Thunderbird Portable

Duplicate RSS items

Submitted by jkyrlach on March 8, 2006 - 9:44am

I have recently begun using the RSS capability in Thunderbird. I am using it to subscribe to verious cateories of Google news. The problem that I'm experiencing occurs when TB checks for new rss items. It finds many of the stories I already have, but instead of realizing that i ialready have them, TB creates new duplicate stories. As you can imagine, I am quickly piling up many, many copies of each story. I have changed my update rate from 2 minutes to 60, but this doesn't totally solve the problem. Isn't there a way to only have one copy of each story? I've used the rss capability of the Google sidebar before, and I never experienced this problem. (BTW, I would love to have a portable version of the Google sidebar!)

Hello *,

I'm testing the TB 1.5 Release. It works fine. But if I go offline TB downloads all my new message. Thats OK.

Now I went to another Computer an my usb stick gets another drive letter. I start TB and all offline messages are gone. When I go to the first Computer, the same. All messages are gone. What can I do?

1.5 update

Submitted by JohnBrian on March 4, 2006 - 9:57am

I installed Portable TB 1.5 Beta yesterday, and every once in awhile I get a popup that informs me that TB 1.5 is available and that I should upgrade.

Is that because TB is not recognizing Portable TB, and it's not something I need to worry about?

Thunderbird 1.5 Final - when?

Submitted by mosquito on March 3, 2006 - 4:03pm

I think the title of the topic says it all! When will the english version of Portable Thunderbird 1.5 (not the RC1) be released?

- Thunderbird 1.5 was released by Mozilla on January 11.
- Portable Thunderbird 1.5 (german version) was released by thunderbirdforum on January 18.
(see here: http://www.thunderbirdforum.de/filebase_entry.php?entryid=453)

John Haller, do you have the answer?

PTB Address file.

Submitted by wsm23 on March 1, 2006 - 1:03pm

I have deleted all of my emails.

I have maybe 800 Addresses in my PTB 1.5.

Is this the reason that my PTB file is over 65mb?

I deleted over 100 addresses but it seems to make little or no difference.

I did an export to ldif file for my addresses and it is only 460kb.

As you know space is everything on a USB drive.

Running Thunderbird

Submitted by georgecoffey5 on February 23, 2006 - 12:05pm

Hi all,

Hows it going. I am having problems in running Thunderbird

Ever since I moved everything over to the hard drive, it won't run at all. So I went to delete it all together and it said

" Cannot delete parent.lock It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again."

and the same with any file I tried to delete in the Thunderbird directory.

So I downloaded the newer version 1.5 RC1 same again, I redownloaded the 1.0.7 version and nothing. I have transferred these back to the USB, same thing. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks

Portable thunderbird 1.0.7 beta or 1.5 and portable sunbird cann't start up on magic-pro magic twin system.
Error display - ""The application failed to initialize properly - 0xc0000005"
But portable filezilla, firefox, NVU, openoffice and the installer version of thunderbird did start up normally on magic twin system.
