Thunderbird Portable

I do not know, if it is a feature or a bug: I have several address books in my Thunderbird. When I organize my addresses and drag and drop a contact from one addresbook to another, it copies it instead of moving it. It works normally ( move ) on my not Portable Thunderbird.

Another question: Is there a way ( add on ? ) to make a search in more than one addressbooks ? ( the search looks only in one addressbook, and I would like to make the search through all of them )

I use thunderbird portable at home without problems. At the work, however, is running a server exchange. I'm able to recive personal mail but i can not send. I can not set the SMTP server output. What should I do? TBP works with exchange server? I've tried to add a new server smt in the account settings.

Hello,

I am looking for a way to change the programs that TBP offers to open an attachment with to a PortableApp.
I was searching around and just trying some placeholders for the driveletter (manipulating mimeTypes.rdf with an editor) did not work either.

Is there any way to tell TBP, that the program to be used is on the same driveletter as TBP itself (because it is a Portable App as well)? Is there any placesholder to be used in mimeTypes.rdf?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot,
Jan

Hi,

Im sorry if I asked this question again, but I look numerous of pages and I cant find the answer. And I desperately need help.

I am using vista and I follow the 'generic' guide by going to the documents & settings///xxx.default. THe problem is I only have xpc.mlf & xul.mlf to copy. So I am missing the rest of the files. But I can find them in Program File.

No matter what I do, I just cant get the portable TB to show my thousand of emails stored in my laptop TB. Please please help. I am so worn out.

Hi,

may be a silly approach. But I've tried to copy a working version of Thunderbird Portable form an USB Stick onto a local folder. Just to use alle my settings (it's only IMAP so I mean using addressboook, signature, Zertificates,...) also on my PC.

After coppiing the files over, I noticed that the German dictinary is considered as incompatibel version. Reinstalling helps, but every resynch (only the changes files and also the complete folder structure) fails with the same messaqe.
So I wounder if:
a) The German Dict. IS not Portable aware

For some strange reason now when I click on a link in an email my browser will not open, nothing happens, but this is only on my home computer. Using my portable Thunderbird here at work it works fine, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

I've just upgraded to ThunderBird Portable 2.0.0.9 on my USB key and there appear to be a few bugs.

One is a space at the bottom of the window with a line of code in the middle

Hi,

I have been using the portable version of Thunderbird on my USB memory stick for over a year now. I typically open my e-mail from one of three computers, all of which have an active virus scan programme. As of a week ago, I cannot open Thunderbird on any computer, and can therefore no longer access my stored e-mails (I can still access my new e-mails directly from my e-mail provider’s website). Do you have any suggestions of things I can do to remedy this problem?

Thank you,
Karen

I lost the contents of my "abook.mab" I still have those in the "abook.mab.bak". Can anyone advise how to regain the lost contents of my "abook.mab"?

I made a copy of "abook.mab.bak" in another folder, change the file name by deleting the “.bak” and put it back in the “:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile” but it did not solve the problem.

Thanks, Ariel.

Fresh install of Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.9
installed enigmail 0.95.6
gpg for thunderbird 1.4.7

works as expected.

I have a copy of my gpg app dir at x:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\gpg\App
and a copy of my gpg data dir at x:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\gpg\Data

I have put thunderbirdsettings.ini into the same dir as the launcher.
I have added the following lines to the ini:
GPGPathDirectory=X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\gpg\App
GPGHomeDirectory=X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\gpg\Data

However in the gpg preferences dialog the gpg being used is still pointing to the /app/gpg copy
