Thunderbird Portable

[MODERATORS NOTE - This topic is a duplicate by the same author. The discussion should be carried on in the original topic. Posting duplicate topics or bumping your own is not permitted.]

I've posted on this before and John H was helpful in providing some ideas. My TBP still seems very slow opening emails. I'm wondering if it is just my hardware. Here's some info:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+
1GB Memory
Windows XP SP2
Profiles folder is about 600MB

I usually have Firefox open with TBP.

With them both open, my CPU usage is 5% or so. When browsing with Firefox, it may go to 30-50% and have 100% peaks, but you can still move around.

Are there any plans to make a portable version of the above mentioned program?

I've installed PT on my USB. I configered my account but my mail account needs a password to access.

By example:
server: mail.domain.com (ok)
username: name@domain.com (ok)
password: xxxxxx (WHERE TO ENTER??)

Please help..

Regards

I am shutting down Thunderbird Portable and then trying to safely remove the USB device. Even though I wait until the light has stopped blinking, sometimes it won't let me safely remove it!

I linked this to an appplication called ObjectDock. If i close that, then i can remove the device.

BUT, when i then shutdown my computer straight after, i get a Dr.Watson error message or something - it happens too quick for me to see what it is.

Even more of a problem is the fact that when i load up Thunderbird Portable again, some of my messages have corrupted and are lost! Luckily, the program just downloads them all again from the online server (i never delete the online storage), but obviously all the junk comes through too.

I've been using tbp for about 15 months from a portable hard disk at various sites. I also use ffp, xplorer2 and pstart, and I keep a couple of utils on there even tho' they are not strictly portable. I use the MrPostman to gateway into hotmail & yahoo. As long as I've used tbp I've always had to run it twice, sysints processexplorer and taskmanager always report the first instance as consuming 90%+ of the cpu cycles.

Why has it taken me so long to report - functionally it works fine, and even tho its a cpu hog, the OS is able to give other apps a reasonable slice of the action. I'm using 1.5.0.8, I tried v 2.0 beta but had problems so reverted to release version. Not sure what version of tbp I started with, whatever it was in about May 2005. I'd like to know if I'm the only person to experience these behaviours. The cpu hogging is apparent whether or not one is on or off line.

hi i have a Transcend 4GB flash drive which i have installed thunderbird v1.0.5.8 to, and it downloads mail with no problem, but when trying to view the mail all i get is a list of servers that it has gone through to get to me(well my address) any ideas on how to fix this or any reason for y it would happen???

cheers

Email content's image (not attachment), when you right-click on the image, there is an option "Save Image", it DOES NOT work at all.

I wonder why it's being a long time already there is no progress of the Portable TB 2.01 version ? When the final version will be released ? Or new version instead of ALPHA version is coming soon ?

When using Portable Thunderbird, I would like hyperlinks to be
opened in Portable Opera installed on the same USB Flash Drive --
NOT in the default browser of the machine I happen to be plugged
into.

Is there a way?

I'm new to Portable TB. I've recently been away from home for three weeks, during which I've visited friends and internet cafes. I've had no trouble downloading e-mails with portable TB, but always ran into trouble for sending. Setting my pertable TB to work with the SMTP address used by the host computer's ISP worked just fine. However, many people don't know what their SMTP address is, and even if they do, I don't feel comfortable asking them to reveal their password. I took to using web-mail for replies, but obviously this is not ideal.

Since writing the above I've had a look at smtp.com, but there's something I don't understand.

Hi, will be %subj% available? The portable version is really good for testing (you just copy profile and go).
