Thunderbird Portable

I am using Thuderbird Portable on a USB drive that I take with me on the road and use from multiple computers. The drive letter changes depending on what is in use already on the machine. Does this present any problems with TBP or should it be the same drive letter each time. If so, what do I need to modify to change the drive letter to something else as my original install was F and I would like to make it a less common one like P or something.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm starting to use portable thunderbird and I have this question. The columns order can't be saved after I reorder them. They start always in natural order. I add new columns like size and account and when I restart TBP they are not there. The same is with message pane. I click F8 to hide it and when I restart TBP, there it is the message pane.

Why can´t TBP save the layout I made?

Thanks!

Hello,

i've "installed" TBP 1.5.5 then updated it to 1.5.7. Then I modified the configuration INI and allowed multiple instances. I can start it without any problems. When I close TBP i get following error. Does somebody have a solution. I think it has something to do with the multiple instance setting.

Thanks in advance

i request an automated reply for thunderbird , rather than i have to filter the folder to thanks a lot

TBP ver 1.5.0.5 PortableApps.com

Notified of Auto-Update.

TB incremental update failed. Then TB tried to do the full update. After 1hr. I had to shut down flash drive so I clicked hide update and then shut down TB and drive.

Restarted TB next time and ver is still 1.5.0.5 and the "Check for Updates" shows that the current update is paused and does not give any cancel or restart update options.

I know John will probably come out with a new version, but I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem or not.

I have portable Thunderbird on a USB stick; Just now after typing in my password I see at the bottom of the screeen "downlaoding 1 of 1 message" then there's nothing in my inbox; this happened on at least three occasions in the past week. The other times I had one less message in my inbox than the download messgae indicated.

Am I losing messages or is Thunderbird incorrectly saying I have messages that aren't there?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Got a notification today to upgrade to the latest version of Thunderbird 1.5.0.7. The update downloaded and then crashed while installing on the next launch. Now when I try to launch Portable Thunderbird the process runs for about 5-10 seconds and then just disappears, no error messages or anything. Renaming my thunderbird profile and trying to launch did not make any difference either.

Disk space is an important issue, especially with portable apps. Thunderbird supports a disk space saving feature but it does not seem to be working in Thunderbird Portable.

Click
Tools -> account settings

Expand the "localfolders" tree in the left pane and click on "disk space"

I tried to enable "delete all but the last xx messages" but it does not work.

I'm using tbird at work.I cannot access my new mail. I get the error message cannot connect to earthlink. I'm on a T1 ATT connection with XP Professional SP2.The default mail app is Outlook. Is there a way to configure the app to work?

Can Thunderbird be configured as a portable app for Linux?
