password protect your profile

Submitted by jrh on February 6, 2006 - 2:10pm

I found a nice extension and I thought I'd share it.

All this does is password protect access to your profile via Thunderbird - it does not encrypt your files, so if someone smart gets into your mail they could still read it - but it would take a little effort.

It basically protects easy viewing of your email by, say, family or some guy who finds your lost drive.

Thunderbird Instances and WINE

John Haller deserves a medal or two for his work with these projects. Smile

In any case I'm trying a slightly more complicated than average use of PT than I'm sure was initially anticipated / intended.

I work with windows pcs and have one windows and one linux pc at home. I'm trying to get portable thunderbird up and running via wine on the linux pc. I've heard this is possible and so attempted the following:

I've copied /PortableThunderbird/ from my usbdrive to my /home/ directory on the linux pc. I think sy. link my profile directory to my flash drive (/home/[name]/PortableThunderbird/profile ==> /media/USB1/PortableThunderbird/profile). The profile is found peachily (if I unmount the thumbdrive it begins asking me if I want to create a directory in a new location). But upon execution wine spits out:

start TB and PTB cause loss of PTB account...

Il you start ThunderBird, and start PortableThunderBird at the same time, you will loss acount on PortableThunderBird profile...

This occur on the french version of PortableThunderbird, and is the same problem with US version of PortableThunderbird (v1.5)...

NSIS error

I'm having trouble running PTB on a few pc's...I keep getting an "NSIS error" "The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete." Etc.... It only happens on a few computers. No rhyme or reason.
Thanks in advance,

m is not a registered protocol

Submitted by allyourbase on January 31, 2006 - 5:47pm

Ever since I upgraded to the 1.5 RC1 version of Portable Thunderbird, I get the message "m is not a registered protocol" when I open the app. I suspect the "m" refers to the drive letter of the thumb drive that PT is running on, but I'm not sure.

If I move the Portable Thunderbird folder to the C: drive, I still get "m is not a registered protocol" when I launch it.

I've tried googling this, but haven't found a solution.

This didn't happen with 1.0.7. It only started with 1.5 RC1. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how to resolve it?

I am trying to get mail from my work computer using my charter.net account and get a message that could not connect to server pop.charter.net; the connection was refused. I am using the same setting from my home computer. Any one have help on this issue.

Thank You
