Thunderbird Portable

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.

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 ?

I use PTh because I can migrate my mail from one pc to another.
NOT on a USB !!

It is my main and only mail client on a desktop.

I DO want to make it a default client.
Can you please post the trick how to do it. (no lectures about why I should not do it).
I want to HACK it !
I will pay via paypal the hacker who will post a sucesful hack.

hello everybody!
I would like to read my hotmail emails through thunderbird, but I don't know how and all the things I found with google or the forums were using old softwares that doesn't work anymore...
I'm using thunderbird portable v1.5.0.14, webmail v1.2.2b3 and webmail-hotmail v1.2.2b2...can anyone help me???

thanks!!!

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.

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!

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.

Hi:

I have a web page, who has a link that includes a MAILTO. Clicking into this link, the default email client opens a new email. Is very simple and it works succesfully in XP and 2003, because I configured Thunderbird portable as default email client.

I'm attempting to upgrade Thunderbird 2.0.0.4 (I think) to the latest version (2.0.0.9) but I'm getting this error during the install. The flash drive has 26MB free.

I have Abort, Retry and Ignore as options. Retry just keeps bringing up the same error.

Does anyone know what could cause this?

(P.S. Just noticed when I did the preview for this post that the date and time are off by nearly 40 years: "Submitted by taa on December 31, 1969 - 4:00pm.")

I just got startd on the whole portable apps thing and I love it! I mainly got it to do my email off of it. I have version 1.5.1.0 of thundrbird, and I had it running long enough to send and recieve a couple massages from my gmail. The next computer I plugged it into had the error message (the one from the subject), and now it doesn't work anywhere. HELP!
