Thunderbird Portable

Hi people,

I have a problem, i just prepared my PTB on my HDD on the PC and there the application works fine. But when I copy the flder to my USB-Stick I get a strange screen with some kind of HTML-Tags or something like this.

I hope there is someone who has the same problem.

Maybe it is one of my extensions, but i hope not ^^

I am using TB from a U3 flash drive.

I know you do not have a TB versiono on U3, it is from yourbrainz.com. The problem I am having is that the file size is massive(77mb). I was considering using PTB 1.5 but how do I install and then upgrade my drive without losing the mail that is currently on U3. Does the profile folder contain this info? I have a second flash drive that I could you also for temp transfer.

What do you suggest?

I used portable Thunderbird to look for mails on a computer of a friend. He now has the message "28 mails unread on ... (my mailaddress)" and is not able to get rid of it. However my mailadress is not saved in the registry. There is no ImapMail-folder on his computer (I used IMAP).

Any idea?

i have two mail accounts, one through gmail and a work related through sbcglobal.net
i need to put in a diffferent user name and password for the secure authentication. there isn't any option for me. i am able to do that under outlook 2k3 but i am not able to import those settings. what can i do?

I am just after discovering your incredible idea of running Portable Apps off your USB. I have Portable Firefox 1.5, Thunderbird 1.07 and Sunbird 0.3a1. I like the idea of bringing your files with you everywhere. However I am having problems in trying to get the newsgroup feature of Thunderbird working. I have the RSS feature working. I am trying to get the Microsoft newsgroups to be downloaded but it keeps saying Connection Timed Out

Is there any program (maybe Thunderbird? I tried but I did not get it) that lets me download rss feeds and read them offline? Instead of trying to connect every once I try to read an rss?

My Linux at home is OFFLINE and downloading rss at university would be right if I could read them at home.

Did I miss any special configuration at Thunderbird?

Thank you.

I got latest Portable Thunderbird(PT) and I found strange things with RSS ....
Everytime I run PT for the first time since PC run, it checks mails fine .... but only mail, PT finds no new RSS things ... NONE, even if I try manualy downloading there, etc ...
but if I close PT (checked, process closed) .. and run it again, it downloads RSS properly ...

are you planning to release portable thunderbird packaged for u3 (like you did portable firefox)?

Hi

May I make a feature request of Portable Thunderbird?

I am using v1.5 RC1 and would like to have my own custom wav file to announce the arrival of a new message. The problem I am finding is that when the Portable Thunderbird folder is moved, the wav file does not play. I expect that it is looking for an absolute path rather a relative path. Is it possible to use a relative path for this file or, if not, some how point to the folder in which Thunderbird is being run where the wav file can be put?

This is set up under the Tools>Options>General>When new message arrives>Advanced>Custom .wav file.

Hi,

I placed PTB 107 into its own folder, got all my settings etc from my old setup just right, and imported all my mail/profile. Everything was working fine until this morning. Now all I get is an "empty" thunderbird screen. By this I mean that there are no folders or messages, and the only menu at the top of the program is "Folders"

I have a screen grab (reduced) if it will help get an idea of what I can see...please help me as I am pulling my hair out over this...

Thanks,
Adam.
