Thunderbird Portable

Hi Guys,

I have recently updated the Thunderbird Portable from 1.5.0.13 to 2.0.0.12. Everything went smooth except the user preferences. So far the following problems were observed.

1) In the old version, it was set to delete mails older than 2 weeks. After the update, the setting has disappeared.

2) Header information switched to "All" instead of "Normal".

Is there a way to preserve custom settings? Can I deactivate "Find Updates" function. Previously I could do it by adding "user_pref("xpinstall.enabled", false); " in prefs.js.

TIA

Hi,
I've just started using portable apps. The problem I'm having is when I try to download my Hotmail email to the Portable Thunderbird client. I'm using the server:
pop3.live.com and am using the SSL connection type. I set it up using the "webmail account" settings in Thunderbird. The specific problem I'm having is that I get this message everytime I try to access my email through Thunderbird:

"Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop3.live.com responded: mailbox for swavcat@hotmail.com is not available."

Hello,

I recently upgraded TB on my USB Flash. I now have repeated crashes, especially when I try to access the Junk folder. I also noticed that it takes more time for TB to "build the summary" for folder I don't use often and try to access.

Has anyone encountered and fixed these bugs?

Thank you

After using a hotel’s internet service, TBP opens but does not display any folders and will not connect. Error message displays “could not initialize browser’s security component.. most likely cause problems with files in browser’s profile directory…” Going to account settings all appear to be in order.

Going to app folder, opening Data, I do not find any mail files.

Hello,

I need some guidance and hope someone is able to help me. I installed TB U3 flash drive and up until a few minutes ago, was using it without a problem.

I recently installed and ran a clean up registry program and do not know if this caused a problem with TB, but now when I attempt to open TB, I get a message saying that it cannot be restarted and must be re-installed. It then says that the program cannot be found.

Since I use TBP the same Problem:
Don't matter if I shoot down my PC or Laptop, or try to make a save release of the hardware, different files are damaged and I need to use chkdsk /f /r to repair filesystem.

The same error occours on USB-HDD with NTFS and FAT32 as well as on flash drive using FAT32.

In past i'd lost somtimes TBP system files, sometimes e-mail folders and somtimes both.

But: this error occours not, if I use TBP running on internal HDD.
(Yes, I had a lot of fun.)

Any idea????
Thanks in advance!!!

Regarding update of Thunderbird portable apps from 1.5.0.14 to 2.0.0.?my USB flash drive will not update although my "C" drive on e-mail Thunderbird is up to the current update (2.0.0.12). Would appreciate some help in this matter!!!

Hi all,

I had always been reluctant to use mail clients, but TBP made it grow on me to the point that I consider using regular TB on the side, as long as I can synchronize it with my TBP.

I tried to read all the old topics about it, so here is a short synthesis of what I learned:

- One can simply copy mails from one folder to the other if it is the only needed synch.

- But Synch_thunder is the way to go to really synchronize both.

-I've seen some other stuff, like using Toucan, but I did not quite figure out how to do it.

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?

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?
