Thunderbird Portable

HI!
Is it possible to make profiles in Thunderbird portable?
I tried to make it as suggested in help.
Made shortcut and than added -P (for profile)
It starts up but without profile manager.
In regular thunderbird it works fine.

Can it be done, or ill joust make another copy of Thunderbird and configure it for another profile??

Thanx!!

After much Hesitation I've desided to start using Thunderbird (portable edition). However, when I try to delete an email I get "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: [TRYCREATE] The requested item could not be found.." I went offline and deleted the email, then again from the trash bin, and it was gone. But when I got online again, I received the same email I had just deleted (obviously, it's still in the server). Please help, thanks

PS: John (and helpers), thanks for all the fantastic programs that you're putting out. I really appreciate the "free" work you do here, and it makes me mad to see when some people complain.

Here's something I haven't seen before. Occasionally, I'll get a pop-up message at the lower right hand corner of my screen that says "1 new message". I'll go into my TB folders, and won't find any new e-mails there. Are these potential spam messages that TB is deleting before I even get a chance to see them? Or is there something else going on? It's not a crucial problem; I was just wondering what's going on.

Hi all,

I have recently discovered Portable Apps, like the idea and would like to switch as much of my software usage to this suite as well as other portable programs, to give me more flexibility while commuting and travelling.

While taking a look Portable Thunderbird 1.5, I found the behavior described below, which to me looks like a feature (?) / problem of the PTB launcher.
Has anybody encountered this as well and found a solution ?
Did I do something wrong, if so, what do I need to change ?

Your help would be most welcome ...

Thanks

Christian

Hi all,

I am having problems with recently installed Thunderbird Portable 1507. Initially all worked well. That is until I declined the program internet access on one occasion. Since this time GET MAIL does nothing and the timed message feature download tells me I have new messages but doesn't actually download them.

I can still download mail using ;
a)file> get new messages for
b)using the drop down sub menu arrow to the right of the get mail button
c)CTRL-SHIFT-T

I have tried going offline and back on again. I have also checked server settings. Automatically download new messages and check every 10 mins is ticked. All others fields are not ticked. I am stuck here and don't know where to try next.

I have this problem: I have installed on my kingstone 1Gb USB flashdrive the following portable app: portable open office, clamwin, firefox,thunderbird, gaim, 7-zip, VLC, all portable and downloaded from portableapps.com. All of them were running fine until the time thunderbird asked for a update from the Internet. After that the update was downloaded and I restarted the program. A window opened up and tell about the progress of update. This happened in two time with the same result: data loss and corruption of all my data on the flash drive:

First time: the update was sucessful but I lost all my e-mails and data from openoffice

I AM GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE WHEN TRYING TO LAUNCH T-BIRD. IT READS 'ERROR LAUNCHING U3 APPLICATION. I TRIED TO UNINSTALL THE T-BIRD PROGRAM AND GOT ANOTHER ERROR THAT READ 'ERROR UNINSTALLING THE PROGRAM. T-BIRD UNINSTALL FAILED'. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS WHAT TO DO? I NEED HELP

Hello everybody,

Hi,

I have installed Portable Firefox and it updates itself correctly, with nightly builds every day.

Now I have installed Portable Thunderbird and it is not updating.

How I could to force Portable Thunderbird to update itself using a nightly build ?

Thanks

If this has been discussed before, I apologize.

Is there any way to set one profile on a USB drive that can be used be both Thunderbird Portable for Windows and Thunderbird Portable for OS X without any hassle of syncing? Basically, I will be using both OS's and want my one profile to be active for both versions without noticing a difference.

Thanks for the help.
