TBird crashes on T-one 8Gig HDD

Submitted by 3Designer on May 31, 2006 - 5:15pm

I moved my Portable Apps to an 8 GB T.One USB 2.0 HDD (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpN...) some time ago and everything seemed to work well. About a week ago, Portable TBird started to crash upon application start.

Interestingly enough, I've also installed the portable version of TB for Mac OS X, and that application still works on the HDD without crashing.

I upgraded to the newest version of PTB, I downgraded to an earlier version, and finally I installed to the 1 GB Thumbdrive I used to use my portable apps on (but moved to the HDD for space and worry of flash drive fatigue) and everything runs now.

Can't install themes and extensions :(

Submitted by HolyMurderer on May 30, 2006 - 3:30pm

Hi there!

My latest portable Thunderbird has a big problem. I cannot install any theme or extension. I use Windows XP Pro SP2, but it happens on all computers I have, even in Linux one, using the profile I use in windows. If I drag & drop, or click install and select xpi or jar file, the theme/extension window remains blank... what can be causing this?

Any idea?

Thanks for your time.

RSS Feeds taking too much space

Submitted by itfanaticus on May 30, 2006 - 1:37pm

What are the steps to take so that my RSS feeds don't take too much space on my thumb drive? Right now, I think they take 34MB (I have 256MB and running out of space).

I had selected the option "delete messages that more than 2 days old", but that didn't affect the footprint it had on my thumb drive.

PGP-Problems

Submitted by martin2 on May 27, 2006 - 6:09pm

Today I have installed PTh+enigmail+GPG 1.5.0.2 on USB/1GB/truecrypt.

Mail works fine. But only without encryption.

1) error: iconv.dll not found. Ok, no problem. iconv.dll downloaded and put to ..\PortableThunderbird\App\gpg - works fine.

2) error: encryption command failed
gpg: skipped : Secure key not found
gpg: signing failed: Secure key not found

I have found no way to solve this problem:
mail@domain.de, pubring.gpg, secring.gpg, trustdb.gpg are all in ..\PortableThunderbird\App\gpg - as described in "gpg_readme.txt".

What should I do?

Thanks, Martin

DomainKey Failure

Submitted by guidojones on May 25, 2006 - 5:29pm

Using TB 1.5.0.2 I can send an email through my server, where it has domain keys sign it. On the receiving side, the keys verify.

Using Portable TB 1.5.0.2 (with and without GPG support) the email is sent, however the DomainKeys fail verification on the receiving side.

I am still working on a way to determine what is different as a visual look at the headers doesn't reveil anything.

Ideas ??

Thanks

- Ken

Follow-Up: Upon further investigation, this is an issue with the domain keys package, and not thunderbird.

Help needed - upgrading to Enigmail/GPG edition

Submitted by walts on May 25, 2006 - 9:57am

I have Portable Thunderbird running on my USB drive, and have Enigmail and GnuPG working fine with it. Problem is, if I take it to any other computer than the one where I originally set it up the GPG stuff doesn't work.

I downloaded the new edition with Enigmail/GPG support, but the directory structure is totally different, and the help.html file does not seem to address the new structure. I need help in importing my mailboxes, address book, and keyrings.

TIA

Walt
