Thunderbird Portable

Hi,

I have decided to use normal Thunderbird on my home computer and Portable Thunderbird on a USB stick at work to view RSS feeds.

Is it possible to sync the the Portable Thunderbird to my home computer when I get home? Is it as simple as what is on the Support page - "Copying you local Thunderbird settings" just in reverse?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

Hello,

I have searched the forum for "unread" in order to make sure I am not repeating a previous post, and didn't find anything applicable. Sorry, if I missed something.

I have moved from 10 years of Eudora usage to PTB on a USB flash drive and love it. There is just one single issue, which I encountered. Every time I use PTB on a computer I never used it before, almost all mailboxes and all messages therein will be marked as unread again. The Shift-Ctrl-C command only works on folders without subfolders. Thus, it is rather painstaking to set all messages to read again.
Is there a way to stop this (the resetting to unread) from happening in the future?

Overnight TB slowed to a crawl.
Program load takes "forever", message loading is slow, Delting a msg is real slow.
Did Compact Folders.
Seems that I remember that deleting a file in each folder that will be rebuilt on startup fixes this problem.
Am I having a "Senior Moment" or is there a such a delete a file fix?
Regards,
Frank

The thunderbird a2 is out already. I've been using portable thunderbird a1 for months and enjoyed using it, except for few bugs. Hope that the portable a2 will be out soon. Keep on the good job!

How do I copy emails from one instance of TB protable to another? When I tried copying the Local Folders of one into another after renaming it, all the folders came into view, but none of the emails.Is this not the right thing to do? If not, please help. Also how do I archive emails from USB's TB into PC's TB?

Thanks

Hi folks!
Hope you can help me. Because I don't know why my sent file in Thunderbird Portable is still big. It is about 150 MB, but in my Sent-Folder are only ten
files. Their maximum size should be 6 MB, or something around that.
I had sent some files with a big attachment, but I have deleted them all.
Do you know why the file is still big?

I know there's already a link in PA.com for a calendar extension, but Mozilla is no longer working with it, instead they are working on Sunbird (a whole calendar app that John already has made portable) and Lightning (which is a TB or FF extension, similar to Calendar)

So here's my request. With calendar you could add a parameter to open the calendar without opening TB (see here). Is there a way to do this with the new Lightning extension? I'm guessing the only thing we (I) will need is the launcher to open the calendar.

I was never able to get the junk filter features to work in the most recent (I believe) Thunderbird portable 2.0 alpha. I'm running this on an XP machine off a U3 drive.

I found that the Junk folder did not automatically create, leading to various efforts on my part to create one myself. I have the mozillaZine "Junk messages not moved" and followed the instructions (thank you), but the ability to automatically moved Junk mail items to the Junk folder never appeared. I reinstalled a couple of times.

So I'm back with the released product 1.5.0.7 which works very well in this and other regards.

hi everyone,

i use TB 1.5.07 and it is in USB drive.I like to keep my mail acccount small in the server as well with unwanted mail being deleted after i choose to do it from T/B

so how do i configure it corectly, i have experimented with ticking the box remove messages after i choose to delete but after i do it and visit the webmail site it is still there , which is confusing.

hi ,
i use thunderbird 1.5.0.7 in a USB drive.when ever i copy and paste it to the local PC at home i notice that after starting TB it has changed folder names i have created for specfic emails through email rules. this happens only for one folder only .that is my bluebottle folder and the folder is shown in something like 8g6ccs, which is very confusing.

what can i do.
my main motive is to have TB run on a USb abd also have a regular upadated copy of it in my PC. is this the correct way to do it or should we only copy profile folder.

regards
