Thunderbird Portable

I have a sound I like to set for the new message notification in Thunder Bird. In TB options I just set it to use the sound. On my normal install this is no problem. On portable TB I set the path to the file but the drive letter will change depending on then machine I am on. So if I set the path as F:/Documents/gmail.wav it doesn't work if I am on a machine that designates my thumb drives as another letter other than F. Is there a way around this?

Now that I'm becoming an old fart, I can honestly say that I'm damned impressed with what you kids have put together. You can't see the change from my perspective so you'll have to trust me; you're doing a great job.

I've had nothing but good experiences with the suite until I recently upgraded Thunderbird.

Now, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't jump on me to RTFM lest I jump back and all hell breaks loose. No one wants that.

The thing is, everything was going just fine with PortaBird until I recently upgraded.

I set the portable thunderbird as my default email client. When I click on an email link on a web page (Firefox 2.0.0.10), Thunderbird launches as expected, but it also activates the new account setup wizard, which closes Thunderbird unless I go ahead with creating a new account.

If Thunderbird is already launched before I click on an email link, then I don't get this problem.

The guide on this link in the support section does not work:
https://portableapps.com/support/thunderbird_portable#local_profile

I have two profiles in regular thunderbird and they both have the names
XPC.mfl
XUL.mfl

They are in separate folders. When I copy the contents of one .default folder into the profile folder in Thunderbird Portable and then open THunderbird portable program, there is no profile there.

How do I resolve this? Thank you,

I'm new to PortableApps and I love 'em.

Set up TBird and copied my profile from Thunderbird to PortableTB. When I restarted PortableTB I noticed two problems.

First, there is a red message at the bottom of the Thunderbird window - menu id="offlineMenuItem" insertafter="trashMenuSeparator" label="&offlineMenu.label;" accesskey="offlineMenu.accesskey;"----^. I have no idea where to start looking for the problem.

Lads, just upgraded to the latest version and now I ran into the following error:

haven't got a clue what is causing this, any idea's?

Tnx

I've been having that problem for weeks. I've lost my Inbox emails 4 or 5 times already. It just shows me all of a sudden an empty Inbox..... and all my e-mails dissapear

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

I know I must edit some registry keys of windows xp to set my thunderbird portable as the default email client, but i don't know what keys I must edit. The path is D:\Thunderbird Portable\ThunderbirdPortable.exe
What can i do?

I'm running Thunderbird portable and Firefox portable through a Proxy-Server, which requires a user-ID and password on every internet access. Firefox does this perfectly, Thunderbird doesn't do and only returns "failed to connect to pop3 Server". Is there any way to adjust this with about:config?
Thanks for help.

Hi,

I migrated recently from portable Thunderbird by Framakey (Let's call it A) to the same by PortableApps ( as B).
The only way I found to keep my profile was to copy the whole previous profile folder from A to the profile location in B.
I now run B fine, except that I'm unable to set new user account. I can open the Account settings, but cannot validate my choices (the OK button doesn't answer, but the cancel is OK) and therefore set any new account or changes to previous account.
