Thunderbird Portable

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.

Sadly my new work laptop only uses outlook 2010

any ideas?

Can anybody help.

all the best

i double checked with my hosting company and i have the server correctly input. i still can not send email. any tips?

If Thunderbird is loaded on an iPhone, does the email reside on the device or is it only at the server? Is there a way to configure the application to keep all email on the email server?

Desc: TB starts and runs normally, but is not able to connect to any IMAP mail. it is not able to send mail via SMTP nor download the mail from IMAP server (including already recieved mails from inbox)

It does work when the drive letter is E: but does not when G:

I have encountered following issue with ThunderbirdPortable 17.x versions

When running on various system where external medium (onto which TB portable is installed) has different letter assigned, TB does only work on one drive letter assigned (E:).

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. I am no techie, so I need something simple and transparent.I have Windows 7. Thanks Joa
