Hi,

I installed and reinstalled portable thunderbird 3.1.10 on a networked drive. It is not working at all. I continue to receive the message :"Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition cannot be started. You may wish to re-install to fix this issue. (ERROR: thunderbird.exe could not be found)".

Did somebody have any idea how to make it work?

Filters don't obey

Filters don't obey

Some emails goes to a folder with star and purple color tag.
I have tried to filter to another folder but don't obey me.

I observed when I create the filter from the message in the message filter window that a number appear in the name : 4,5,6......,11, etc.
Then I observed that the same filter is operated one and one more with no result because I continue receiving these emails in the same folder.

No change.

What can I do ?

I have tried to compact and repair folders with not succeed.

Best Regards

How To Thunderbird as Limited User... problematic

Submitted by Portabelly on May 25, 2011 - 10:01pm

Hello.

System: Windows XP Home

What is the proper way to install Thunderbird portable so a limited user can
use Thunderbird ?

I am experiencing the following difficulties after install as Admin, and as User.

1. Under a User account, Thunderbird will not remember 3rd party Firewall settings
(Comodo Firewall) it thinks Thunderbird is new each time. I am launching with
"Run As" administrator account.

2. If I launch Thunderbird without Run As administrator, a security warning pops up
and Thunderbird is locked.

Restart of Thunderbird internal command is ok?

Submitted by maki_33 on May 13, 2011 - 4:36am

Hi,
i know from the installed TB installation the restart option i.e. after installing a new addon. In my imagine the portableapp version could be influence the behaviour (settings will not be stored or registry entries were not removed, something like that).

So my question: Is it ok to restart TP-portable with the TB internal given command? Or should i close TB-portable compeletely and start the program again afterwards.

Let me ask a question with little overlap to Firefox-PP :). Same question about that program.

Thx in advance

Migrating from U3 to PortableApps

I have to migrate my old Thunderbird environment from my dying 8GB U3 flash drive to a new Thunderbird environment on a new PortableApps platform on a new 16GB flash drive, and I'm looking for any pointers or advice before I get started.

My old Thunderbird is no longer functional, but I have the old Data and System folders and (so far) have no reason to expect them to be corrupted.

Here's how I got to this point.

ICS attachments

Submitted by Aqualung on April 29, 2011 - 12:53pm

I receive .ics (icalendar) attachments in my Thunderbird email. How do I go about adding them to my Lightning calendar please? I tried saving them to my Desktop, and then importing, but that didn't do anything. (see also http://goo.gl/z5urw) Or is this a feature that doesn't work with portable Thunderbird?

Anyone else having this sort of issues?

(Running Thunderbird 3.1.10 with Lightning 1.0b2 in Win7 x64.)
