Thunderbird Portable

Anyone else found a bug in PTB 3.1.7 which won't let me open multiple instances of PTB at the same time? And yes, I have set "AllowMultipleInstances=true" in Thunderbird.ini and this was never a problem with version 3.1.6, from which I upgraded today.
(and please don't question why I want to open multiple instances, this is how I set up my mail system and it has never been a problem before.)

The pt-BR localized version of Thunderbird 3.1.7 seems to be unavailable for download. Broken link? Not yet uploaded?
Many thanks

I want my Thunderbird Portable 3.1.6 to be a default mail client in Windows 7. The main problem why I can not do this is that there is no Thunderbird Portable in default programs list in Windows 7. There is Thunderbird in the list but it is not portable one. The same story was when I wanted to make my Firefox Portable browser as a default browser. This helped me https://sites.google.com/site/firefoxuniversal/brauzer-po-umolcaniu (written in russian, but there are pictures that can help you to understand).
If someone finds the solution, please write it here. Thank you.

Hey,

Any chance we could get a Thunderbird 3.3 (Miramar Alpha 1) Portable Build ?

Thanks,

Will

I have a folder that is 188 MB. When I open Thunderbird, it rebuilds that msf file it tells me that I only have 27 messages in the folder. I know that there are a lot more than that.

I have tried deleting the msf file and restoring it from a backup. The msf for the backup file rebuilds with only 27 messages as well.

Is there a way to get the entire folder back or is it a total loss?

Thanks

Greetings to the list.

I have become such a fan of the flexibility and versatility of Thunderbird Portable that I am now wondering why one should bother with the standard Thunderbird at all. True, Tbird Portable is slower on a flash drive than the standard installation is on a hard drive, but if one is willing to sacrifice speed, why not go with the portable version? This question may strike experienced users as naive, but I wonder what one really loses by foregoing the standard version.

Thunderbird portable 3.1.6 on Win 7 Ultimate.

Till now it worked well for me. But today a tragedy happened...

Here's the thing. My business mailbox just exceeds its quota, so I log in on my browser, and removed all my mails (hundreds of them) in the inbox. After this I checked Thunderbird, and to my surprise, all mails in the inbox disappeared too!!!

My inbox policy is set to "save all the messages" and apparently this mechanism failed somehow.

Could anybody provide a solution to retrieve the mails??? Any suggestion is appreciated!!

Since I have finally gotten internet service at home, I would like to use Thunderbird fully installed on my PC. Is there any way to transfer my profiles, mail, etc to the version installed locally? I saw one method mentioned, but that was over 3 years ago, and I'm not sure if the file/directory structure has changed or not. Suggestions?

I used to run Mozilla Thunderbird Portable from a U3 launchpad preinstalled on my Sandisk cruzer 16GB. Unfortunately I broke the cruzer but, luckily, I was able to recover all the data as they were phisically stored on it (now safely on a folder of my laptop). Question is: how can I transfer all back on another USB memory card (which doesn't have U3 installed) and run Thunderbird Portable as before with the same old data in it?

I do not want to copy the data of my desktop profile. Can I do this?
