Issue with thunderbird portable 3.1.10 running from a networked drive

Submitted by sched75 on June 4, 2011 - 8:26am

Hi,

I installed and reinstalled portable thunderbird 3.1.10 on a networked drive. It is not working at all. I continue to receive the message :"Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition cannot be started. You may wish to re-install to fix this issue. (ERROR: thunderbird.exe could not be found)".

Did somebody have any idea how to make it work?

Filters don't obey

Filters don't obey

Some emails goes to a folder with star and purple color tag.
I have tried to filter to another folder but don't obey me.

I observed when I create the filter from the message in the message filter window that a number appear in the name : 4,5,6......,11, etc.
Then I observed that the same filter is operated one and one more with no result because I continue receiving these emails in the same folder.

No change.

What can I do ?

I have tried to compact and repair folders with not succeed.

Best Regards

How To Thunderbird as Limited User... problematic

Submitted by Portabelly on May 25, 2011 - 10:01pm

Hello.

System: Windows XP Home

What is the proper way to install Thunderbird portable so a limited user can
use Thunderbird ?

I am experiencing the following difficulties after install as Admin, and as User.

1. Under a User account, Thunderbird will not remember 3rd party Firewall settings
(Comodo Firewall) it thinks Thunderbird is new each time. I am launching with
"Run As" administrator account.

2. If I launch Thunderbird without Run As administrator, a security warning pops up
and Thunderbird is locked.

Restart of Thunderbird internal command is ok?

Submitted by maki_33 on May 13, 2011 - 4:36am

Hi,
i know from the installed TB installation the restart option i.e. after installing a new addon. In my imagine the portableapp version could be influence the behaviour (settings will not be stored or registry entries were not removed, something like that).

So my question: Is it ok to restart TP-portable with the TB internal given command? Or should i close TB-portable compeletely and start the program again afterwards.

Let me ask a question with little overlap to Firefox-PP :). Same question about that program.

Thx in advance

Migrating from U3 to PortableApps

I have to migrate my old Thunderbird environment from my dying 8GB U3 flash drive to a new Thunderbird environment on a new PortableApps platform on a new 16GB flash drive, and I'm looking for any pointers or advice before I get started.

My old Thunderbird is no longer functional, but I have the old Data and System folders and (so far) have no reason to expect them to be corrupted.

Here's how I got to this point.

ICS attachments

Submitted by Aqualung on April 29, 2011 - 12:53pm

I receive .ics (icalendar) attachments in my Thunderbird email. How do I go about adding them to my Lightning calendar please? I tried saving them to my Desktop, and then importing, but that didn't do anything. (see also http://goo.gl/z5urw) Or is this a feature that doesn't work with portable Thunderbird?

Anyone else having this sort of issues?

(Running Thunderbird 3.1.10 with Lightning 1.0b2 in Win7 x64.)

To all of you experiencing slow performance

Sorry if this is redundant, but I think I discovered something.

Tbird on a brand new external device was extremely slow...there was atleast a lag of 2 seconds for everything. I was perplexed because this never happened on another external device.

Then I noticed the computer is NTFS format, while the external device was FAT32 format.

I formatted external device to NTFS and now its working fine.
