Thunderbird Portable

New Thunderbird crashes on opening

Submitted by ikbol on June 28, 2013 - 10:59am

I can open my new Portable Thunderbird - but it more or less immediately crashes.

This is mainly why:

it took my existing email account info. and rather than linking to xxx@blueyonder.co.uk directly, linked to it via my virgin/gmail account. Virginmedia supplies my blueyonder account, and holds all my email on gmail, (accessible via a browser), as well as supplying it to the email prog. on my computer.

That meant Thunderbird immediately downloaded *40,000* old emails from gmail, and not just the latest handful.

Summary files always being rebuilt

Submitted by darkstar on May 29, 2013 - 4:15pm

Why is it that whenever I move my USB disk drive (containing all my PortableApps, including Portable Thunderbird v17.0.6) from one computer to another, I always have to go through all my folders and rebuild the summary files? This is tedious (I have a LOT of folders) time consuming and a real annoyance. That is because I HAVE to have the summary files rebuilt before I can download new email from my server and SEE what new messages came in.

Submitted by lazajoa on April 13, 2013 - 12:48pm

I am trying to save all my "saved" past emails, which are in folders, and all my future important emails, which I would place into folders. I want to save them on a portable device such as a thumb drive (30GB) or my Seagate brick. Is this possible? If so how can I do this? Please tell me the best way.
