Thunderbird Portable

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?

I've been using Thunderbird Portable for a while, but now a client has asked to get it on the action (I may have extolled the virtues of the portable life, never thinking that I'd have to set things up for him, d'oh!)

THE PROBLEM
-----------
He has MANY mail accounts.

1) Is it necessary to set all these up manually when transferring from his desktop Thunderbird to portable Thunderbird?

If so, is there an easier/faster way. Some of these passwords are hidden. I envisage lots of time-wasting finding them.

As I say, it's been ages since I've done this, so a reminder would be great!

I was very happy when i downloaded the ptb201 release. I tried to upgrade my previous ptb1.5 to 2.01 but when i tried to localize i get errors
I tried to localize your btb201 release but I got the same errors.
I downloaded the latest HU release from here
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-mozilla...
and copied to ThunderbirdPortable\App\thunderbird but i get this message at the bottom and the menu is missing.
menuitem id="FolderPaneContext-new"----^

I tried to install switch-locales-1.5.1.xpi also but final is the same.

How could I solve?
Thanks

I have set a folder for personal data I regularly synchronize between a usb key, containing ThunderbirdPortable, and a desktop computer running standard Thunderbird software. The idea is to get my mail folders, address books as well as environment (extensions, themes, accounts, options) identical between my usb key and my home computer, what ever the software version used, and keep all changes automatically.

But I cannot re-locate the folder "profile" to a personal data folder with the portable edition, thing that i can do easily by adding "-ProfileManager" after the standard thunderbird.exe.

Hello,

great work with TB 1.5.0.5 again, thanks a lot.
Is the new GPG-version used in this bundle, too, or it's the old version 1.4.3?

When I start and close Portable Thunderbird I see the message "Registry editing has been disabled by your Administrator", which is correct since I'm only a limited user here at work.

To banish these messages I simply moved the 'registry' sub-folder out of the 'data' folder. Everything seems to be working fine. Is it okay to leave things this way?

Since it has to be installed (normally), I'm not sure how to update it. I'd rather not be stuck with 1.4.3 forever.

As the topic already said:

When will portab. TB v1.5.0.5 available ?

The german Version is already released!

Originally v1.5.0.5 was announced for yesterday

Any idea how to do this?
Now Im using method with export/import adressbook, but is there any other way?
Problem is that i dont know where is path for that file on my disc... then i would easily use Copy/Paste.

The same question is for the Calendar option in T-bird (ext. Lightinig)

I have been using portable Thunderbird off my USB for some time now. I am now planning to use Thunderbird as my main Email client on my PC. I wish to continue to use my USB drive to take my Email around with me, when I am not carrying my laptop.

How do I ;

1. Move my existing Email from my USB drive to my laptop.

2. How do I keep Thunderbird on my laptop in sync with T'bird on my USB.

Thanks in advance.
