Is Thunderbird a HTML reader ?

Submitted by patrick013 on February 22, 2010 - 12:19pm

Is Thunderbird an HTML email reader ? No matter which reader I use, Windows Live, Thunderbird, or SeaMonkey, I cannot view email offline with images displayed. Gmail looks great but offline reading at home is completely imageless. I'm letting images thru without blocking, etc. but it just doesn't want to work offline.

Is there a configuration switch somewhere I am missing ?

THX.

language

Over a year ago I upgraded Thunderbird Portable and my language setting changed from UK to American style, e.g. my waist basket became "trash".
I have just updated Thunderbird Portable to the latest version and it still has the American style. is there a way I can change it back to English/British?

Many thanks in advance

T'Bird Portable 3.0.1 - does not start up

Submitted by va3uv on February 20, 2010 - 8:27am

Hi Folks;

My problems with T'Bird portable started a couple of weeks ago (I WAS running T'Bird 2.x) off a USB drive. T'Bird just stopped working - wasn't able to invoke it at all.

So, I bought a brand new Kingston USB drive, installed T'Bird Portable 3.0.1 and for four days it worked just fine :). However, now when I try to invoke T'Bird all I get is the Splash screen and poof - nothing more!

All acounts disappered

Submitted by aijad on February 18, 2010 - 1:33pm

I forgot to close Thunderbird before shuting down computer (WinXP). And now, when I wish to open Thunderbird, it opens totally empty and asks to set up accounts, although I had several e-mail accounts there.
But the add-on Calendar (Lightning) is ok - it still has all the notes and events I had saved.

What could I do, to get back the mail accounsta nd all the mails and address book?

WINNT folder created on C: drive, is this a problem?

I did a search and I browsed through the FAQ so I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere already.

I'm running the latest Thunderbird Portable between Vista x32 and Win 7 x32 systems. I have configured the "Local Directory" path for all of the email accounts (under "Server Settings") and the "local folders" entry to point to the appropriate folder on my USB drive.

Different Profiles? Is it possible?

Submitted by getco on February 16, 2010 - 2:20pm

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that TB supports multiple profiles - but am not sure whether the Portable edition does or does not - and if it does how do I accomplish this.

The thing is that I'm using multiple email accounts for my different business ventures, and I hate it when I send an email using the wrong address because I like to keep my different businesses separated from each other.

Thank you in advance!

First, If this is answered somewhere please direct me there. I've been looking for a long while without success.

What I want to do is:
Run Thunderbird on several devices, a netbook, desktop, flashdrive, and so on...
And have an automated one click solutions to keep them all in sync.

Unfortunately IMAP accounts are out due to my work's accounts.

Thunderbird Win 7 64 bit CPU usage

Submitted by DenShaw on February 8, 2010 - 11:09am

I have the latest version of Thunderbird portable installed on a thumb drive and finding a some instability problems and high CPU usage. In Task Manager there two processes instances listed; one "thunderbird.exe *32" with about 50MB memory usage and continuous 13% CPU usage and one "thunderbirdportable.exe *32" with about 4.5MB memory usage and 0% CPU usage.

A check of the processes listed after exiting Thunderbird still shows they are still present and the cpu usage is the same. Restarting without using Task Manager to shut the processes down is not possible.
