Thunderbird Portable

Is there any way to disable Thunderbird Portable auto-update from mozilla update servers?

I had just finished installing TBP 2.0.0.16 when I start getting these popups to update to TB 2.0.0.17. I didn't update because of the problems that would cause, I just waited until TBP got updated, but I think this will cause some confusion for a lot of users. If they click 'yes', they will run into problems.

When I click on the Get Mail button, Thunderbird checks all the email accounts.
I have a few email accounts that I want to manually check occasionally.
So, I would like to disable those accounts.

I read that I could do this by creating multiple profiles for the regular Thunderbird.
But, I need to keep multiple profile directories for the portable.

Outlook Express has an option to disable checking particular email account.

Can I do the same with portable Thunderbird?

Thanks.

I downloaded and installed Thunderbird Portable on a USB stick and tried it out at home and it worked fine. But when I went to Portugal and tried it on a computer there, it downloaded my emails fine, but when I tried to reply I got an error message indicating that the SMTP connection was rejected.

So, I have installed portableapps on my usb drive. After installing I have downloaded all my emails from gmail. After this I have created folders in "inbox" because of creating of the filters. After this I have deleted 90% of unnecessary emails, but the free space on the usb drive was the same as before deleting (???). The same space after restart. My USB is in my win system H:/. In H:/portableapps/thunderbirdportable/data/profile/mail/pop.gmail.com/inbox/.. was e.g. "friends.msf" (3kB) and "friends" (640MB)even though I have all the messages in the folder "friends" deleted.

How can i put the language in spanish

Thanks
Excuse my language. I'm from Canary Islands

I've read that if you create a file named ThunderbirdPortable.ini containing "AdditionalParameters=-safe-mode" and place it in the folder containing ThunderbirdPortable.exe, that Thunderbird will launch in safe mode.

How can I confirm that it is actually running in safe mode? I thought that in safe mode the add-ins would be disabled but it seems like at least one of my add-ins, Virtual Identity, is fully functional. Thanks

I've had problems with the Enigmail extension. It says it can not find the gpg executable. I've just updated to TBP 2.0.017 so I go check for the executable and find nothing in the App\gpg directory so reinstalled the gpg for TBP and it solved the problem so I assume that the update has wiped the entire App directory before installing the new one. Is it the right behaivour or is it a bug?

The problem described in this thread was solved on 2008/11/22 with the release of ThunderbirdPortable 2.0.0.18 Revision 2

Thanks to John!

Hi there!
Today I wanted to update my ThunderbirdPortable 2.0.0.16 (german) to the new 2.0.0.17 (german) release.

First, I have no local Thunderbird installation. Second, after using Thunderbird Portable the empty folder $APPDATA\Thunderbird\Profiles\ is left behind.
The code is at the moment:

TheRealEnd:
		${registry::Unload}
		newadvsplash::stop /WAIT
		RMDir "$APPDATA\Mozilla\" ;=== Will only delete if empty (no /r switch)
		RMDir "$APPDATA\Thunderbird\" ;=== Will only delete if empty (no /r switch)

The Folder $APPDATA\Thunderbird\ will never be empty, so the last line is useless.
A solution could be:

TheRealEnd:
		${registry::Unload}

I just set up my usb with Thunderbird Mail and am trying to run two seperate email accounts on the one application. I have the first one set up and it runs perfectly. When I have the second one set up I get two messages...
first....Sending of username did not succeed when I click ok it goes away then I get Sending of password did not succeed and asks to retype my password. Back into the loop I go. I know it works and double and triple checked everything. When set up in Outlook express and did a test no problems.
