Thunderbird Portable

Importing Outlook Folder

Submitted by ggrosser on June 17, 2008 - 7:55am

When I initially installed portableapps on my thumb drive I was able to import all of my info from my outlook express program. When I upgraded to the new version of TBP there were some issues that came about. Now, long story short, I still have the folder with my saved outlook express mail, but I can't get TBP to show the folder so I can access the messages. Would anyone have any suggestions how I can go about getting TBP to show the folder.

Thanks!

tb takes more and more space on my usb stick - deleting e-mails without effect

Submitted by willisuper on June 16, 2008 - 3:18pm

I use tb 2.0.0.14 on a 2 GB USB Stick with Windows XP and Windows Vista.
In only some weeks the datas of tb got so much, that I had to delete some other folders on the stick. But now, again after only some weeks, there are only left about 45 MB space on the stick. I deleted many E-Mails, some with big attachments - but it didn't have any effect. I have the impression, that in about two weeks the stick is again totally full. What can I do?

Status Bar Stats: Show Message Character Length - Exists?

Submitted by sugardaddy on June 10, 2008 - 3:06pm

Is there a plug-in or feature in existence where I can see how many characters are in the message I'm composing?

They could go so far as to show total chars, and just the chars on the current line (with position) as well. But that may be wishful thinking.

The reason I'm wanting this is that I often use Tbird to send text messages to cell phones. I want to keep under the character limit.

Lightning: Accepting invitations

Submitted by PollieXmas on June 9, 2008 - 7:28am

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure if it is already logged as a bug (with mozilla) but there seems to many posts on different forums about the fact that accepting email invitations in TB does not work when hitting the "accept" button.

What worked for me is to simply drag the .ics attachment onto the calendar pane on the right-hand side. The appointment then pops up and you can then save it. (It does not always seem to work the first time though...)

I use TBP 2.0.0.14 and lightning extension 0.8.

I hope this helps.

Regards
Paul

Start TB with parameters?

Submitted by atreiju on June 8, 2008 - 1:27pm

Hi,

Another question by me:

Can i start Thunderbird Portable with command-line parameters? I want to create a shortcut, which open Thunderbird directly in Calender-View (Lightning extension).
According to the FAQ it should be something like:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -calendar

I tried that with the ThunderbirdPortable.exe, but I didn't succeed.

Any ideas?

Thx, atreiju.

Compatibility with Desktop Search Engine?

Submitted by atreiju on June 7, 2008 - 4:53pm

Hi,

This could be a little bit off topic, but i thought maybe someone here can help me with this:

I'm looking for a Desktop-Search engine, which is compatible with Thunderbird Portable (so it can index emails and adressbook).

I've tried Windows Desktop Search with the old addon from citeknet.com, I've tried Copernic Desktop Search and Google Desktop. But nothing worked.

Does anyone know, how to get this done?

Thanks! atreiju
