Thunderbird Portable

I want to download Thunderbird Portable to a flash drive. Is there any other software I heed to do prior to this?

Thank you

When I use Thunderbird Portable to read or send email from my college networked computer on campus, I get Server timed out. Is this a problem I can fix local, or is it the college server? How do I correct the problem?

Before I knew it, I got a popup from Thunderbird saying it had downloaded the new update and was going to install it either now, or "later". So I had no choice to cancel it... I clicked later and disabled the auto update in the options menu, but to no avail. At the next boot the updater worked and worked and... it launched just fine?

I shut it down, and started it again, and it worked just fine, again?

I tried my own local copy Thunderbird...and it worked fine... so that didn't get broken either...

I have problems starting 2 instances of Thunderbird (PortableApps and Local) at the same time. I have to start the Portable version first and then the Local one. The other way around doesn't function. Then I get an error message: "There is already one instance of Thunderbird started. Please shut down all of the other TB-instances first before you start Thunderbird, Portable Edition." (translated from German by me)

How does one get Thunderbird Portable to work behind a firewall and proxy? I have no problems using it a home but at work it will not. I have set the proxy options the same as I use for Firefox but it still will not connect.

Please how can I get rid of the padlock on my account? I need to know the file to delete to get rid of this.

I have a virus which is likely causing these problems but I can only read the emails once before the account is padlocked and then I can read none.

I am sorry if there an answer in the FAQs I did not find one.

Thanks

I just downloaded the Enigmail extension from ThunderbirdPortable´s support page and I get the wrong hash.

I get 31a1265e47e8737a1f5a1b8247634c88 but the official one is 0b81aa26b6609261b525e03f5dd0e3a5.

Do I have the wrong file of did John not update the Md5 hash?

I configured mailto links to go to Thunderbird Portable. This works fine if Thunderbird is closed. However if Thunderbird is already open, then I get an error message when clicking on an email link: Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system.

My registry settings for the mailto command --
Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command to:
Value: "r:\ThunderbirdPortable\ThunderbirdPortable.exe" "%1"

Hello,
I think I found an omission in the portable thunderbird version. When I do a "Detach" of a mail attachment, the attachment is saved correctly, but (even when I save it in a subdirectory of the portable thunderbird) the path in the mail is stored as an absolute path (e.g. U:\ThunderbirdPortable\Attachments\Filename.doc
When I want to read the mail/attachment on another computer, the attachment is not found by the mailer.

Dear All,
I want to start a brand new TB on a new device but I would like to populate Personal Address Book with the contents of a correctly formatted tab-delimited text file. Using Import, whatever I try to do, all I can manage is a new named Address Book additional to Personal Address Book, while PAB remains empty, as does Collected Addresses. Any ideas? Thank you.
