Thunderbird Portable

i have three email accounts going into a global inbox. in the account setting of each account "check for new messages at startup" is ticked.
but its not checking mails at startup.

everything else like checking mails periodically and "get all new messages" works fine.

am i missing something?

I am trying to integrate GPG Portable to my TBird Portable, but I keep getting the following error message:

http://tinypic.com/r/2a8kqyw/5

I am using the latest GPG Portable (1.4.13) and the latest TBird Portable [17.0.8]. I hope someone can help me fix this so that I can enjoy secure emailing everywhere (hello NSA staffer!).

Where can I find previous versions of Portable Thunderbird, for instance version 17.0.7? Sorry if this is answered elsewhere - I did do a search.

On the main Thunderbird Portable page, https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable, the "Other versions" link takes me to a page that does not seem to have a lot of versions including 17.0.7.

I use over a hundred email accounts.
Sometimes I need to see the last sent emails.

How can I do that in only one place ?

Best Regards

Hi:
I have Mozilla Thunderbird installed on my PortableApps platform. It works fine as an email client. I set up my email client and it gave me a lot of useful options and control.

However, it is just an email program. There seems to be no way to add extensions like Lightening or do anything else. I must be missing something here and would appreciate it if someone can clarify why my application is so limited.
Thanks

In another thread I reported from my problems, which me encountered during the usage of the IMAP protocol. In the meantime I searched for a solution regarding the handling of the IMAP protocol. For a better overview I have decided me for the creation of this new thread.

The following short tutorial should bring a little bit more enlightenment in the darkness of the IMAP protocol.

1. Creation of a new email account

I tried to send an email but without any success. Instead a dialog windows was opened and told me, that a message is copied to the folder Sent. But I see only a recurring progress bar.

Hi,

Is it possible to have multiple installations of Thunderbird Portable in the same Portable Apps folder, for instance, by renaming its folder?

Many thanks.

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.

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.
