Thunderbird Portable

I don't like the way TB opens showing my Inbox and the titles, if not the content, of all recent comms. Yes, the password is required to read stuff, but all the same an inquisitive stranger can easily see what I've been talking about, and with whom (if not what we said). How can TB be configured to be less revealing?
Thanks.

Hello everybody,

I have been (and am still!) a happy Thunderbird portable user for some time. But occasionally, Thunderbird re-downloads messages that have already been downloaded. In fact, I leave the messages on the server for security. And this happens when I copy my Portable Thunderbird folder from my PC (laptop) to the desktop at work. Therefore, I have to manually delete these messages, as they are not all duplicates (sometimes I deleted them in the client but not on the server), and it is a real pain...

Had a problem with THP and had to reinstall the program into portable apps. Initially I thought I lost all my settings and folders but found the old folders and emails and just needed to be copied to the proper diretory folder. Now I can't find my address book contents. Anyone know what file this is in? Maybe I still have it and can copy it to the proper directory. Any instruction on this would be very helpful as many of the addresses are business contacts and are not easily replaced.

Hi. I cannot seem to access my GMAIL account with my proxy settings turned on, I can however with it off. The proxy is on my network so I can change its settings. Also, the proxy does NOT block GMail. Any ideas to why this is?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had this minor issue with Portable TB. In the Junk Mail Controls setting I have selected "Automatically delete Junk Mail messages older than 1 day from this folder", but the Junk mail never gets deleted. Perhaps I am overlooking something??
Also, if I select Tools ---> Run Junk mail controls on this folder, nothing happens. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

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?

Is it posible to synchronize the Portable and regular desk Thunderbird mailboxes with a every-day, one-click tool, without copying files around?

I used the webmail extension with hotmail. worked perfectly before. but now, when I try to send a mail a window pops up with me having to write the password to username@domain.

edit: it works to get messages from my hotmail account but I can't send mail's.

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.
