Thunderbird Portable

thunderbird to go?

Submitted by lipshtick lady on February 17, 2008 - 8:48am

hi

I have searched all over and thought Thunderbird Portable was the way to go, but now am confused.

I run Thunderbird on my office desktop computer and LOVE it - I am going to be travelling and wanted to use THunderbird portable.

But I want to sync up with what I already have on my desktop and when I return home sync again - am I off track - can thunderbord portable not be used for this use?

I already set email accounts manualy, but how to move emails? Under Tools->import
I found only other email clients like Eudora, Outlook etc.

Thanks.

WebMail needs 2.0; - NOT compatible with current Portable Thunderbird 1,5

Submitted by ggglen on February 12, 2008 - 2:36am

The main reason for my trying this thunderbird is that it is portable, and offers a quick way to get/send emails from various internet cafes. Unfortunately, current Webmail extension 1.3 can ONLY be installed with Thunderbird 2.0+. And the latest portable vers is 1.5. I searched for but could not find an earlier .xpi version of WebMail. But maybe someone could post here or somewhere an earlier webmail version which will work with the current Portable Thunderbird...? Otherwise, it seems to defeat the purpose of even using Thunderbird.

Password Manager

Submitted by PortaBert on February 11, 2008 - 9:08am

When I use the Password Manager to save the password of my E-mail account, it says that the data is stored in a file on my computer. Therefore I get the advise to use a Master Password.
I assume that the file is stored on the USB stick and not on the PC, or else it would be useless ?!
In either case, where is the file stored ?

T-bird security certificates

Submitted by palapaguy on February 6, 2008 - 8:37pm

I'm confused about Thunderbird and the way it uses vcards and certificates. I'm using ver. 1.5.0.14.

I don't see a way for the program to include my certificate public key as part of my vcard. Outlook does that, I think.

Also, I don't see how to automatically add contact info and certificate public keys from incoming email into my address book in T-bird.

Thanks for any help.

Old Emails download again

Submitted by conundrum on February 6, 2008 - 4:35pm

I am running Thunderbird Portable 1.5.0.10
Periodically, (weekly, monthly), when Thunderbird pops for mail, hundreds of previously read emails from months back will download.
I have set in my client "Leave messages on server for at most 30 days".
My email is hosted off-site. My email provider is blaming Thunderbird.
I looked through the forum and couldn't find anything quite like this. My apologies if I missed something.
Has anyone heard of this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Local Folders

Submitted by John42 on February 5, 2008 - 9:10pm

Whilst transferring e-mail messages to local folders noted that " nstmp--5" appeared, have on many occasions try to delete from my Thunderbird local files but does not appear to want to be deleted. Whilst using backup on portableapps when just about completed 78% shows an error " 7zA.exe-corrupt file" believe this may be something to do with the above. Would appreciate some help in resolving this matter.
