Thunderbird Portable

I have recently upgraded to the latest version of Thunderbird Portable and since then I cannot connect to my GMail or Hotmail or Qatarmail to pull my mail down into Thunderbird when connected directly to the internet via DSL in my house with my desktop pc or my laptop pc but in any internet coffee & dailup connection i have no problem.

Has anyone had this issue or is experiencing this issue.

In Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.6, when I access the following menu sequence, Tools / Import / Address Books / my only result is a dialog box with no options. No programs are listed in the "Select the program from which you would like to import" list and the only remaining option is to cancel or go back.

I have properly formatted CSVs and LDIF address books waiting in the wings but have no visible way to import the data.

I am very new to thunderbird. I guess this program is kinda nice.

I use it with webmail plugin and using pop3. I tried to use IMAP with hotmail, but I can't make it work :).

I set the program to leave message on the server until I delete them, when I delete the mail from the program, the mail is still in the email server. I thought until I delete them meant when I delete them from the program not from the email server.

After googling, I found that some say edit the config mail.pop3.deletefromserveronmove to true. However, the mail is still in the email server.

I've been a Thunderbird user for a couple of years and really like it.
My question:
Now that I've downloaded and installed Thunderbird Portable to my S.D. card, is there a way to get everything shifted over from my regular Thunderbird program?

Doesn't appear that Thunderbird Portable imports from regular Thunderbird. Any chance I can move files from my C drive?

Can't tell you how thrilled I am to have my email program on a seperate/portable drive. Really, really cool.

Appreciate your help.

Anyone else have a problem with Thunderbird crashing with a memory read error upon close? It's running on a usb memory stick and I do have an installed version of standard Thunderbird installed on the PC, running XP Pro, if that bears any relationship. I've reinstalled the app with no behavior change. Would appreciate any information out there. Thanks.

Hi,

I've been using TB for U3 without any problems but now I installed TB portable on a disk and I've encountered a problem with the filters:

When I specify custom headers to filter my mail on, and I use them, the filters are not executed. While, when using standard headings, they are.

Is there a known problem with the filters in TB portable? Is somebody else having this problem? I've posted my question to other forums and there people responded they do not have the problem...

I downloaded Thunderbird U3 and it runs fine on my XP machine. When I try to run it on a Vista machine, after asking for permission twice I get an error message saying it cant find the exe. This is a serious problem for me. The other more stupid (on my part) thing is that I set up TB to handle all my mail but made the dumb mistake of moving all my yahoo and gmail to the usb with Thunderbird and the originals were deleted. Is there a quick way of getting these back into Yahoo or Gmail (I doubt it).

Environment:
Windows XP up to date on patches
Thunderbird NOT installed
Thunderbird portable version 1.5.0.12 being used daily for email

Then:
Upgraded to Thunderbird version 2.0.06 and everything, except for the address book, got screwed up.

I followed the upgrade instructions below, as found on this site, but they seem to be wrong. This seems to be old, written for upgrades within version 1, before there was a version 2.

As you may or may not know...Qualcomm has stopped updates of Eudora....

Some of the developers of Eudora over the years are working on
an open source version of Eudora...Presently called PENELOPE...

An actual alpha of Penelope has not yet been released (Maybe a couple of more weeks).
You can however download the Penelope extension for Thunderbird to add
a little bit of Eudora to your Thunderbird now...

Download the .xpi extension here and install in your Thunderbird if you want
to have some of Eudora look and feel back...

I recently upgraded to:
T-bird 2.0.0.6 Portable.
Enigmail 0.95.3
GnuPG 1.4.7

I am not entirely sure whether this is a T-Bird problem or not, but it started after upgrading to the newest T-Bird Portable.
I have all the above on my USB flash drive.
OpenPGP preferences point to GnuPG in k:\gnupg\gpg.exe
Key manager will not see my keys on k:\ instead it is creating a new keyset in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\gnupg

I did not have this problem with previous releases.
