Thunderbird 1.5 vs 2.0

Submitted by arizona480 on February 22, 2008 - 5:09pm

I've tried 2.0 before, but it lacks having the drop down view menu to the left of the the message search menu which allows you to view messages that you have "labeled", "people I know", "has attachments", "recent", etc. Is this feature actually on 2.0 but hidden or can be resurfaced with an extension?

Also, having the search field on top along with the toolbar icons limits the number of icons I can put up there (I use the lightning calendar, so that adds 5 more).

"Un-"portable the PortableThunderbird

Submitted by littleAdept on February 22, 2008 - 8:25am

Hello dear readers,

this might be a no-brainer but ... how do i reimport my PortableApps-Thunderbird-Profile into my Desktop-PC-Thunderbird-Installation?

Simply copying it over won't do any good, because the file-structure is different, right? (And the paths in prefs.js are as static as they used to be 2 years ago Sad )

Thank you for your replies!

Enigmail

Submitted by apt105 on February 21, 2008 - 6:48am

Hi all

I've been playing around with the thunderbird, enigmail and gnupg
portable setup as described on the thunderbird support page and have
found that the gpg keys are actually being stored in
%APPDATA%\gnupg rather than
..\CommonFiles\gpg\Data. Is there any way to change this?

Cheers

I can retrieve and download my mail with no problem. I can also preveiw the mail in the preview pane, however when i double click on the line of the message i want to ope, nothing happens. I can reply, forward, and reply all at which point tb opens the proper screen, but i cannot simply "open" any messages. Anyone ever had this problem or have any idea how to fix it ?

Sent, Drafts and Templates folders gone

Submitted by midaran on February 18, 2008 - 1:45pm

Hello everyone,

I have just downloaded new version of Thunderbird portable to put it on my USB drive, but after installation and after adding email account I do not see special folders like Sent, Templates or Junk.

I thought that they will be created upon first usage (first mail sent for example), but nothing happened.

Is it normal ?

Best regards
Midaran

Thunderbird Portable and CommonFiles

In my latest GnuPG Portable DevTest I have included a modified ThunderbirdPortable.nsi. I am hoping to have some of the Thunderbird Portable Gurus check it out.

quick build instructions:
1. Verify you can compile the original ThunderbirdPortable.nsi
2. Install GnuPG Portable
3. install Enigmail if needed.
4. backup your original thunderbirdportable.nsi
