Thunderbird Portable

Hi All,

My migration path to TB has got me tied in such knots that I don't know how to untangle myself...

I was using McAffee spam filter at the time I setup TB. This meant that my mailboxes were setup (physical directories) as 127.0.0.1-1 or something like that.

I only migrated my personal aacounts as a trial.

Several machines later and too many rebuilds that should be necessary for anyone to have to do, I finally discovered U3, despite the fact that I had several copies of PortableApps downloaded on my machine. At the time the (PA) mountain was just too high for me to climb...

I downloaded portTB and installed it on my thumbdrive - no prob. Copied my preferences across and got it all set up. Sweet. Then I ejected the thumbdrive and went to open my local version of TB and (argh!) I get the New Account Wizard opening up and a blank TB.

All the files appear intact in my App support/etc but TB is not picking them up. I am running XP.

Any help gratefully appreciated

I'm an avid user of Thunderbird, but I don't like using PTB because the e-mail files get so big (I only have a 256M drive, and I'm approaching 1GB on my desktop), and because I have no way to synchronize my e-mail.

Hi,

I have problems with imported address books (impab.mab, impab-x.mab).
If I click on an importat address book, the only message which appears is "No mathces found", but the files impab.mab, impab.mab-1, etc, exist!
So what can I do that my address books are syncronized?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,
I have been following this portable apps development with great interest as it ideally suits me. I do have my own laptop but without internet access.I can use the internet from the library.
The problem is I think the library PCs do not allow portable thunderbird to access the mails via POP3 protocol. IS there a way to get my mails into my flash from the library computer. Every time when i try it says your connection timed out and nothing happens.
Cud any one help me out please?
on the other hand yahoo messenger works fine from portable GAIM
I am desperate to get an answer and would be very grateful if any one helps me out.

Hi,

Recently I downloaded Protable TB (1.5.0.2)on my USB card. I am also using Portable FF.

I setup TB to manage my Gmail and Sympatico (ISP provider) account through TB. As long as I am using portable TB from my home computer it works fine but when I try at my work I get the error message "Connection to server pop.gmail.com time out". Similarly, when I am using Sympatico account I get "Connection to server smtp8.sympatico.ca time out".

The whole purpose of using Portable TB is to use single e-mail interface to get acces to my e-mails wheverevr I am.

I may be doing some thing wrong but so far I am unable to findout what and how to fix it.

Hello,

is it possible to run thunderbird 1.5.02 and portable thunderbird 1.5.02 on a winXP at the same time.

Everytime I start portable thunderbird and thunderbird is already running (and viceversa) it says that thunderbird is already running.

Ok I just installed it and everything works well, sort of. I can receive mail but when I try to send this happens:

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first m78sm1153226pye. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.

So I check my Account Settings, My Outgoing Server and it says:

name - smtp.gmail.com (Default)
Description:
Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 0
User Name: .........
Secure Connection: none

Everything looks ok but why will it not s

Hello,

since I've upgraded to 1.5.0.2 yesterday, I have one problem:
Starting PortableThunderbird.exe I've got a warning message:
.... Path ..... Coudnot write to registry cause something is in use

there's a similar message if I close the program

All other thinks work fine.

Interesting is, in the path there is infront of the filename a doble backslash.

???
