Thunderbird Portable

Hello,

I am looking for a way to change the programs that TBP offers to open an attachment with to a PortableApp.
I was searching around and just trying some placeholders for the driveletter (manipulating mimeTypes.rdf with an editor) did not work either.

Is there any way to tell TBP, that the program to be used is on the same driveletter as TBP itself (because it is a Portable App as well)? Is there any placesholder to be used in mimeTypes.rdf?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot,
Jan

Hi,

Im sorry if I asked this question again, but I look numerous of pages and I cant find the answer. And I desperately need help.

I am using vista and I follow the 'generic' guide by going to the documents & settings///xxx.default. THe problem is I only have xpc.mlf & xul.mlf to copy. So I am missing the rest of the files. But I can find them in Program File.

No matter what I do, I just cant get the portable TB to show my thousand of emails stored in my laptop TB. Please please help. I am so worn out.

Hi,

may be a silly approach. But I've tried to copy a working version of Thunderbird Portable form an USB Stick onto a local folder. Just to use alle my settings (it's only IMAP so I mean using addressboook, signature, Zertificates,...) also on my PC.

After coppiing the files over, I noticed that the German dictinary is considered as incompatibel version. Reinstalling helps, but every resynch (only the changes files and also the complete folder structure) fails with the same messaqe.
So I wounder if:
a) The German Dict. IS not Portable aware

For some strange reason now when I click on a link in an email my browser will not open, nothing happens, but this is only on my home computer. Using my portable Thunderbird here at work it works fine, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

I've just upgraded to ThunderBird Portable 2.0.0.9 on my USB key and there appear to be a few bugs.

One is a space at the bottom of the window with a line of code in the middle

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 ..
