...other than data entry....so file type "speak" and other lingo goes way over my head!

I've recently dumped MS Outlook in favor of Thunderbird w/lightning on my desktop. I've entered all my addresses & address books, appointments, daily logs in the calendar, etc. ,but as far as syncing to the portable usb drive, i've only been able to install the portable program w/lightning extension and that's it.

Hi, folks!

Is there any way to use the mails folder on TBP (in my pendrive) as default folder in any mailing soft on Ubuntu?

I mean, I want to have the pendrive with all mails actualized without having to "sync" (copy folders). Is possible to do it?

Thank you for your time, and sorry for my english ^^

I have a really urgent problem:

When trying to send mail (regardless from what account) i get the errormessage: "Sending of message failed. Error writing temporary file." I do have enough diskspace, none of the folders is writeprotected.

The problem occured for the first time today, and there is no event that comes to mind that could have caused this. I did not change any options in thunderbird.

Version is: 2.0.0.19 (20081209), running from usb-drive

Who can help?

Hi,

Till this moment I was using web based email. Now I decided to use Thunderbird portable mail client. I have tons of emails in server. I fill preferences in my portable client so I was able to download all emails from Inbox folder. But I have no idea how to dowload emails from other folders like: Sent and custom one?

I am kindly asking for help/ advice.

All best,
Krzychu
