Thunderbird Portable

Although your "extension-friendly" launcher is supposed to alter the paths to any extensions to be relative (and seems to work fine), some configuration parameters (for example, "mail.root" as seen with the about.com extension) have the drive letter specified. Obviously, the assigned drive letter may change from computer to computer or depending on how many USB flash drives are connected. At least one extension ("Thunderbird Reset Quote Header" from www.supportware.net/mozilla/) requires you to browse for the text file it will use and then hard codes the drive letter into the configuration (which can be edited with about.com). Consequently, it isn't a relative path, and it doesn't work if the drive letter changes. Under the U3 modifications, is there a work-around or solution to redirect specified drive letters to currently assigned drive letters, or can % be used somehow?

Hello, how can i auto-set a higher-than-normal or high priority for thunderbird.exe on WinXP SP2?
I've noticed that you can't simply set the command on the shortcut 'cause it triggers Portable Thunderbird Launcher and not Thunderbird.exe.
Thanks

having used PT now on a couple of different machines (to successfully recieve email), one on a network, and one on a similar home wireless set up to the one i have at home. I find i can only send and receive on my own machine. Whenever i try to send i get a very longwinded message about servers, if anyone has any suggestions i would be most greatful
Cheers

How do I get TB to trigger for an update? Firefox did this right away, and I haven't had any issues with it, but TB won't update. I don't want to try to install the regular install program to the portable folder.

I'm using PT 1.5 on Windows and it's just started hanging on a Get Mail command.

It will usually download the first piece, then hang on the second one. It just started this behaviour recently, and I can't figure it out. The next eMail message isn't unusually large or an html message necessarily.

The only thing I can think of that I'm doing strangely is using PT on a Mac and on Windows accessing the same profile. The Mac version (also 1.5) seems to occasionally hang on program start.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Installed v1.5, nice changes over the previous PT.
Then, PT got an auto-update.... since then v1.5 has been very slow and constantly thrashing the USB drive. Junk is now turned off and it still thrashes and takes forever to load.
Deleted xul.mfl, restarted, no change

Normally when I start using a new mail client, my Norton Antivirus detect it and check the mail when it is sent and when it is received, however it seems that with PTB this is not happening. Any idea on how can I protect my Mail??

the Get Mail button doesn't work. If I click the little black arrow and tell to Get All New Message, that works.

Any ideas?

NOTE: I have multiple email accounts I connect to. Possible reason.

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?
