Thunderbird Portable

OK, since there might be some issue when running mime types calling up external programs placed on other drives, I tried to set in portable TB progs which are on my stick.
So for jpg and doc (open office) etc. When it came to pdf however, I was allowed only to use the sumatra on stick explicitly selecting it, but the tickbox where one can say it should use it from now always is grayed out iin this case and can not be selected. I would have to manually select sumatra each time.
Why is this so? Why can I select for jpg and doc and others some progs free but not for the pdf?

I just tried to check my email. Started Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 and it wants me to set up email accounts. It is acting like it can't find any of my settings, old mail etc.

The "prefs.js" 13kB and "abook.mab" 183kB are there

I did not re-install and setup a new account.

But we would like to get back my email and account.

Help!
Thanks

Is anybody using Thunderbird Portable inside Sandboxie? What settings do you make so that emails and installs are not lost when sandbox closes and you don't have to spend all evening clicking 'overwrite file' verifications? Sandboxie has standard settings for regular TB but TBP is invisible to it.

When I execute the Thunderbird.exe in the App folder, if I mark a mail as junk it is automatically moved to Junk, as chosen in Account settings. If I use ThunderbirdPortable.exe however, it does not.

Is this a known bug?

Setting the 'Check for new messages every X minutes' on in the Server Settings stays set while TBP is running. But, when TBP is closed and relaunched this setting is turned off.

I have two copies of TBP, my wife's copy behaves the same way.
I really need this feature, can please someone help?
Thanks

really, i am. it takes up about 500000 KB of ram to start up, and doesn't start up until like 7 minutes after i click it. it also doesnt respond almost every time i use it and it takes forever to compact folders. and im running it from my hard drive!!! its really frustrating. and its even worse when its run on my flashdrive. i have like 400 messages all in local folders, none on the server, and i use gmail. (and yes im sure i configured it correctly, for you bold enough to ask). Oh yeah....and, um....HELP!!!!!!!!!

gpg portable works great with enigmail in thunderbird.
but can i create with the portable version crypted archives over the cmd symmetrically?

thanks

When i want to check the whole Email-Header View->Header->All (Ansicht->Kopfzeilen->Alle)
I miss a scrollbar there to see the whole header. In the normal body of a message it appears normally, but in the header part its not there, nor in the message showed in the frame nor in the message displayed in a popup-window. i cannot read all, because eben pgdown or cursor keys dont help.

i dont know if i make some mistake, its a general bug in 2.0.0.18 or in the portable apps build.

thanks for helping

ps:
here i upload some screenshot for better understanding

I installed 1 account with global inbox enabled (didn't know any better), plus several correctly without it selected.

The account has been in use for some time, and I'd really like to reverse the configuration to use a separate inbox.

I tried to create a new account to get a folder where I could at least copy the files, but it tells me there is a duplicate account already setup. Even if I was able to create an account & copy the files and be able to use them, how do I get rid of the global inbox stuff??
