Thunderbird Portable

I saw where someone else had a similar problem on this thread: https://portableapps.com/node/5185

When I choose thunderbird from the portableapps menu, thunderbirdPortable.exe stays in memory(processes) for a few seconds, and never loads thunderbird.:-(

There was a suggestion about the .ini file in the ThunderbirdPortable\Data\settings folder.

Mine currently says
[ThunderbirdPortableSettings]
LastProfileDirectory=L:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile
AgreedToLicense=YES

That solution, from the other thread, is already there in the .ini file.

Using Thunderbird Portable (non-beta) on both devices (before and after moving)
XP Pro, SP2
Multiple accounts, each using their own folder hierarchy (NOT in Local Folders by default, but I was sorting them into sub-folders in Local Folders)

So when I went to move my copy of Thunderbird Portable over to another drive, I did a fresh install (I don't know why I did this in retrospect, I should have just copied the whole thing over) I copied over the profile in Data\profile into the new copy of Thunderbird Portable.

1.5.0.2 installed on hard disk. ThunderbirdPortable.ini (with "RunLocally=true") added in same directory as PortableThunderbird.exe. Burnt on CD. When starting CD, I get the error message "Thunderbird is alread running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system." I restart my system. When starting Thunderbird, I get an error message (in German) saying something like "The process could not be initiated correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the process."

Thanks in advance!

When reply or replay all email, you could not COPY and PASTE the image file into the contents (HTML format).

However, if you create a new email, you are able to do so.

Could that be a bug ?

When I copy my profile from TB to PTB, some of my older read e-mails become unread in PTB. Is there maybe some setting I should be selecting or maybe I should delete some file?

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if the new Thunderbird v2 Beta has Enigmail built in? Should i wait to install this new version until after there's a separated version with Enigmail, like there is now for the regular Portable Thunderbird?

Thank you.

Hi all.
I started with Portable Thunderbird, then reinstalled Portable Thunderbird + Enigmail when i somehow misplaced my encryption keys. Does anyone have experience with this?

Scenario: I want to remove all emails from before 01012007 because my Inbox has become bloated, but I do not want to delete them permanently if I later have need for one or more of these old mails, I just want to keep them somewhere safe.

I know I can save a copy of my "Profile" folder, but if I later copy back the relevant email folder, it will delete my present email folder, so I need some form of "re-aapending" my old email folder to my current one.

I want to download to my USB drive only the messages that i'm interested; I have selected "Fetch headers only" and unselected "Automatically download messages" in the server configuration.
After downloading the headers of my new mails, I mark only the messages wich I want to download. But I don't find the button, or any menu to download the messages individually.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks

I've been playing around and may have found a way to 'use' TBP under linux. If you have TB on your Linux computer, use your TBP profile by saying:

cd .mozilla-thunderbird/
rm -rf fej2039jfladfj.default
ln -s /mnt/usb/ThunderbirdPortable/Data/profile fej2039jfladfj.default
thunderbird

The same would work for Firefox, I suppose.
there is only one catch. Don't ever EVER E V E R logout without manually saying

umount /mnt/usb
