Thunderbird Portable

PTB slow in Kingston drive

Submitted by sergiom99 on July 24, 2006 - 7:27pm

Hi Guys,
i am setting up portable Thunderbird in my Kingston Datatraveler 128Mb, but it's quite slow.
I want to make sure my USB ports are 2.0

I am running WIN XP PRO SP2, all updated drivers. My motherboard is a Soyo 7VCA2. desktop PIII 1ghz.
At device manager i see the following under USB:
--sorry my OS is in spanish!--

I see no "enhanced USB" anywhere!

PTB leaves a stub behind on host PC?

Submitted by peanut butter on July 23, 2006 - 2:28pm

I was cleaning out the registry on one of my computers, and noticed to my surprise that PTB showed up in it. It's under the key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\userid@isp.com
(the email address above isn't real, of course)

Where the string named Application has the value:
"G:\Apps\PortableThunderbird\App\thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -profile "G:\Apps\PortableThunderbird\Data\profile" -mail

Luckily I haven't used PTB on any public computers yet, but the fact that my email address is left behind on a host PC worries me. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Opening links in Portable Firefox

Submitted by colmed01 on July 11, 2006 - 4:49am

Is there a method of forcing Portable Thunderbird to open HTML links in Portable Firefox instead of the default Windows browser.

I'm running both Thunderbird & Firefox on a USB drive, on a PC at work, and don't want to use the installed IE as my browser. DUe to user restrictions I can't (and don't want to) chanmge the default browser.

Syncronisation Thunderbird (portable) PDA (Windows Mobile)

Submitted by Gerd on July 6, 2006 - 11:43am

First I want to describe my circumstances. I use portable Thunderbird on some Windows Computers and even at home on my Ubuntu Linux mashine (using only the profils, works fine).
Everything workes perfect (means: thanks for all that nice portable programs!).
Now I have a T-Mobile MDA (PDA with Windows Mobile). I want to synchronise it with the data in my portable thunderbird profile.
I have tried using activesync with birdiesync. The problem is, that you cant define the right paths for the syncronisation with the portable app.
Maybe someone knows a different way to syncronise a PDA with portable thunderbird, or had success on trying to pair the devices with birdiesync. (with the normal Thunderbird everthing works fine!)
