Thunderbird Portable

Can Thunderbird be configured as a portable app for Linux?

I´m currently dependent on a Windows 98SE machine, and it crashes every time I open Portable Thurnderbird--it just announces that the application has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. Any thoughts on how this can be remedied?

OK...the MD5 Hash for 1.5.0.5 + Enigmail/GPG on the download page for 1.5.0.5 does *not* match the MD5 hash I get when I crunch it. The hash, as it appears on the page is:

cbfe358b220b8960ccd3e20a8733e736

...and the hash, as I calculate it, is:

34cc751a77c20fbc582844629fdf6c77

I did a search on this and found nothing. And yes, I'm one of the "geek squad" who checks things like this, but it's only because I'm paranoid.

Can anybody confirm, and if the maintainer happens to read this (hi, John!) can you please verify the correct MD5 sum?

I've just newly found this site after purchasing a U3 flash drive (didn't mean to), and I absolutely love the PortableApps.com model over the U3 model.

I'm thinking of buying a new Kingston flash drive. I am looking forward to:

** Kingston 2GB USB 2.0 DataTraveler II (Part n° KUSBDTII/2GB )
or
** Kingston Data Traveler II Plus - Migo Edition 2GB (Part n° DTII+M/2GB )

Anyone has had any experience with TBP and U3, Migo or secured flash drives?

And with any of these drives?? I'm excited about the secure or encryption features.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Sergio.

PS: And I have to add that John has made a superb job with Portable TB!! Thanks man!

First of all thanks to all making portable apps possible. Revolutionary.

I recentyly bought a IPAQ Rx 1950 and was disappointed I couldn't sync thunderbird, usually on a usb key. I thought I might be able to run thunderbird from the memory card. no luck.

Is their a way to do this or are the operating systems too differerent?

Thanks

When I installed P-TBird, I neglected to disable "automatic updates". A week or so ago T-Bird 1.5.0.5 was auto installed on top of P-Tbird. This may or may not be related to my problem.

About the same time, everything left in my inbox from a previous session would be gone when I started the program. I searched Mozilla archives and discovered that this problem can happen if:

1. Too much mail is left in the inbox
2. Sub-directories of the inbox are created

One can test for this problem by doing a "Compact Files". I did so and all the missing messages re-appeared but were invisible again when I re-started. "Compact Files" would always bring them back.

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to read html email?
If so, how do I configure it to do so?

Also is it possible to send html email?
If so, how?

Thanks in advance!

As in the TAG feature, it is great as you now can create new TAG.
However, I found out that it's kinda odd as you cannot EDIT either
existing or newly created.

It would be great if in next version, this would be improved.

When I invoke Thunderbird Help on the Help menu Help does not appear. Is there some way to set the path to the Help file?

Thanks.

Hi,

First thanks for your job !!

When I'm launching TP when it's already launched, there is an error that wasn't in older versions. An idea ?

And is someone using Mailbox Alert extension ? It seems not work very well when USB key moved.

Sorry for my english, I'm French.
It's a real good stuff, I enjoyed travelling with my applications.
