Thunderbird Portable

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.

"Error opening file for writing: F:\mozilla\ThunderbirdPortable\App\thunderbird\freebl3.dll"

Submitted by taa on February 5, 2008 - 10:52am

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.")

"thunderbird.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." HELP!

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!
