Thunderbird Portable

Copying Certain Emails

Submitted by eltonbrad on May 12, 2008 - 11:59am

Hi,

I have been using Thunderbird Portable for the last few months, now I've installed Thunderbird (not portable) onto my computer, I was wondering how I can geg certain emails from the Thunderbird Portable folder into the local Thunderbird folder.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help me out!

Shortcut Keys for Thunderbird

Submitted by Bentoutofshape on May 12, 2008 - 9:21am

Hello,
Can anyone let me know how to stop all the shortcut keys on Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.14?
I seem to hit the control and s keys a lot meaning that the message is saved in the Drafts folder.
Since I do not use the shortcuts I would like to cancel them all or at least the Save function as described above.
thanks

Compatibility of ReminderFox with T-Bird Portable

Submitted by JonBoy on May 12, 2008 - 7:55am

I've just added Reminderfox v1.7 to T-BirdPortable (no other T-Bird on the machine) and would like to specify the start page to be the "Reminder List" as mentioned in the installation notes at http://reminderfox.mozdev.org/installation.html

I confess that I don't know what chrome is all about or how references to it should work but chrome://reminderfox/content/addreminder-dialog.xul doesn't do the business for me. According to extensions.rdf, "Options" and "About" seem to be .xul in chrome and they work OK.

How should I specify this "path" in T-Bird so as to retain portability?

Portable TB gone 4ever

Submitted by gabsanger on May 9, 2008 - 9:27am

I have been using Portable Thunderbird for almost 2 years and today it simply sottped working.

It doesn´t even start... it gives an error message that I just can´t copy.

After the crash, I copied the whole Thunderbird folder into my Desktop.

I reinstalled the Portable Thunderbird in my pen drive, and it opens ok. But I lost everything (e-mails, configurations, accounts settings,...). What folders or files I should copy back to the Portable Thunderbird folder so I can use the reinstalled program, but also with all my previous data and configuration ?

Thanks,

Corrupt prefs.js over and over again

Submitted by logisticky on May 8, 2008 - 7:17am

Here is my setup. I run Thunderbird portable off of a USB harddrive at work that I synch up with my laptop. Every so often, after a synch the prefs.js gets corrupt. I have figured out how to re-find my profile and emails so I dont lose any emails - but I have to completely re-set all of my prefs and accounts which is a HUGE pain.

Portable T-bird 1.5.0.14

Submitted by DocRon on May 5, 2008 - 7:49am

I really need to get a copy of this particular version. It is needed in a primitive area with limited computing resources. 2.0 won't run, but all 1.5 versions are fine. I understand that 1.5.0.14 was the last in the series.
Did Google, and found lots of places to get the German version... and only the German version. Interesting!!

Thunderbird crashes after flashing grey bar with red text

Submitted by newtyro on May 4, 2008 - 11:46pm

Before posting, I checked some threads ("Gray bar below status bar") that looked promising, but did not work for me. I do not have the "offline.manifest" file they recommend deleting.

Running Windows XP, Mobile Intel video, just in case. No extensions installed.

I have been able to run TBird portable in that stick. But not recently. I believe the failure comes after updating to 12.

Gray bar below status bar

Submitted by amicus on May 3, 2008 - 10:33am

Just upgraded to Portable v2.0.0.12 and have run into some sort of problem. At the bottom of the message pane there is a bar about 1 1/2" wide running horizontally above the task bar which appears to be displaying code such as:

menu id = "offlinemenuitem" insertafter = "trashmenuseparator"

It goes on like this and even after I tried a different skin, it was still there.

Any clues?
