Thunderbird Portable

Is it possible to use PTB in IMAP mode, download all content for offline use, but *not* have it syncronize? (ie - delete from PTB any emails that have been deleted from the server?)

I have users who normally use webmail, and have created multiple folders and filters via the web interface. Now they would like to archive to PTB, and then remove the original emails from the server *without* deleting them from PTB as well.

Hi,

Some times when I start my Thunderbird Portable a message appear asking me if I want to update the apps.
Can I accept the update?

Thx

I am at a loss as to what to do here. I have found some threads on this issue but am still stuck. The email and settings etc are all stored in the default locations. The profile settings say this:

[ThunderbirdPortableSettings]
LastProfileDirectory=G:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile
AgreedToLicense=YES

I am shutting down Thunderbird Portable and then trying to safely remove the USB device. Even though I wait until the light has stopped blinking, frequently it won't let me safely remove it!

Also, when I insert back my USB device again, Thunderbird Portable have corrupted and all my mail are gone!

I suspect that Thunderbird Portable and/or another app is not closing completely so Windows XP is not capable of safely finish all its operations on the drive.

Can anybody help me with this?

I still haven't been able to get TBP working with my yahoo account. I tried it with my inbox.com email address and it worked fine.

I noticed some people in a posting said it doesn't need the extension yahoo-1-1-16.xpi. Was this for standard yahoo webmail or the PLUS! account. With/without xpi i don't seem to be able to get it to work.

I'm having trouble setting up my Roadrunner account through Thunderbird on my thumb drive. I can receive mail fine. When I try to send mail I get an error message:
Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed. Please verify that your e-mail address is correct in your mail preferences and try again.

I've double checked the smtp server. The status box shows connected to the smtp account when the error shows up. Anybody have an idea to fix this most frustrating problem?

Is there a setting in TBird portable that will automatically mark a message once I have sent a reply to it?

thanks-

Patrick

does this mess up tbird portable? is this the reason my data is disappearing when I move the drive from one computer to another?

I want to use my local tb profile & mails in tb portable, therefore I copied prefs.js, abook.mab and the ImapMail/Mail foders to the tb portable profile folder (before starting it the 1st time). But when I start tb from my removeable drive it will still use the local profile (instead of the one on the usb drive). I noticed that in prefs.js absoulte paths are used (e.g. for .server.serverN.directory) and they still point to the local mail folders. So here's my question: How can I set them correctly? If I just use "\\ImapMail\\...." it will create a mail folder in the documents & settings dir.

I did an inplace upgrade from TBP 1.5.0.9 to 1.5.0.10, and Thunderbird can no longer see my mail folders and my account settings. I opened the Data\profile folder, and I see them in the Mail subfolder, so the data is actually there.

What can I do to recover?
