Thunderbird Portable

Sending several copies of an email to different recipients

Submitted by laddie1997 on July 23, 2007 - 6:55am

Thunderbird Portable is fantastic while travelling.However I sometimes need to send multiple copies of a press release email, with attachments, to journalists, each addressed by name. In MS Outlook I do this by forwarding. If I forward with TB, the email is sent as an attachment, which I don't want. Does anyone know a way to send out multiple copies?

Many thanks...

Running SuSE 9.2. Installed Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.5 onto a Windows USB stick. Mounted the USB stick onto /dev/sda1, then attempted to run "wine ThunderbirdPortable.exe". This produced the following error messages:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Transfering profile and mail settings to regular TB

Submitted by darknike on July 21, 2007 - 6:37pm

Hi!

I am new to the forum and have been using TB portable for a while, and now I want to have my profiles, emails, mail settings, and address book + extensions transferred to use a regular version (non-portable) of Thunderbird.
What is the easiest way of doing that?

Any help appreciated.

Could John release Mozilla products with the autoupdates UNCHECKED by default?

I installed the latest 2.0.0.4 Thunderbird from this site, and it came with the autoupdate option already enabled. I didn't realize this until I got updated without my consent to 2.0.0.5. While nothing bad came from it, I'd rather do my updates from this site at my own demand.

Is it a violation of any of the licenses to distribute it with these options unchecked? Or maybe John could put a warning on the DL page in the section for Updating, so people know all their options.

Can I delete Thunderbird Portable files/folders from C:\ ?

Submitted by aleksy on July 18, 2007 - 7:56pm

I just downloaded the lasted version of Thunderbird Portable.
All my email and address book transferred over (whew!).

Is it safe to now delete the old version from my C:\ drive so that T/P operates only off my USB jump drive?

I have to travel more than I am home and it would help a lot if I can operate my email just off T/P on my jump drive.

Thank you to whomever is kind enough to answer this for me.

Cheers,
aleksy
