Thunderbird Portable

I work in Taiwan, so I often get emails with traditional chinese characters. When I use Thunderbird on my laptop (the regular one), they appear just fine. I've just put Thunderbird Portable on a removable disk and copied my entire profile over so I could use it on my desktop. Now those emails are no longer in chinese, just gibberish, like:

�@�B��Q�|�ɶ��G96�~10��19��W��8�I30�ܤU��2�I40��
�G�B��Q�|�a�I�G�n�}�޳N�ǰ|��ؼӤT�ӲĤG�|ij��

I get that this is some sort of FAQ.

I have several folders that are very large with lots of old sent emails. I have deleted files in them WITHOUT DOING THE COMPACTING (only learned of this recently). Now as far as TB knows the entire FOLDER is empty - it still reads as 469MB (yes, it's big).

I have deleted the msf file and let TB rebuild it and still no go.

I tried to use AID4MAIL which got most of the way through it and found some sort of email delimeter missing - so I am getting the feeling that the file is really SNAFU'd

Any thoughts?

I installed my tb portable on my flash drive and it is working well on my home pc but on my office pc it doesn't work and i get the error message" ....time out", any one can help me....
thanx

Hi,
I've been using Thunderbird Portable for about six months and really dont know how I lived without it but:
Having filled my favorite memory stick up I have copied the whole thing across to a bigger one and now thunderbird comes up with a bottom panel with:

menu id="offlineMenuItem" insertafter="trashMenuSeparator" label="&offlineMenu.label;" accesskey="&offlineMenu
And the view panel no longer wraps properly.

Any suggestions what I have done wrong?

I'm in XP at the moment but have never had any problems even with Vista

Thanks

I am a new user of the lightning and thunderbird portable.

I would like to know if it is possible to use the tasks like MS Outlook, so if some one create a task and inform the it is for some one else, the othe person receives an emal, with the tsk and the task go direct to the person tasks.. And as the person insert informatio to the task the other one receives updates...

I would aolso like to know if i can exchange tasks betwin Lightning and Ms Outlook

I am using t/bird 2.0.0.6 and word wrap is not working.
It is set to 72 characters - default.
Any suggestions to overcome this please.

Hello,

after using Thunderbird Portable under XP Professional for a few month without any problems, I ran into some SERIOUS trouble now. I had one obsolete POP account that I deleted the usual way (Tools > Account settings > Remove account). I'm not sure this is the cause of the problem, but I have no idea what else could be.

After that, TP refused to start again. I.e. it starts showing the splash screen and terminates after one or two seconds without even showing the main window. It also disappears from the Taskmanager.

Hi!

I have the same problem as described here:

https://portableapps.com/node/490

I'm using portable version 1.5.0.10 and just got an update notice for version 1.5.0.13. A check on the Portable Apps web site has no version 1.5.0.x on it, let alone the 1.5.0.13.

It's not clear to me, if I can update online or must update via a portableapps download. If the latter, is there somewhere to get the portable version?

Thanks, Emil...

Hello All,

I was just wondering about, when there is an update for Firefox, Sunbird or Thunderbird should we use the auto update feature of the application itself or download the 'new' portable version from the portableapps.com website?

With greetings,
Eddie.
