Thunderbird Portable

Hi,

I have been using the portable version of Thunderbird on my USB memory stick for over a year now. I typically open my e-mail from one of three computers, all of which have an active virus scan programme. As of a week ago, I cannot open Thunderbird on any computer, and can therefore no longer access my stored e-mails (I can still access my new e-mails directly from my e-mail provider’s website). Do you have any suggestions of things I can do to remedy this problem?

Thank you,
Karen

I lost the contents of my "abook.mab" I still have those in the "abook.mab.bak". Can anyone advise how to regain the lost contents of my "abook.mab"?

I made a copy of "abook.mab.bak" in another folder, change the file name by deleting the “.bak” and put it back in the “:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile” but it did not solve the problem.

Thanks, Ariel.

Fresh install of Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.9
installed enigmail 0.95.6
gpg for thunderbird 1.4.7

works as expected.

I have a copy of my gpg app dir at x:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\gpg\App
and a copy of my gpg data dir at x:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\gpg\Data

I have put thunderbirdsettings.ini into the same dir as the launcher.
I have added the following lines to the ini:
GPGPathDirectory=X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\gpg\App
GPGHomeDirectory=X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\gpg\Data

However in the gpg preferences dialog the gpg being used is still pointing to the /app/gpg copy

According the installation instruction you only need to double click on the download button and choose your drive to install onto.

But when I click on download I only get the pop up screen asking for installation, save or cancel.
When I choose for installation there is no option to choose where the program needs to be installed. It goes directly onto my PC.

But I want to install it directly onto my USB stick.

How can I manage it?

I just downloaded thunderbird portable , we are taking a trip tomorrow and I though this would be fabulous , seeing as I already use Thunderbird ... I copied all of my mail over and have used it all afternoon ... Tried moving it to a couple of different computers and it worked great ... I figured I would try it on a different service provider - When I started it -- It ask me to set up my account ... I don't know if I unplugged it to early last time .. I used it - But now it does not work on my original computer .. Please help ..

I have a few mails with jpg near 2meg in attachment
from gmail and laposte.net all the jpg are corrupted
not the good size, and when I go to the web interface
they are correct.

it's a fresh installation of thunderbird-portable on a sandisk key of 4gig,
500 meg used, the key, is new, and I have scanned it for bad sectors.

have you got an idea ?

thanks

Don't know what I did (I'm new to this) but none of my apps will run. They all open the my documents folder.

Even the suite itself wouldn't run. I reinstalled it and the menu pops up.

I reinstalled thunderbird but the icon is still missing and even trying to open some of it's subfolders call up the My Documents folder.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I have (regular) Thunderbird installed on my home (Win 98) machine. I don't use it because it's unstable on this machine (I use SeaMonkey) but it's nice to have when I need an alternate client.

I switched from the regular "Thunderbird 2.0.0.6" to "Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.6" a few months ago, then I received an upgrade notice to 2.0.0.9. I first thought it would be for "Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.6," so I clicked [YES] to upgrade, then I happened to think it might have meant for the regular "Thunderbird." I went trhough the forum to try to find out whether the 2.0.0.9 upgrade would be compatible with "Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.6," and sure enough I found some members were experiencing problems with add-ons.

when I download thunderbird for the U3 there were no tags, and now all my contact cards are gone. Am I suppose to have tags? and y did my card go away? help would be appreciated.
