Thunderbird Portable

Connecting to GMail

Submitted by kcymp on November 14, 2007 - 9:15pm

I recently installed TB portable on a USB drive. I set it up to connect to a GMail account. When I start TB portable, it tries to connect to pop.gmail.com, but the connection always times out. When I use the normal versin of TB installed on my laptop, it connects to GMail without problem. How can I make the connection smoothly with TB portable?

Run Thunderbird e-mail through SSL VPN

We are trying to launch PortableApps suit (specifically Mozila Thunderbird e-mail version 2.0.0.6) from USB thumb drive over Juniper's SSL VPN. We connect through SSL VPN utilizing Juniper's Secure Virtual Workspace (SVW) mode (SVW creates a protected workspace on the user's desktop, encrypts information that applications write to disk and then destroys all information pertaining to itself).

Since the recent updates it no longer works

If you have the version would it be possible to send me a copy please?

I know perhaps this is not the correct place to post this but i have looked eveywhere and would really appreciate this

Thank you

Couldn't see some attachments from OE

Hi, recently I try Thunderbird Portable, it's great Biggrin but I have a problem with some attachments envoys from Outlook Express. It's doesn't appear, but if I "save as" the mail, and open the saved mail with O.E. I can see that the attachments are OK. Same mail in the icedove (ex-Thunderbird) of my Debian SID GNU/Linux are OK.

Normal version of Thunderbird and the Portable Apps version.

I would like to download some themes for my Portable Apps. Thunderbird, but I have version 1.5.0.13. The two themes I wanted only work for 2.0 and 2.0.0. I was wondering whether if I downloaded the newest 2.0.0.6 version from here, would it support those two themes?

If not; could I download the normal Thunderbird 2.0 version in place of the Portable Apps. version? If I replaced the Portable Apps. version with the normal version, would I still keep all of my emails?

No connections access in portable Thunderbird

Submitted by johnbrainerd on November 7, 2007 - 12:38pm

I have portableapps along with portabletor. Firefox works fine with Tor, but Thunderbird does not. In TB under Options| Advanced, there is no "Network & Disk Space" tab. The tab is called "Offline & Disk Space" and thus there is no way to set the connection settings to manual proxy configuration. Is there a work-around for this?
