Thunderbird Portable

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, ....."

Error sending mail

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.

Uncompressed copy of Thunderbird Portable with Enigmail and GPG 1.5.0.9 en-us

Submitted by LynnJordon on March 3, 2007 - 5:32pm

Hello

Does anyone know where I could find an uncompressed copy of "Thunderbird Portable with Enigmail and GPG 1.5.0.9 en-us?"

When I run "Thunderbird_Portable_with_Enigmail_and_GPG_1.5.0.9_en-us.paf.exe" it crashes every time with "7z SFX has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

I had the same problem with "Thunderbird_Portable_with_Enigmail_and_GPG_1.5.0.8_en-us.paf.exe"

I think that avoiding the self-unzipping file all together would be easier.

Thanks!
