Thunderbird Portable

having used THUNDERBIRD standard installation for almost two
years now, plenty of emails have accumulated, some folders
were created, and some adjustments were made to make it works
the way i thought it should. a few add-ons were added, too.

and once it did that, to my satisfaction, most things were just
'forgotten' - it worked the way i wanted it, most of the times.

now, for the next year, i will be on extended travel, and in
many places, i might not even have a laptop along.

the idea was to migrate whatever i can to a USB stick. on

I'm running the newest version of Thunderbird Portable with Webmail extensions to manage several accounts. Yesterday I was having problems with Thunderbird (was closing unexpectedly, etc) so I decided to do a new reinstall.

When I was trying to delete the folder from my thumb drive, I kept getting an error - couldn't delete prefs-4.js.

I ended up reinstalling over the old folder. Now I'm trying to backup my profile (simply copy to and with MozBackup) and I keep getting the same error - cannot copy prefs-4.js - file is corrupt etc.

My Portable Thunderbird (2.0.0.14) starts up with the grey screen containing: ----^

I need to move the attachment pane to the top of the viewer window

i had this in TB but cannot get it happening in TBP

I know it to do with folder locations - can someone assist?

I'm trying to get myself set up so I can work off other computers while I'm on the road. I've got TBP up and running off my USB but the account settings are hooped when it comes to the "Local Directory"

under "Server Settings": it writes in the drive letter which, of course, changes frequently as one moves between computers.

As it happens I have my TB mail in a non-standard place, namely $Drive/working/Thunderbird/Mail... but you can't specify that, the $Drive part, in the "Local Folder" field, nor simply /working/... .

Hi,

i made a brand new ubuntu system where i have now thunderbird and i want to work with thunderbird on ubuntu.

So know i want to migrate my thunderbirdportable Data into the ubuntu thunderbid.

Can someone help me how i can do this.

Till now i have copy the MAIL folder drom my stick in ubuntu thunderbird, but my profiles dont show in thunderbird.

What have have to change or copy so it work fine?

Thanks

Just in the last couple of days, when I plug my USB drive and double-click the EXE file, the dialog box is only half there. The white box where I am supposed to enter my password does not appear and the OK and Cancel buttons are both white. I have also noticed that the Get Mail button at the top doesn't appear and the menu line (File, Edit... etc) is blank. Because the "About" is not there, I can't see what version I am running.
Something is seriously screwy and corrupt somewhere but I have no idea how it happened or why.

I've migrated my email from a copy of Thunderbird on my hard drive to a copy of ThunderbirdPortable on my USB hard drive.

This installation does not seem to adapt to junk. I have to manually mark messages as junk, and it just doesn't seem to mark on it's own.

Some months ago I setup a new account using local folders, and I want to change it to use separate folders.

What do I need to do to accomplish this reversal/change?

TIA.
