Thunderbird Portable

Hey, I am desperate now, please read carefully:

I want to use ThunderbirdPortable 2.0.0.21 and FirefoxPortable 3.0.7 on Windows XP Professional on my laptop as the default Interet and E-mail instead of the local versions.
Unfortunatelly I had this thought after I had installed TB/FF Local versions. Now to my shame I can't remember if I uninstalled TB/FF Local first and then created the TB/FF Portable versions or the other way round.

What I want is:
1) TB/FF Portable as default Internet and E-Mail
2) accessible through start menu (set via start menu properties>customize)

Hello,

I updated to the newest versions of portableapps and thunderbird but the problem is still there.

In Thunderbird i used several addons which worked for long time. After upgrading thunderbird some time ago, new addon-versions were needed. After downloading them, I installed them as usual, but thunderbird did not finish installation, as it does not recognize the restart.

When i look under the addons the message stays the same: Will be installed after restart !

I am using Windows XP SP2 and Mozilla ThunderbirdPortable on USB key

Yesterday I compact my mail-folders with Thunderbird Portable and since that I am unable to use it. I get an error message from Windows what is strange for me.
I suppress the ThunderbirdPortable folder and reinstall the software but I get the same message.
I am also surprised by the fact that ThunderbirdPortable appears in one key of the registry.
How can I solve this problem ?
Many thanks for the answer.

I have been searching the forums on how to make Portable TB as host default email program. I thought i had seen something on this topic before but can not find it. Can you point me in the right direction please

I have TBP 2.0.0.17. It seems that I only have 2 options when receiving attachments and that is to manually click toopen them or send them to a folder which I specify.

I'm used to Eudora for 12 years and it would automatically send the attachment to the folder I preset AND still allow me to open it at will.

Is there any way to do that with TBP 2.0.0.17

I've just updated the TBP on my thumb drive to v2.0.0.19 and my Portable Apps Platform to v1.5. While I was at it, I decided I'd make some improvements to the way my portable apps are set up. But it isn't working as I'd intended and I can't figure out why.

Hello,

it all sounds so promising in the beginning - download thunderbird portable - but the Thunderbird Portable Live special ini to the application and store everything on CD - so easy....well that was in the beginning.

In february Lycos Europe closed down their services and i spend lots of time finding a appropionate solution storing my mail account and was happy reading about Thunderbird Portable Live.So thanks to the easy Pop3 support downloading all my emails was a snap.Thanks at this point for the great customer friendly usage!

Hi,

After installing Thunderbird Portable I started loosing the swedish characters ÅÄÖ in the subject line of incoming emails.

I´ve also had recipients of my emails complaining that ÅÄÖ is replaced with weird statements like Å becomes "å".

Any idea what this might be?

In settings the character encodings are set to Western (8859-1). I think it is the same as when I had the regular Thunderbird. It might have been "Western Europe" but I cannot find this setting here.

ISO 8859-1 should be right I think.

Hi all,

I'm a bit confused here as what I'm about to say. You see, I'd like to be able to transfer all my emails and settings from my local Thunderbird into Thunderbird Portable. I've read the section in Thunderbird Portable Support about transferring the settings, I've followed the directions to where to get my local Thunderbird settings (I use Windows XP at the moment, so it's under the Documents And Settings folder). I checked the instructions again and it said to copy the files into the Data/Profile directory within Thunderbird Portable, that's where I'm getting confused.

Oi pessoal, to aqui tentando ajudar novamente. Instalei o Thunderbird em inglês no meu pen-drive, criei uma nova conta de e-mail, gostei e decidi passar para o português. Não tive vontade de instalar ele no meu pc, então não tinha como copiar todos os arquivos do programa para o pen. Eis a solução que encontrei:
