Thunderbird Portable

"Edit As New" Opens Message in Text Format

Submitted by liyin on November 6, 2016 - 11:04am

I used "Edit As New" (Sent folder) in Thunderbird 45.4.0 and the opened messages were in HTML format.

But now with portable Thunderbird the messages open as text, links are not clickable anymore, for example.

I was using the same settings I used before and also made changes to force HTML format, but it made no difference.

Android & Windows PC

It may be somewhere in the blurb, but I've failed to find anything to tell me if I can use the Thunderbird Portable app on both PC (laptop & netbook) and Android (Tablet & Phone), in which case I'll use an OTG Flash Drive for my download. Anyone know, please?

Accepted event invitation did not populate Lightning calendar

Submitted by PetersT on October 11, 2016 - 6:44am

I have the Lighting calendar add-on in my Thunderbird portable. In the past, when I received an email that was an invitation to an event, I would click the Accept button, and the event would populate the appropriate day on my Lightning calendar. However, this past week, when I accepted an event, instead of populating Lightning, it populate the calendar provided by my email service, Outlook on the web (specifically, Office 365 Business Essentials).

Thunderbird clean install RAM ~160MB

Greetings.
I plan to migrate from Outlook Express, Thunderbird is one of the candidates.
My computer is old, OS XP, and I format it with frequency, then a portable software would be very convenient.
The problem is that I just download the portable Thunderbird here in portableapps and installed, clean program is consuming around 160MB, even after disabled Lightning and offline mode.
When I run it, open two applications in the task manager, thunderbird.exe (~ 160MB) and ThunderbirdPortable.exe (~ 6MB).

From where besides Default Programs and besides under Options, Advanced, Config Editor, is ThunderbirdPortable finding FirefoxP?

Subject: From where besides Default Programs, and besides under Options, Advanced, Config Editor, is ThunderbirdPortable finding FirefoxPortable?
This is about Thunderbird 45.3.0, not Firefox. Just so you know, I asked this first of Mozilla and was told in full: "Thunderbird passes the hyperlink to the operating system to the default handler (Browser) anything else is portable apps magic." So here I am at the magical PortableApps. Smile

Message filters have stopped working after Thunderbird 45.3.0 upgrade

Submitted by PetersT on August 31, 2016 - 1:14pm

My message filters seem to have stopped working since I was prompted for, and installed, update 45.3.0. I have tried running them manually to no effect. Is there possibly a bug in this upgrade? Or, is there something else I can try in order to get them working again.

Hi. I'm using version 45.2.0 of Thunderbird for Portable Apps. I began a long discussion at mozilla support but nothing where solved. The last post suggest me to look here for help.

So I'm doing this. I just copy/paste the first post in that FORUM, and after this I will offer the link to the mozilla discussion. There you can find a lot of images that explain what are happening.
