Thunderbird Portable

I had been running T3 Beta's very successfully ever since it was released on Portable apps. I upgraded to T3B4 as soon as it was available and it worked great. Had profile-malfunction last week that eventually dictated a clean install of T3B4. Immediately noticed that it ran very sluggish, taking 3-5 seconds to show an email as selected once clicked and taking as much as 15 seconds to display or delete an email. Copied over all emails from the previous profiles with no change.

I am not sure where this bug should go, because I have changed too many things at once. My office computer now uses Windows 7 64-bits, and I read e-mail on Thunderbird 3 beta 4 Portable installed on PortableApps 2 beta 3.

I know I only need to click once on programs listed in the PortableApps window; but sometimes I doubleclick by error. When I doubleclick on Thunderbird Portable, I get the following error message (translated from French):
"You are trying to open Thunderbird from a read-only location... This does not work."
Then, it closes.

'm using Thunderbird under Windoze XP SP3

Following recent posts from me about importing from Eudora, imported messages ended up in "local folders" as opposed to being located with the relevant email address - I use three. I have been able to copy two sets of folders to sit with the relevant email address and then deleted the duplicate folders from "local folders"

When I highlight a photo in my laptop and right click on it then in the context menu that pops up I would like to choose Send To and then Mail Recipient and have a new message open in Thunderbird with the photo as an attachment. The reason for this is that in the process in can choose to have the photo resized for email. It worked like this nicely for Outlook when I had it installed.

may be a stupid question, sorry for that :

Is it normal that Thunderbird Portabl 2.0.0.23 is rebuilding the index every time I switch computers. Its odd that the application even registers the change of computers if it truly portable. Do I have a setting wrong. Also I don't think I noticed this in older versions.

any input appreciated

Hi,

I've installed TBP on a D: local drive. After copying my former local TB profile contents into TBP's "\Data\profile" folder, TBP is running smoothly with all my previous extensions & settings intact. Awesome indeed !!! :))

Now, while it's running well it's not truly "portable" yet - it's still using the same outside mailstore folder previously used by local TB.

I'd like to move the mailstore into TBP's directory tree, and so I'd like to have some pointers on the following:

1. Where exactly to place the mailstore inside TBP's directory tree, AND

Hey Guys ,

I have never had a problem with RSS feeds on the desktop edition, but I have not received any RSS feeds in the portable edition. They are the exact same feeds and I have had this problem for three months. I need help. I just want my feeds.

had TB local on Win98 machine (which is no more), created TB portable on flash drive which I am using but now want to give up flash and install local on machine using XP Pro. How?
