Read Receipts

Submitted by crockfighter on March 12, 2007 - 9:26am

I have a problem where my client has asked me to change the way thunderbird handles return receipts. He is using outlook and when he receives "read receipts" from me he gets the title of the email as "return receipt". this causes a problem as the rest of his clients use outlook as well and the read receipts are automatically titled "read receipt" and are forwarded to a customised folder and mine are not.

Any answers?

TBP on/from a LAN; speed issue

Submitted by kaajee on March 8, 2007 - 7:44am

Hi,

Just 'discoverd' Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition, great app!
I was looking for something like this for a long time already. An email app which one can just move around disks/devices and where all the information needed (acount info/mails/addresses) are in the 'same spot' and are automatically copied too when copying everything!
thx!

One thing though, another way for me to use it is the following: i want to store the whole folder structure somewhere on a LAN. So that TBPE can be started from/with every computer on the LAN.

Folder being processed

Hello all!,

First, Thanks John T. Haller for the great work!

My problem:

1-) I was doing an automatic update to my Thunderbird when the computer unexpected shutdown.
2-) After that, I was unable to run Thunderbird again.
3-) So, I decide to download and install a new version of portable Thunderbird (I copied the profile from the old installed version to the new one).
4-) Now it runs fine, but I can not get my emails, I am getting the error:

"This folder is being processed, ....."

Can anyone please help me?
I have just purchased a Sandisk Cruzer Titanium USB Flash drive with U3.
I am using TBP with the Webmail extension.
My Hotmail inbox downloads without problem, and I can receive new emails. However, I cannot send new emails; I get the following message "An error sending mail. Unable to connect to SMTP server smpt.hotmail.com"
My smtp settings are:
Description: HOTMAIL
Server name: smtp.hotmail.com
Port: 25 (I have tried numerous others)
User Name: myname@hotmail.com
Secure Connection: TLS (if available)

getting my e mails from a non working portatable Thunderbird

Submitted by Goldtag on March 4, 2007 - 10:03pm

My Portable Thunderbird will not open, either from my desktop shortcut, or directly from the file on my jump drive.

I have already tried making a copy of the profile folder, and then deleting it. Nothing happens. I do get the Thunderbird Portable opening screen, and then nothing.

I thought I would uninstall the current one and then install a new download, but I dont want to loose the emails in that folder. How do I copy them or send them or import the emails into a new download?

I appreciate your help. Thanks.
