Thunderbird Portable

Paths in Settings

Submitted by irneb on November 28, 2012 - 2:14am

I've got some issue with paths needing to be full in some instances. E.g. I'm using the Signature Switch addon, but its settings use full paths.

The way I got round it previously was to set the external disc's drive letter to some specific one (e.g. J). Then all the full paths always point to the correct place. However, I don't always have the privileges to adjust such things on all PCs.

export profile from TB Portable to mounted drive

Submitted by frewi on November 6, 2012 - 5:57am

win XP, thunderbird portable 16.0.2

i want to encrypt my emails, so nobody who has accidentally access to my Notebook will be able to read them.

I am using truecrypt and want to move the TBportable profile (lightning calendar included) into one crypted container mounted to a fix drive, e.g. U:\.

I do NOT want to move TBportable itself into the crypted container.

1) I want TBportable to know the (new) location of the profile. But how?

Thunderbird spamming with my email/contancts

Submitted by dochow on October 30, 2012 - 12:21pm

I was notified by a friend that I sent them email encouraging them to purchase slim fast products. I informed them it wasn't me. They showed me the email on their computer and to my surprise it came from me and sent to them and two other people. One person on the list has sickle cell problem and they are so skinny now, advising them to use slim fast would cause them to die.

Is Thunderbird stealing my contacts and spamming my contacts?

My inbox does not show any spam sent, but the contacts are definitely mine.

What is «wrong destination folder»?

Submitted by Martis on October 24, 2012 - 1:26pm

I tried to instal Thunderbird Portable. First, using saved on hard disk file «ThunderbirdPortable_16.0.1_English.paf.exe», then opening it without saving. Both attempts came to the same result: the installation program refuse to continue on stage «Installation folder selection», and I have a message:
«Wrong destination folder. Please, select right folder.»
I had changed folders many times, with "ThunderbirdPortable" in their names and without it, on different hard disks and directories. No matter.

What I have to do?
Please, help!

TB 16.0.1 IMAP mail not saved locally problem

Submitted by PapaStalin on October 18, 2012 - 7:28am

please advise

tried out TB's IMAP to access gmail account, but have a big problem

no matter that Sync options are set to download mail to local folder, and no restrictions of date or size are in place, i still can not force thunderbird to store mail locally (ie, work offline).

if there is no internet connection, than on some computers TB still shows all gmail folders, and mail headers, but no text is there.

or the same usb flash on other computer without internet, just wont show any mail folders at all.

mozilla thunderbird constant problem

Submitted by play2win on October 15, 2012 - 9:25pm

this bug has been driving me crazy for a while now. I am running windows 7 64 bit on my machine. When windows is up and running I start portable apps and the first time I run mozilla thunderbird it starts up with no problem. When I exit it and then try to restart it, the system processes shows it running but I can't get to it, I can't access the graphical interface. If I click on it again to start it, it appears there are multiple instances of it running but I can't get to any of the processes. I can kill of of them manually except 1 instance, and i have to reboot to fix the problem.
