Thunderbird Portable

Copy prefs.js from local TB to Portable drags old paths

Submitted by keepplugging on September 8, 2015 - 1:53pm

After installing Portable Thunderbird, I followed the instructions under Copying Your Local Thunderbird Settings (https://portableapps.com/support/thunderbird_portable#installing) to give Portable TB the environment I had been using with non-Portable TB. Of course, I copied my non-Portable prefs.js file along with everything else.

Email and Newsgroup account dialog mystery??

Submitted by jamesd1 on August 28, 2015 - 6:28pm

I have Thunderbird Portable and Firefox Portable set up and working. When I click on an email address in a web page, instead of opening a new email in Thunderbird as I expected, it brings up a dialog asking me to set up a Newsgroup account. What???

I just want to send an email from my Thuderbird Portable email.

Can't send mail with TH 38.2

After updating from 31.7 to 38.2 Thunderbird Portable, installed locally on a HD with Win7 Pro, I could not send mail through an external server. I was able to receive mail through the same server. When I downgraded back to 31.7, I was again able to send and receive mail.

On trying to send mail, I got an Alert box that said:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Administrative Prohibition. Please check the message and try again.

Download link for 38.1.0 on main page might be wrong?

The download link on https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable that points to https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/ThunderbirdPortable_38.1.... doesn't seem to go anywhere. I initially thought it was due to script blocking addons in my FF install so I tried it in Google Chrome which doesn't run with any addons and it behaved the same.
