Thunderbird Portable

Was running Thunderbird on a thumb drive where Firefox is also located, but was not running. When I clicked on a link in an email in TB, it opened FF, but believe it was FF on the hard drive.

Is there a way to prevent this so that it would open FF on the thumb? (Scenario would be when on a public computer with FF and reading msgs in TB it would open the wrong program without my setup and bookmark the site.)

Presumably if FFP was always running along with TBP it would always use that running program?

Installed TBP 2.0.0.5 on U3 thumb from TBP site, not U3 site. Copied over Profile and all is fine. Except, do not have any plugins. There are 3 plugin folders:
1) TBP/app/default data/data/plugins
2) TBP/data/plugins
3) TBP/data/profile/plugins.

Folders 1 @ 2 each have one file only, ""plugins_readme.txt" which states to "install FireFox plugins in this directory."

Believe what is meant is to install Thunderbird plugins here?

Installed TBP 2.0.0.5 on thumb without running it. Then copied contents of Profile folder from hard disk. It didn't read all of the profile setup the 1st time, had several difficulties.

So deleted all TB. Then installed and ran TB on thumb. Did not set up new accounts, simply backed out. Closed TB and again copied profile to TPB/data/profile. This time all went well, Don't know if coincidental or if first starting TB makes a difference.

Hi @ all,

First and since I'm new here I like say "Respect!" and "Thanx!" to all being involved in developing this amazing PortableApps thing here.

Hard to describe HOW OFTEN this whole idea, menu and appz have been a massive help getting things done concerning job, education and home! Plus I really love this website here: clear, fast, userfriendly ... just perfect

To my question:

I have a Sandisk 1gb Cruzer U3 with Thunderbird 1.5.0.12 and can't figure out where to install Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.5 which is an executable file and not a u3p file.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, this has happened a few times to myself and others. Thunderbird has worked great for the past couple months and now all of a sudden It's lost my email. When I start up PortableApps and launch Thunderbird, it wants me to setup a new account. My mail seems to still be in the ThunderbirdPortable>Data>profile>Mail directory. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this back? The last time it happened I just reinstalled and setup my account again, but I would really like to know how to fix this.

Thunderbird portable junk controls , on of my favorite functions in this e-mail app, have stopped working. What to do? I have compacted the folders, checked in both options and accounts junk settings, even erased .msf files to no avail

what should I do?

thank you
