Thunderbird Portable

Power failure = lost address book

Submitted by 1techman on May 26, 2008 - 8:52am

Hi,
I'm using Thunderbird Portable edition from a thumb drive so that I can take it with me when I travel. Both of my O.S.'s are Windows XP Pro.
The other night I was working during a storm when the power went off. Results: lost one of my address books.
I keep my contacts in different address books like Friends, Family, Clients etc. The one I was working in was Clients and now I'm in big trouble.

Thunderbird Portable 2.0.1.4 Live CD Issues

Submitted by Mikroft on May 25, 2008 - 1:51am

Hi. I'm trying to run Thunderbird Portable 2.0.1.4 in Live CD mode. I've tried with the ini many times. It works fine locally on the hard drive. But when I copy the files onto CDR with the ini file at the root folder with thunderbird portable.exe it always loads as if nothing was set. All files are burned in the exact same folder structure as it was on the hdd. Help please.

thunderbird portableapps moving, deleting and viewing mail really slow

Submitted by tolland on May 20, 2008 - 8:50am

Hi,

I have thunderbird portable running against a dovecot IMAP server on fedora core 6. It has recently got progressively slower until now its almost unusable. Initially I thought this was a problem with dovecot, so I spent some time checking dovecot performance and indexes. However I have tried connecting to my IMAP mail server using Outlook express, evolution on linux and from a Horde/IMP webmail account, and these are all acceptable performance times and it seems to be that thurderbird is the culprit.

Start Thunderbird for U3 through an external application

Submitted by amsa01 on May 19, 2008 - 8:55am

Hi
I use Adobes Lightroom to keep track of my pictures.
In Lightroom there is a solution for sending E-mails with pictures.
Lightroom therefore wants me to point out the exe-file for my standard E-mail application.
Since I uses Thunderbird for U3 on my USB-stick as my email application I tried to point that out. But with no luck
With the exe:s I tried I either I get an error message saying there is something wrong with my Thunderbird-exe or else a new session of Thunderbird starts, thinking it is the first time I start Thunderbird.

Unable to use tb at work

Submitted by tinker on May 18, 2008 - 4:40pm

After reading about portable apps in a magazine I thought I would give it a try using thunderbird portable on my usb stick. I already have tb on my main pc and am able to download messages. I used the same settings on the usb and am able to use tb portable on my home pc, but I cannot access my email at work. I'm wondering if I should have set it up on my usb differently or if it is a work access problem?

Portability with Thunderbird Portable

Submitted by QuarrellaDevil on May 18, 2008 - 3:02pm

I saw quite a few posts on a search that hovered around what I'm doing, but I'd like to describe my setup so as to get a little feedback. I considered posting this over at Mozilla, but given that my Portable Thunderbird is at the center of things, I came here. Mods, just holler if you prefer something different.

I run Portable Thunderbird on an external drive, doing most of my work from work on a Win32 system. Works great, and at home, when I'm on a Win32 system, it's just more of the same. All my mail is on the external drive, which I back up on a regular basis.
