Thunderbird Portable

Portable TB keeps crashing when opened

Submitted by cmwatt on May 1, 2008 - 5:04am

Have been using portable TB for about a month with no problems.

But all of a sudden everytime I launch the programme it says "thunderbird has encountered a problem and has to close". This happens no matter what PC my portable WD hard drive is connected to.

The properties says I have version 1.5.1.0
But I downloaded it from the portableapps website, which says it is version 2.0.0.12 which is odd?

I have tried re-installing it over the top with no success.

Any ideas?

Referece to firefox

Edit: Since nobody is noticing this issue, and tecnicly, this is not tecnical support, but a change for an app, I decided to move it.

I think Thunderbird's launcher was based off of FireFox, as I have found a reference to firefox. Look at the readme in ThunderbirdPortable\Data\plugins. It says,

Place Firefox plugins in this directory (Flash, Shockwave, etc)

Edit: Also, the readme in ThunderbirdPortable\Data\gpg wasnt very useful.

portable thunderbird update failure

Submitted by b.ilaria on April 29, 2008 - 6:33am

Hello,

today, 29 of April 2008, I received a notification for an update and as usual I accepted. Since then, when I try to start my PT from the USB key I get this message:

"The Application of DLL E:\PrtableThunderbird\App\thunderbird\xpcom_core.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."

To me, this message is incomprehensible... can anyone tell me how to restore Thunderbird without loosing all my e-mails?

Thank you for any suggestion and help!
Cheers

Problem with Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.12

Hi all,

I've got a bit of a problem with TB Portable. After TB checks for emails on the server, I look through them and start moving them into folders that I had made for them. No matter whether I click and drag an email or right-click and go to Move To, it moves the email, but when I click on another email, TB freezes and then one of those annoying Microsoft messages come up telling you there has been an error and to either send or don't send error report.

moving TB portable from PC to PC

I use TB portable installed on my laptop in C:\ThunderbirdPortable. Sometimes I need a different laptop, so I copy C:\ThunderbirdPortable to a USB disk and then from the USB disk to another laptop (same path), so I can run TBP there.

Each time I do this, TBP rebuilds the folder index for all folders. Why? What could be different between the two laptops - from TBP's point of view - since paths and file dates stay the same?
