When I try to send a reply message while using thunderbird in portable apps, it comes up with error and no can do message?? Any ideas??
I'm using Thunderbird Portable while my main computer is being fixed. It's worked fine for weeks now -- both on XP and Vista. I'm currently running on a machine with XP Pro.
Today, I opened up the application, and my profile was GONE. The app wanted me to create a new email account. I have the profile folder and all seems fine, but it's just not reading it.
What can I do to fix this?
I use TB on desktop + laptop, and installed it on a USB-stick that came with the U3 system for portable applications.
I liked that, but decided tu use the more open system "Portable Apllications".
Firefox worked immediately. Thunderbird can be started, but on creating the accounts nothing is saved, the row of mail accounts stays completely empty...
What now?
Hello,
it's the second time that my complete Adress book is damaged.
That means, that I can't see any adresses anymore and that TunderbirdP has created a file called abook.mab.bak which can't be imported.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,
I use standard thunderbird for work and thunderbird portable for personal use in the same PC.
When I want to compose a mail with a file, for work I use:
right buttons --> send to --> mail
If I want to make another shortcut for personal mail, how can I make that?
I try to use the command line option to thunderbird portable as that:
\thunderbirdportable\app\thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -compose
but it open a compose mail for work account...
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
I notice that you provide a link to 3 older versions of Firefox Portable for use by folks using older equipment, and for diagnostics.
Considering there is a lot of interest in Portable T-bird 1.5.0.14, and almost no place to find it, how about some old version links here?
I love FileHippo's way of posting the very latest, and still making every past version available. PortableApps would get a lot more following if you did the same.
Hi,
I've been a user of portableapps for about 3 years and never had a problem with any of the software; in fact it's been absolutely lifesaving for me.
What happens is that i was just now trying to get TB portable to work on my new tablet pc and it gives a message like: "couldn't initialize browser's security component. Most likely cause is problems with the files in your browser profile's directory..."
Setting up Thunderbird Portable for the first time, i've got 2 Gmail accounts, i've got them set up as they should be (use standard TB at home) but the connection keeps timing out. never makes it to ask for a password or anything, so i don't know what's wrong...
when using Thunderbird portable I have the same messages listed more than once.
Also, some messages are on top of others making it impossible to read.
This only happens on my Dell laptop with USB 1.0. On all the other computers I use it displays correctly.
Any advice?
Hallo, how I can tell Thunderbird Portable to open links in Firefox Portable? How to force Thunderbird to handle "http" with an application I wish to use instead of system default one (if I do not want to change system settings)?
