"Attachments" Item Missing from "File" Menu

Submitted by cwerner on October 3, 2010 - 5:42pm

Greetings to the forrum.

The "Attachments" item (the one that allows the user to open or save attachments) is missing from my "File" menu of ThunderbirdPorttable 3.1.4. The copy of 3.1.4 on my hard drive correctly displays this item. I'm puzzled and hope someone can explain what is going on.

Thank you very much.

TBP to TB

I have searched the forums and just can not seem to find an answer.

I have TBP setup and working quite well, I recently bought a Win7 laptop. I have installed TB onto it. Is there a way to copy over all my settings from TBP to TB? I read John's info on doing it from TB to TBP and tried to reverse the process but TB does not seem to recognize any of the accoounts or profiles I copied?

How to make TB Portable 314 smaller

Submitted by sweetnuttin on September 24, 2010 - 2:27pm

Hi Guys, (and other gals),

I have been using TB Portable 3.0.nn and just downloaded 3.1.4.
I actually use most all programs from PortableApps.com and run them from my HDD.
My question is this: In some of the newer versions of the pgms, there is included an application(?) launcher from PortableApps.com in the paf file, plus other files.

How do I, or What files can I delete from the installation/expansion of the paf file that is NOT needed to run the pgm from a HDD, without a portable apps menu system?

Thanks a bunch!
Sincerely,
SueN ;>)

Colon in the subject line confuses TB

Submitted by kxcooper on September 22, 2010 - 4:24am

After receiving an email with a colon in the subject line, e.g. "Latest news:
TB3 is the best", TB truncates the line at the colon and ignores the date in the following Date line in the header and displays 01/01/2000 12:00.

It does this in the 3 pane window which means I can't sort by date. Both the
message preview and separate message window display the correct date but still
truncate the subject line.

Thunderbird 3 USB Hard Drive Connection Issue

Submitted by moopf on September 22, 2010 - 3:53am

Hi,

I've been using portable Thunderbird on an external hard drive for years now and about 2 weeks ago upgraded to version 3. Since doing that I encountered an issue with my portable hard drive (Freecom) that manifested itself as Windows disconnecting and reconnecting the hard drive (although not always reconnecting unless I did it manually). The tell-tale windows USB connect/disconnect sounds play when this happens.

Filters fails ?

Submitted by Esgrimidor on September 14, 2010 - 6:32pm

I have portable spanish version. 3.1.3
I have defined filters.
But I observed some times some of the emails are received in the main folder, not in the filtered folder.

Is a known issue in the spanish version ?
How can I depure this problem ?

I redefined the filter, but again the filter fails some times.

TB and TBP sync? And: slow startup in public library

i have a computer at home, and sometimes it's connected to the internet and sometimes not.

for those times without, i tried TBP as found on portableapps, and went to use it in the public library. the start-up is really slow and sometimes the computer hangs... there's not much i can do, i don't have administrative rights on these machines and time is short.
(the computers are fast enough otherwise, i think the anti-virus is on some kind of paranoia mode or removable drives get triple checked or sth.)
