Thunderbird Portable

Accounts AWOL

Submitted by spartacusroosevelt on August 14, 2006 - 2:29pm

I have been having the same problem as this guy. So I downloaded the ini, made sure the two settings were false and saved it in the same dir as PortableThunderbird.exe. I still get no accounts showing in PT. So I deleted the LocalFolders-1 directory PT has created and tried again, still with the ini in the folder. Still no boxes.

Suggestions?

Copying settings

Submitted by jmreid on August 14, 2006 - 1:39am

I have set up Thunderbird for U3 and have copied the profile as directed in support but the settings, address book etc don't appear.
Same with Firefox as well. I copied them from my Hard drive but they don't appear when I restart the program

Submitted by michal-zajic on August 11, 2006 - 7:27am

Hi all,
using Portable TB version 1.5.0.5 (20060719) - installed as Portable but with automatic updates (if any) on my Flash device

I have twi IMAP accounts set up for OffLine sync and when I
1) hit File -> Offline -> Work Offline to sync
2) correctly remove Flash and move it to my home Laptop with no internet connection at all
3) run TB for the first time

it actually runs well

BUT when I close down TB and try to run it next time all content of my IMAP accounts is gone and I can see only inbox.

even I can see I have some content in IMAP folder on my flash, i cannot see it from TB

Upgrading from 1.0 to 1.5

Submitted by lazylook on August 10, 2006 - 10:02pm

I have thunder 1.0 on my usb and I want to upgrade, but when I move the profile over to PTData nothing happens. The data is not imported.

the PT that I have now 1.0 looks like I moved a PC copy over to my USB.
The only folder that I have in the 1.0 is thunderbird
Inside thunderbird is the .exe /chrome /components /dfaults /extentions /greprefs /PortableThunderbird /profile /res

When I move this /profile over the the new PTdata, then open the 1.5 exe nothing is in there.

PTB on PDA

Submitted by phogi on August 8, 2006 - 1:05pm

Hi,

Can PTB run on any PDA? If so, which platforms? I was hoping to run Thunderbird on my Palm but that seems to be impossible at the moment, and users are left to synchronizing TB with whatever mail client they have on their PDAs.

Setup to cut and paste into webmail

Submitted by Frank D. Hubeny on August 8, 2006 - 7:05am

Hello Group;

I can not use any e-mail cliet at work due to firefalls.

I do use gpg to encrypt and or sign my e-mail. I wqs told you could set up Tunderbird to compose and then encryo/sign e-mail and then cut and paste it into a web based mailer.

My question is how do I do this. I thought that others may have a similar problem and could help. I do not mind recieveing mail that I cut and paste into my word processor. Being able to do some automatically would be a big help.

Error launching PTB

Submitted by sergiom99 on August 6, 2006 - 11:38pm

I am using PTB in my Kingston flash drive without any problems. My mainboard only has USB 1.0 ports, so I just installed a PCI USB 2.0 card.
When I try to launch PTB from this new ports I get this error message:
(sorry my Win XP is in spanish)
http://img46.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=21495_error_TB_USB_307lo.jpg

If I plug the drive in the old ports, i can launch PTB as usual.
I can use the drive+PTB in my work PC, a Dual Core pentium, so USB 2.0 is not an issue. Could it be the PCI USB Card?? I changed it for another one, with same results. (VIA Chip, 5 ports (1 internal))

Thanks fo

Ack! Says Extension not Supported.

Been using PT forever and love it (thanx!), BUT. Just installed the latest update (fresh install, then moved over my saved profile) and all seemed to go well, but when I started up the new one to test it out, it said that my SMTP ShowName extension, which saved my butt because I often have to "tweak" my smtp settings for numerous accounts) won't work with the new version---and prayerfully clicking on the "check for update" button yielded "no update available."

It's been so long since I first installed this that to my embarrassment I've forgotten the exact function, but I know that until I did, I couldn't set PT to use different SMTP servers for different accounts?
