Thunderbird Portable

Portable edition vs. browsers

Submitted by molngab on March 23, 2008 - 4:28am

Hello!

My problem: in my browsers (IE, Opera, Firefox) I set up the default POP3 client: The Thunderbird (instead of the default Outlook express).
But, my settings-or the TB doesn't work! If I click on an e-mail address in a web browser, the browser start the default client-the TB-it's ok.
But, the TB don't start so, If I run it manually-the TB load a new, and leer mailbox, and ask me the account information (pop3 server name, login name, password, import of exist mailing list etc.). TB do so as a newly installed program.
How can I set the correct working of TB with web browsers?

Can't send mail from Japan

Submitted by misterz on March 22, 2008 - 3:47am

I just returned from 10 days in Osaka. I tried repeatedly to send email out from the program but could not connect with the server. I tried all kinds of configurations. I downloaded the program directly to the laptop (vs. the thumbdrive). Same result. Finally, I went to a public PC at an internet cafe. Same result. Just got home in NJ. Popped the thumbdrive into my PC. Worked fine. Any ideas? I just heard that Japanese ISP's are blocking file sharing. Any connection?

Outlook Express import problems

Submitted by fr1998 on March 20, 2008 - 3:57pm

Just to let inform every one of some problems I had today.
Having installed PortableApps for myself recently with great satisfaction, I offered to do a small installation for my wife featuring simply Firefox and Thunderbird.
Everything went well until I tried to import from her Outlook Express profile to ThunderbirdPortable.
I successfully imported the account, contacts and messages into TP and then did some housekeeping, copying messages from the old folders to the new.

Wrong date/time

Submitted by mojoe on March 17, 2008 - 1:58pm

I just started using the latest version of Thunderbird Portable. I have imported all of my email from Outlook Express. I have a problem with two emails sent to me from Project Gutenberg about a submission that I made. In both emails, the date/time display ok in Outlook Express, but not in Thunderbird. After import into Thunderbird, both emails show a date/time of: 2/6/2101 6:28 AM. I imported several hundred emails and only these two are showing the wrong date/time.

Getting mail from TB to Thunderbird portable.

Submitted by tonybeale on March 13, 2008 - 11:19pm

I am changing from an old desktop version of Thunderbird to Thunderbird Portable. Can anyone help me by advising how I can 'import' all of my old mail and mail folders from Thunderbird to Thunderbird Portable. Is there an easy way ?. Or any way ?. Right now I have all the mail and folders in a backup folder on an external hard drive (3.9GB) and I simply want to get these into my Thunderbird Portable on my USB flash drive.
