Thunderbird Portable

I am loving the portable apps!! A problem that I am having with Thunderbird is that when I click to reply or just to create an email to send - The Compose window pops up but the from has "..." in it. I can put in email addresses in the "To" I can enter a Subject but I cannot do anything in the body of the email. I can't copy/paste. I can't use the controls to add a smiley. I can't get a cursor inside of the body to type anything.

Has anyone ever seen this in Thunderbird or Thunderbird Portable? Any ideas of how to fix it? I am using the latest version 2.0.0.6.

If I take longer than 5 minutes to compose an email, then the current version gets saved to Drafts every 5 minutes or so (eg this morning: 11:39, 11:44, 11:49, 11:51, ...) Even if the completed email is eventually Sent, the preliminary sequence of drafts remains in Drafts. Only emails taking less than 5 minutes to compose leave no trail.
Of course, un-Sent emails are rather usefully saved to Drafts, though it would be more convenient if one version only, the final one, was saved.

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.

I have three Pop3 accounts setup in TBP.

Is there a way to tell TBP to download all messages in all three accounts on startup?

Peter

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?

Peter

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.

First off: I LOVE Thunderbird Portable. It's the first email client that works the way I want it to. And I get to carry my mail around on my Cruzer drive.

I have downloaded all of my received messages from Embarqmail.

Is there a way to download my sent messages?

Peter

I have this problem.... The program is perfect but when i send an email, it doesn't go in sent folder....thunderbird tells me that is a problem of permission.... CAN BE???

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.
