Indexing Portable Thunderbird

Submitted by kleinfelter on July 16, 2007 - 2:13pm

I'd like to index Thunderbird Portable with a desktop search tool. I'm willing to use X1, Copernic, or Windows Desktop Search, or some sort of Thunderbird-only indexer. (Can't use Google -- it is blocked by policy.)

When I try to tell any of these tools to index Thunderbird, they can't find Thunderbird, and they don't give me a chance to manually specify where to find Thunderbird data.

Yes, I know that portable and desktop-search sounds like an oxymoron.

Anyone successfully indexing Thunderbird Portable?

TIA

Application Name

Thunderbird Portable appears on the Menu as 'Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition' instead of just 'Thunderbird Portable'. It looks ugly, since all other applications follow the (i.e.) 'Firefox Portable' pattern.

Hello,

I replaced my 1.5 files with the new 2.0.0.4 version. It kept all the data, but I have an error message down the bottom of the interface:

No chrome package registered for chrome://messenger-offline/locale/offline.dtd .

Error: undefined entity

Line: 26, Column: 5
Source Code:

I don't have scrollbars either for the list of messages in my inbox.

I tested the setup and there is no problem sending e-mails from my thunderbird portable Gmail a/c.

However I do not receive any in my inbox whils theuy arrive in my GMail in box on my "fixed" thunderbird.

Any idea to solve the problem please?

Also, how to redirect mail from one provider/server to a GMail a/c when on holiday for example.

TBP2 on Ubuntu is slow

Hi

I'm running Thunderbird Portable 2.0.0.4 from a portable hard disk on Ubuntu 7.04 (using Wine 0.9.40) and here's the issue I'm facing:

When I first load up TBP, my CPU usage (as seen on System Monitor) goes up to 100% with TBP taking upto 30-40%. If I wait patiently, the window loads, my email downloads and then my CPU usage drops to a normal level. The cycle repeats when I click on a mail in the list or switch the folder or switch to another window.
