Thunderbird Portable

I have both Thunderbird standard and portable editions on my computer (obviously one on my hard drive and the portable not "installed"). Both are v2.0.0.23 and both have master password enabled.

When I try to open the standard Thunderbird, the popup comes up and asks me for my password. I cannot see the contents of my email accounts. I type in the password in the popup and up comes my Thunderbird program with my accounts there.

Hi all,

I'm unable to connect to the server to retrieve my e-mails. When asked for the password I get the message - "Sending password did not succeed. Mail server pophost.123.co.uk responded: Login failed."
I use exactly the same settings as on my desktop Thunderbird. Changing from pop to imap doesn't work.
Is there anything I can do or do I need to contact 123.co.uk?

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Just installed the TB3 beta on my flash drive in the default location (\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortableTest) and it keeps asking to make itself the default client on startup, regardless of whether that option is on or off in the preferences.

Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate final (7600), TB version is 3.0b4, although I had this issue with 3.0b3 as well. Drive is a 16GB JumpDrive FireFly; while I don't think that matters (all mass storage devices are the same to the operating system), might as well be thorough, right?

I downloaded and installed Thunderbird Portable on a USB stick and tried it out at home and it worked fine. Could send and receive emails without any problems.

I went to a friends house, using a different internet provider. I could still receive emails but could not send. I kept getting an smtp error. The program asked for a password and everything but I still could not send from a remote location with a different internet provider.

I went to another friends house using the same internet provider that I use and I could send and receive emails without any problems.

Hi there

I've just had an email sort out, merging my old Eudora database into a new Portable Thunderbird instance, and then loading back my pre-existing Portable Thunderbird data from the original instance.

The new instance is version 2.0.0.23 (20090812).

All now runs well except the new instance of Portable Thunderbird I've created behaves differently from the old one in that on opening the new one it does NOT ask if I want to connect or not - just goes ahead and does it!

We have part-time employees using different pc's. Any of the pc is mainly used by a fullt-time employee. Any of the pc's has a local installation of TB for the full-timer.

I now thougt, it would be a nice idea to have TB portable for the part-timers to be able to use it on any of the pc's. It doesn't seem to work.

If i start TB portable from usb it offers the locally installed profiles.

Is there really no way to combine local and portable "installations" on one single pc?

At present I just want to use Thunderbird Portable as an address book. Can I stop the program asking me to set up email setting when I open the app.

Hi all,

I want to manage my emails portable and be able to use the USB flash drive (stick) on Linux and Windows machines, while having only one "email database" on the stick. Is this possible? I think I can put a the Linux and the Windows version of Thunderbird Portable on the stick and start the appropriate version, but what is the best way to set up the email database?

Thanks

Does anyone know how soon Portable Thunderbird 3 for Mac will be available? I really need it, I overwrote my Portable Thunderbird 2 profile by mistake and am screwed if 3 isn't coming along really soon. Plus I like the new Thunderbird 3 beta for Mac so having it Portable would rock.

Thanks!

Hi. Can we get an official Thunderbird 3 Beta 4 build please. Thanks much. Appreciate it.
