Thunderbird Portable

I use Thunderbird Portable when travelling, and it occurs to me that it would be quite convenient for me to put the chip with my profile into my palm Tungsten E and let VersaMail access my email. I see no import or export features that will let me do this.

Is it possible? (It would be a darn sight easier than copying each Email into a Word document, saving it onto the chip, and then reading the chip in my palm from DocsToGo).

I have only recently started using PortableApps and I'm quite satisfied, so I'm not really sure if this problem is just with the PCs I plug into but, here it goes:

I just tried to check my email. Started Thunderbird and it wants me to set up email accounts. It is acting like it can't find any of my settings, old mail etc.

Looked under the profile folder and there is no file "profile.ini".

Also, there is no user or default user folder. just the profile folder,then extensions, mail and webmail folders underneath.

If I look under the profile/mail folder, it looks like all my stuff is still there, I just don't know how to get Thunderbird to start using it again.

Help!
Thanks

I have a sandisk cruzer with U3, I have been attempting to get thunderbird to work with my hotmail. the webmail ext. will only work with 2.0. I couldn't get it to work.
I put thunderbird 2.0 on a regular thumb drive and it works with hotmail.

Is there any way thunderbird for my U3 can be updated to 2.0?

I really need it.
thanks

I am trying to use thunderbird's address book with an Exchange server via LDAPS.

The problem is that no matter what I do, it ignores the port I set (3269) and uses either 636 or 389 seemingly at random. Yes I am saying that even when I check ssl and it autoconfigures to 636 it sometimes still tries to connect to 389.

I have tried deleting the ldap directory settings and creating new ones to no avail.

Any ideas?

When I run Thunderbird portable the McAffee systray icon turns red and says a message has been added to the protection log. Every time I open it about five lines like the following one appear in the protection log:

Hi,
When I connect my flash drive to a computer at work I have no problems, but on my laptop at home I get this error: "could not connect to mail server, connection was refused". What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I bought a new USB drive (Verbatim Store 'n' Go 8GB) and copied my Thunderbird Portable folder onto it. But the program usually won't load first time, coming up with an error message. Now, if I keep trying it will eventually load, but not the next time. If I copy the folder to an old USB drive it works first time. If I copy the folder to my desktop - it works first time. If I copy it to the desktop of another computer - it works. So presumably this has to do with the USB drive, but can anyone suggest where I can look to find out how to fix it, please?

I had a corrupted PTB database. I restored all but my inbox (I tried copying the inbox to the local folders directory but was blank). Now I want to try and download emails from gmail between certain dates. How do I do this? is it a Gmail functionality? or PTB?

PS What's the best way of backing up your profile?
