Thunderbird Portable

Hello, thanks for this great site and great apps. I've bought myself a 1GB USB 2.0 flash disk (had a 1.1 USB 1GB before) after I discovered the site and copied the portable apps into it. For now, I use the Portable Thunderbird and it rocks, to be mobile and not to worry whether my important email message is at home or at work.

I used TheBat Professional Edition before. It is a VERY advanced email client but despite that it had very little community support and as of yesterday, I jumped on the Thunderbird train.

I've imported my previous mailboxes with absolutely no problems. All I had to do was to export Unix mailboxes from TheBat and copy them into my account directories of PTB.

Some RSS feeds that I have added in Portable Thunderbird will not show at all and some web pages will only display text and not even the web site graphics while my regular Thunderbird shows the pages correctly on the same RSS feeds. Is this an issue with PT or is it just an option that I am missing?

How do I get Portable Thunderbird to always launch the existing Portable Firefox rather than trying to create a new non-portable Firefox profile each time?

I run Portable Thunderbird & Portable Firefox. When I click on a link in Thunderbird AND I have Firefox running everything works as it should. However when I click on link in Thunderbird and Firefox IS NOT running, it causes an error message.

I'm running PortableThunderbird 1.0.7 on a USB 512mb memory stick. Along with that app, I've got PortableFirefox installed on the same device.

Both run fine, and I can move the memory stick from machine to machine and keep my application data/environment consistent. Which saves an incredible amount of time and effort on my part as I move around.

The only thing I haven't been able to figure out, (so far), is how to directly invoke PortableFirefox from a link contained within a message I'm reading in PortableThunderbird.

When I mouse over the link, it displays correctly in the status bar. If I copy/paste the link PortableFirefox finds it, but I can't simply click, double-click, or right-click on the link and have PortableFirefox act on the URL.

I have imported my settings from the Thunderbird of my Descktop (coping all the files of my profile in Desktop PC to the profile directory within Portable Thunderbird). I have configurated in my Portable Thunderbird new "Local Directories" for the mails of all my accounts (I have 7 accounts). But I can't do it with the "Local Direcory" for "Local Folders", it remains allways the same: "C:\Documents and Settings\...\Local Folders". I wnat to have a "Local Directory" for "Local Folders" in the Pendrive, "E:\...\Local Folders". Any special to do? Thank you.

Does anyone know how to make Thunderbird startup automatically when the USB drive is plugged in? I don't want to install any programs on my work computer, and that is where I mostly use it.
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Dan

Is it possible to set up the user profiles outside of the program file directory structure? For example, the path to the program is:

F:\PortableApps\PortableThunderbird

I would like to set up a common area for my profile information on the same drive, but not under the program directory so that the data and settings wouldn't be inadvertantly erased in an upgrade or recovery. The path would be something like this:

F:\ProfileData\Thunderbird\Profiles

Individual profiles could then be added below that directory as needed. So, is it possible to set up a relative path in the configuration file to correctly point to this directory? Perhaps something on the order of:

when i first started thunderbird from my USB stick everything worked fine, i sent some messages and received some. then when i closed the program amd restarted it the inbox and sent box were empty.
am i doing somethiing wrong?
