Thunderbird Portable

When I create a message filter they are never saved so when I look in the Filter list it has disappeared.
I've checked the Data\profile\Mail sub folders and a msgFilterRules.dat file is created but is blank.
Occasionally, the message rule is saved in the file, but does not appear in the Message Filters list box the next time TBird runs. Despite not being in the list the rule runs automatically when downloading email!
Any ideas what's going on!

(Tbird 2.0.0.18, TBird Portable 0.9)

-------------------------------------------------
I've worked out what's going on.

I am using TBP V2.0.0.19 on Windows XP Pro SP3.

My Hotmail account has been working fine for some time now. Yesterday I got a localhost timeout on my Hotmail account. I moved my USB drive to my other computer, and the same problem there. I logged into my Hotmail account on the web and noticed an email in the inbox. At the time I thought that it must have something to do with the email, so deleted it. TBP then behaved. Today I got another email and TBP had the same timeout. Deleted this too. I sent myself a simple 2 word email and the same timeout occurs.

I would like to be able to use Thunderbird Portable on a flash drive. I assume that is workable.

I use Outlook express (I know I should change). Can I transfer all my outlook express emails and contacts to a flash drive if I have Thunderbird Portable?

If so, how do you do it?

Thanks

Hello,

to check my e-mails during lunch break I'd much prefer to use portable Thunderbird than clunky Webmail. Portable Thunderbird works fine from home, but at work, it is denied access. To go on the internet at work, I need to supply a work user ID and password that are different from that for my personal e-mail account. The problem is it's not clear within Thunderbird's interface where that extra ID and password should be entered.

Hi,

I have installed PortableApps-Base on my USB-Device the first time. Installed a few PortableApps applications like Firefox Portable, Thunderbird Portable and so on. The problem is that the Mozilla Profiles are saved in "plain-text"(not encrypted) on the USB-Device. So in case of loosing my stick everyone is able to look through all my emails and so on.

Besides the PortableApps applications I installed TrueCrypt and run it in Traveler-Mode. So from my point of view there a two alternative solutions to prevent others from watching my profile-data:

El asunto es que se me abre OE en lugar de Thunderbird.

Cómo lo soluciono ?

Gracias

Hi guys

I know this is a base thunderbird issue but I find help is faster forthcoming than at other sites. Basically I need to install the SwitchProxy addon for Thunderbird so I access my email from my new job site.

I tried installing the night tester tools but that too requires Thunderbird 3 something.

Basically how was it I hack the rdf? I recall doing it with Firefox but can't recall how or find instructions. Thanks for you help guys.

sorry to sound like an idiot but how do I make a signature for all of my sent E-mails?
