Thunderbird Portable

RSS feature not showing pictures

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on March 29, 2006 - 9:05am

Some RSS feeds that I have added in Portable Thunderbird will not show at all and some web pages will only display text and not even the web site graphics while my regular Thunderbird shows the pages correctly on the same RSS feeds. Is this an issue with PT or is it just an option that I am missing?

clicking link in Thunderbird causes new Firefox profile to be created

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on March 27, 2006 - 6:25pm

How do I get Portable Thunderbird to always launch the existing Portable Firefox rather than trying to create a new non-portable Firefox profile each time?

I run Portable Thunderbird & Portable Firefox. When I click on a link in Thunderbird AND I have Firefox running everything works as it should. However when I click on link in Thunderbird and Firefox IS NOT running, it causes an error message.

Invoking PortableFirefox through Portable Thunderbird ??

Submitted by allen-1 on March 25, 2006 - 5:53pm

I'm running PortableThunderbird 1.0.7 on a USB 512mb memory stick. Along with that app, I've got PortableFirefox installed on the same device.

Both run fine, and I can move the memory stick from machine to machine and keep my application data/environment consistent. Which saves an incredible amount of time and effort on my part as I move around.

The only thing I haven't been able to figure out, (so far), is how to directly invoke PortableFirefox from a link contained within a message I'm reading in PortableThunderbird.

When I mouse over the link, it displays correctly in the status bar. If I copy/paste the link PortableFirefox finds it, but I can't simply click, double-click, or right-click on the link and have PortableFirefox act on the URL.

Local Folders

I have imported my settings from the Thunderbird of my Descktop (coping all the files of my profile in Desktop PC to the profile directory within Portable Thunderbird). I have configurated in my Portable Thunderbird new "Local Directories" for the mails of all my accounts (I have 7 accounts). But I can't do it with the "Local Direcory" for "Local Folders", it remains allways the same: "C:\Documents and Settings\...\Local Folders". I wnat to have a "Local Directory" for "Local Folders" in the Pendrive, "E:\...\Local Folders". Any special to do? Thank you.

Autorun Thunderbird?

Submitted by Danw on March 23, 2006 - 4:37pm

Does anyone know how to make Thunderbird startup automatically when the USB drive is plugged in? I don't want to install any programs on my work computer, and that is where I mostly use it.
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Profile Path

Submitted by dancerstl on March 21, 2006 - 9:34pm

Is it possible to set up the user profiles outside of the program file directory structure? For example, the path to the program is:

    F:\PortableApps\PortableThunderbird

I would like to set up a common area for my profile information on the same drive, but not under the program directory so that the data and settings wouldn't be inadvertantly erased in an upgrade or recovery. The path would be something like this:

    F:\ProfileData\Thunderbird\Profiles

Individual profiles could then be added below that directory as needed. So, is it possible to set up a relative path in the configuration file to correctly point to this directory? Perhaps something on the order of:

Portable Thunderbird won't load calendar ext.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on March 19, 2006 - 4:09am

I have successfully loaded Portable Thunderbird and Poratble Firefox. Thunderbird won't install the Poratable Calendar extension. I get the message "Can't install Calendar: invalid install program". I tried different links, and the only way I could get the calendar to install was in Portable Firefox. I'd rather have it in PTB. Any ideas?

Thanks.
