Thunderbird Portable

So if I have sigs and music files that sound off for the alarms, where would I put them so that when I do backups, they get saved along with it. I put the sigs in the Data folder, and I suppose I may put the *.wav files there as well so that it saves when I do a "App Data" backup?

All files and mail disappeared after an update. Can anybody suggest a recover method?
Thanks Eelco

I read a very small thread about the paths used with Thunderbird Portable, but it was from 2006, so I'm hoping some additonal information has surfaced. Using TB (2.00.12)...

Since plugging in a portable drive (USB) will not net you the same drive letter, from computer to computer, I've noticed that some stings (under about.config) do not update the drive letter to match that of the USB at the time. For example,

Mail.root.none
Mail.root.pop3
Webmail.logging.commc.FileLocation
Mail.server.server1.directory

Hey - new here. I have TB Portable on a flash drive. It works great on my laptop but when I tried to use it on my PC at work it just searches but won't download any mail. Any ideas? TIA - Kari

Hi,

I started TB Portable yesterday and it came up with the question, if I want to create a new email account. All the old ones are not displayed by TB, but are in the right folder and I did not change anything. I tried to reinstall TB Portable, but it did not work. Im lost...

Hello,

I have on my USB pen the backup data of my desktop PC. Among all folders I also have the thunderbird profile one. I'd like to use this for TB portable so I keep it synchronized with the desktop.

The folder's path looks like this:

H:\Documents\Femtotech\Thunderbird

How to configure TB portable to use this folder?

Thanks!

hi,
i have a portable Thunderbird on a USB stick in an encrypted (with TrueCrypt) area.
by removing the stick without demounting it first i damaged my Thunderbird application to the extent that all folders and all mails were gone and i was prompted to set up a new account before being able to use the program.

i wanted to deinstall TB and then reinstall it again. however, by deleting the folders most were gone, except for the Data/Profile/Mail/Local Folders/Inbox and when i try to delete these, i get the error message: Folder can't be deleted because registry is empty.

I have an inbox file that is much larger than it should be. I have tried deleting the .msf file and compacting. Also, all of my folders are stored in the same local folders, so I can't find the one that I've having trouble with in particular. Any suggestions?

Thunderbird works fine for receiving and sending mail on my home computer but I can't get Thunderbird Portable to send mail using the same computer. Both are set up identically.

Any ideas?

Using version 2.00.12

Hello!

I'm currently "tuning" my thunderbird; create a folder-structure, adding add-ons etc.
