Thunderbird Portable

connection to servers

Submitted by nocuteusername on November 1, 2007 - 3:58pm

Hello everybody,

I just installed TB portable on a USB memory device, so I can use it on different computers I work on. I got it going on one computer that is connected directly to the internet (without proxy), and it works flawlessly there.

Please type in your OpenPGP passphrase...

Actually I would rather not.

When I was setting up TBP I let it talk me into having a PGP passphrase. Unfortunately I used a very long one. I didn't realize I would have to type this thing in so often.

Right now I uncheck 'Sign Message' under OpenPGP and it stops bugging me for a while.

How can I make it go away?

IMAP with TBP

Submitted by PilotBill on October 29, 2007 - 2:07pm

Any thoughts on IMAP versus POP with TBP, a question I am asking because Gmail now offers a choice? I want to use the best, most reliable protocol but the advantages of IMAP seem moot if you’re using a portable email client. Furthermore, would I be giving up offline accessibility?
Thanks, Bill

AVG free version detected AZB startup page trojan for several days when I opened and closed Thunderbird Portable on PC. Write function no longer works. AVG no longer detects trojan. I have no other problems with my PC, just with Thunderbird Portable. I have reinstalled latest version, but it does not solve the problem. I do not want to switch email programs. Any advice? Thank you.

Today's virus definition file (5150) for McAfee VirusScan detect registry.dll as a "Generic StartPage.r" when I start Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.6; I'm pretty sure it's a false detect, I'll submit the case to McAfee and keep everyone posted here...

NB : I might forget, so if someone faster than me has info, please feel free to update this thread.

Old Mailboxes

Submitted by rage6839 on October 24, 2007 - 1:32pm

I recently had to reinstall portable thunderbird but now it doesn't recognize my old mailbox, two in particular from friends and important messages. Is there any way to see the messages? Thanks
