Thunderbird Portable

I am moving to Portable Apps since I need to keep switching from box to box and hate it when I dont see my web and my email like I see them on my lappie.
So moving to Thunderbird Portable and Firefox Portable.

Question:
After installing Thunderbird Portable onto my Thumbie (2GB Lexar), I would, obviously, need to move my settings/profile from the Local install to the Thumbie.

Would it be easiest to use MozBackup, instead of faffing around with the specific folders and files in the profile directory?

Hope someone can help on this!

I have a huge problem starting up Thunderbird Portable.

I am using version 2 and have a lot of difficulty starting the application. I have it pinned to my start menu, but it seems to take forever to load the application. How do I re-create the settings (if it is possible) without losing my emails?

Thanks

Anyone has an an idea on when you suppose Thunderdbird 2 will be released as a PortableApp?

I'm working with Thunderbird Portable, Prerelease 2, and observed something a few minutes ago when I added a couple of new accounts: Only the Inbox and the Trash folder are created, by default. If I start creating a new message and Save it, the Drafts folder is created, and of course, once I send that message, the Sent folder is created. I suppose that, if I used Templates, I could copy one of the zero byte "Templates" files from an existing account over to one of the new accounts to create this folder (which DOES have the desired effect if I do just that).

On the download page of PTB, there is a link for getting Thunderbird in other languages, which is this link here:

https://portableapps.com/support/thunderbird_portable#localization

At that location, there is a link to dowload an Aviary language pack, but I could never get to the location that the link specifies. I Recomend changing the link to:

https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable/localization

Upgraded PTB from 1.5.0.8 (?) WITHOUT enigmail/GPG to 1.5.0.10 WITH enigmail/GPG
The only extension I had (before upgrade) was SMTPSelect.

There is no OpenPGP menu item, or any indication that it is installed.

I tried renaming the PTB directory and installing from scratch, and then it's there - but now I don't have my profile and mail (I have many accounts so it'd be hard to set up again.)

Can anyone help me either activate OpenPGP, or tell me how to copy all my profile accounts and mail from 'broken' version to 'good' version?

Thanks much.

I am new to Thunderbird Portable, so this is probably a lame question!

In the full version I was able to create a .html file with my personalized signature. My .html file contains a .jpeg. I can't seem to get it to appear when I use TB Portable? Am I missing a step?

Also, I am having trouble subscribing to a newsgroup via TB Portable? Is there a trick to that too?

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to have TBP2 stop unnecessarily updating the msf files for mail boxes I do not touch???

I run TB2 at home and I use Migo Software to sync my user data to a USB flash drive and then run TBP2 from it when I am at the office. Unfortunately TB and TBP both seem to regenerate ALL of the MSF files for all of the mail folders, even if I only touched one or two folders.

This is frustrating because I have over 600 folders (10 years of email) and the sync process see hundreds of files it has to deal with each time.

If everything dissappeared, email and accounts and I wish to copy Thunderbird to my harddrive on the desktop it saids that my sent-file + some others are corrupted and can not be moved.

What can I do and how can I save my emails?

Can I rename them and try to open them in say Outlook or is there any other way??

Help, please...:(

I use PTB as my email client (from a USB Key) to have access to TB on both a laptop and desktop, depending where I am. I would like to have the right click - send to - mail recipient use PTB on Vista but it doesn't appear in any program defaults list (and there doesn't seem to be anyway to choose a program not traditionally installed) Anyone know a workaround? Can I install TB and then modify some settings so that it looks for PTB?

Cheers,
Rob
