Thunderbird Portable

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:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fixme:win:SetWindowTextA cannot set text "Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition | PortableApps.com" of other process window (nil)
fixme:win:SetWindowTextA cannot set text "Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition | PortableApps.com" of other process window (nil)

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.

At random it will forget the settings of how I have it set to sort my messages and it returns it to default, and I have it exactly opposite of default and it's driving me crazy! how to Fix? or change the default way

Thanks!

After I updated TB portable to 2.0.0.5 my IMAP4 account stops work. It says "Mail server XXXX is not an IMAP4 mail server". But version 2.0.0.4 worked fine before! Do somebody has an idea to solve the problem? - Many thanks

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.

I am not having any luck on installing Hotmail extension on Thunderbird Portable. has any one installed the Hotmail extension ? if so can you share your success?

Thanks

Hello everybody,

I am always getting NSIS Error at the startup of PTB and it does not start until i set it up once more.

I couldn't find the reason for the error.

Thanks in advance

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,

does anyone know if the 'Signature Switch' add-on is portable compatible?

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
