Escape characters for paths in NSIS

Submitted by nnewton on June 10, 2009 - 2:57am

Is this still an unresolvable issue with the NS installer?

https://portableapps.com/node/4530

I just installed the portable GPG and Enigmail and the path to my gpg.exe is being changed when I exit TB. The path for my TB includes a directory starting with a lowercase n, NSIS seems to turn this into some control character when it saves back to the "extensions.enigmail.agentPath" line in pref.js. Works fine with an uppercase N though.

folders getting new mail from message filters do not show new mail

Submitted by mydiskdrive on June 8, 2009 - 11:20am

i have a bunch of folders with filters sorting incoming mail into these folders.

the folders are not showing that there is new mail in them until i click on each one and it "builds file summary"

I think the problem has to do with switching from vista/win7 and xp. I first started using on xp and all is fine, then when i started switching from xp and vista I first noticed it happening. and now that i switch from win7 and xp I see it all the time.

has this been noticed by anyone else? is there a fix?

Profilübernahme, Folter für User

Submitted by zizherz on June 5, 2009 - 11:02am

Wieder mal hänge ich schon seit Stunden an der Profilübernahme von TB local auf TBP.
Kenne mitlerweile jeden Profileordner der auf meinem Rechner rumliegt.
Nur welcher gehört wo hin?????? Alle bisherrigen kombinationen schlugen fehl.
Weiß denn jemand wie es wirklich geht? Bitte nicht auf die TB hilfeseite verweisen, was da steht hab ich schon 100 mal durchexerziert.
Gibt es für diese Sachen nicht ein Tool? SkypePortable macht solche Sachen z.B. selbst. Ach wie herrlich.........

Portable Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 doesn't find K-Meleon 1.5.3

Submitted by daanhoog on May 30, 2009 - 3:28am

Recently I switched from Firefox to K-Meleon as my default browser. And although K-Meleon is reported to Windows XP as my default browser, Portable Thunderbird doesn't open it when clicking on a hyperlink.

How can I let Portable Thunderbird know that it has to open K-Meleon? Both programs are not used 'portable'; I installed them on my hard disk into my desktop PC.

Thank you very much for your help, regards, Daniel

Please help: Thunderbird portable crashed & broken

Submitted by cmmehl on May 28, 2009 - 2:33am

Hello experts,

I had a computer crash and as a result, my thunderbird portable has suffered. When I start it, it offers me to set up an account. On the other hand, also given the size of the folders, all mail and so on still seem to be there. So I presume it must be my profile or so that is damaged / gone.

It doesn't ask me for the password

Submitted by xavierot on May 27, 2009 - 10:32am

Hi everybody. I dont know what happens, but it's impossible to connect with the servers. I tried with a gmail account, and also with another personal .net account, and nothing. Every time I try to send/receive email, the message "could not connect to server xxxxx: theconnection was refused" appears.
I'm using it at the company I work... maybe there is a kind of firewall or something...? Ah, and it doesn't ask me for the account password!
help please!

Problems Running TBP under Wine in Ubuntu

Submitted by Augi on May 19, 2009 - 12:22pm

I installed Ubuntu (9.04) onto my laptop. Wine (1.0.1) was able to run some of my PA. The important programs, Thunderbird Portable and Keepass, worked. I run TBP this morning and it freezes at the program start. In the System Monitor, it labels thunderbird.exe as "Zombie" with waiting channel "do_exit". I found this when running through the terminal:

wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x0000002c at address 0x5221af (thread 0037), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: page fault on write access to 0x0000002c in 32-bit code (0x005221af).

will not download mail

Submitted by vancouverabbey on May 16, 2009 - 4:36am

I am using a gmail account through Thunderbird.

I had problems with my first Thunderbird install after I downloaded the messages from the server (messages were downloaded but left on server). I deleted the Thunderbird folder completely and did a new install. Then I added my gmail account again and this time it says there are no new messages.

How do I get it to download the messages that are there? In my portable Thunderbird I have zero messages in my inbox but 200 in gmail and I want those in thunderbird.
