Thunderbird Portable

...open them in TBP!
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/5030

Anyone having problems with this update? It has auto updated itself twice now and once I try to open TB after the update, nothing happens. TB starts to open with the splash screen, the splash screen closes and that is it, TB does not open. I had to download and reinstall 1.5.0.10 to get my mail back. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

I'm presently using Thunderbird Portable to manage 4 e-mail accounts.

My problem is that all e-mails that I send have the same address as a sender.
Even if I select another address from where to send a message from, the recipient always ends up seeing only one and the same of my addresses (the first in my list that happens to be from a google account).

As a result I cannot choose from what address to sent my mails from.

Do you know what I can do to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Voiper

Can't get my TB on a Sandisk Cruizer to work through a proxy server at work. Using sky.com POP3 mail. No problem accessing it with FF, but TB connection to the POP3 server always times out. Works fine at home..
Any ideas out there??
Thanks

Hi,
I am new to this forum and have searched for synchronisation info between different instances of Thunderbird and found plenty of discussions, but I am still not clear on the best way to do it.

My train of thoughts are:
(1) I have, probably like lots of people, a PC, a Laptop, a USB Stick.
(2) The USB Stick has limited memory so should only hold the minimum of mail.
(3) The PC and Laptop have plenty of memory so can hold lots of historic mail.
(4) I should use the archive correctly and only keep a minimum of mail "active".

Mozilla Thunderbird Version 1.5.0.10 on my computer but I need to transfer all the info to my 4 gig thumb drive. That has Portable Thunderbird version 1.5.0.10 The folders are in different places. So I'm a little lost about passing the the information from one to the other. Can someone explain to me how to transfer the information step to step.

Thank You In Advance
William

I am looking for Hotmail extension for Thunderbird portable version 1.5.0

Where can I find it ?

Sorry for previous post. I'm trying to get lightning to come up as the start page in Portable Thunderbird. Shortcuts work differently than in the non-portable version. There must be an easy way to do this. It is eluding me. Any help would be appreciated.

How do I set Lightning as the start page in Thunderbird? There seems to be no option to do this.

Hi,

I'm just wondering whether it is possible to run Thunderbird portable when another (locally installed) instance of Thunderbird is running.

Following situation:
At work I use Thunderbird which runs all the time.
Now I would like to check my personal emails with a thunderbird portable installed on an USB drive.
Is this possible? Will there be any interference?
