Thunderbird Portable

From the experience of Portable Firefox OSX, I've packaged a Portable Thunderbird Mac OS X version using this script so you can launch it with a double click from any device:

I want to copy my E-Mails and Profiles/Settings from my installed Thunderbird version to the Portabel Version.

What Files i have to copy and where can i find them?

immediately after creating a new contact, it is lost in the long list, & i have to search it painfully among thousands of entries. the scroll bar shold remain at the last entry.

more search options are required. more export options are required. more customizable address fields are required.

look up contact in the context menu when clicking on email addresses required.

atleast there will be some addons extensions for some additional functionality in near future, i hope.

i have finally migrated from outlook completely (lock stock & barrel) to portable TB, & also to other portable apps like OOO & abiword & been using all these for about a month.

So, it's been out for what... three minutes already? So, where's our portable version? And with that said, I'll now duck behind this handy portable barrier.

Lads for sending an E-mail on a computer wich carrier you do not now, I thought this link could help you out.

most off the time the smtp would be stmp.carrier.country

I hope this hint works for you as it does for me.

I'm kinda having a problem with ptb: allthough I've set it up to act as the default mail client for the system (XP Prof), it does not act like that, i.e.: when trying to send files from desktop by rightclicking&sendto: mail recipient NOTHING happens. When trying to send from within openoffice writer, I receive an error message saying that there is no mail client defined.
What can I do?
Thanks

is it possible to modify a extention that was made for a earlier version so it could work on the portable thunderbird 1.5 Thanks

my inbox file is 100 meg on my usb drive. when i add all the email messages up in my entire email account its under 1 meg. I have compacted and still the same size.

any ideas?

i recently downloaded a good deal of email probly 400 megs worth but deleted and compacted. why is my inbox so bloated.

as a test i tried zip-ing it up to see what the results were.. 50k

so something definitely seems wrong.

I have Portable TB1.5 RC1 with Enigmail and GPG installed in a USB Pen drive
and two mail accounts working fine.

The problem(?) is that PTB keeps asking to update to a new version PTB v1.5.
I select "not now" because i am not sure if it is safe to update PTB that way.
Could someone enlighten me?

BTW, is it safe to update Enigmail from Tools-->Extensions - [update now]?;
There is a new ver.093.2 of enigmail ready to go.;)

TIA.

I know you recommend not to enable anti-virus because of adverse affect on flash drive life but this morning I had 1000+ messages waiting on just one account. Valid emails were less than 10. My current spam filter (Spamihilator) had a 99% efficiency. After 2 weeks of training PTB, it let through more than 12%. There were still about 125 messages (115 spam) to go through. I for one would rather replace my drive every 3-4 months than wade through all this spam. Great site and Great tools. Many thanks for your work. Donation to follow.
