Thunderbird Portable

Encrypted Thunderbird-Profile

Submitted by arrow on January 16, 2009 - 11:32am

Hi,

I have installed PortableApps-Base on my USB-Device the first time. Installed a few PortableApps applications like Firefox Portable, Thunderbird Portable and so on. The problem is that the Mozilla Profiles are saved in "plain-text"(not encrypted) on the USB-Device. So in case of loosing my stick everyone is able to look through all my emails and so on.

Besides the PortableApps applications I installed TrueCrypt and run it in Traveler-Mode. So from my point of view there a two alternative solutions to prevent others from watching my profile-data:

Hi guys

I know this is a base thunderbird issue but I find help is faster forthcoming than at other sites. Basically I need to install the SwitchProxy addon for Thunderbird so I access my email from my new job site.

I tried installing the night tester tools but that too requires Thunderbird 3 something.

Basically how was it I hack the rdf? I recall doing it with Firefox but can't recall how or find instructions. Thanks for you help guys.

Not Freeing Memory

Submitted by frankmarco on January 13, 2009 - 9:08am

Hello,
I am using portable apps (v1.0.0.0) with Thunderbird (v2.0.0.19) running from a USB flash drive.

However, I noticed that whenever I delete any emails that none of the memory is reclaimed. Therefore my usb drive is almost completely full.

Is there some setting I am missing or is this a known issue?

Thank You,
frankmarco

TB Local Directory for Server Settings Data

Submitted by JamesSoCal on January 12, 2009 - 10:56pm

When using TB/Properties/Server Settings/Local Directory a specific drive letter is specified for the folder path. For TB on a desktop or laptop this is fine but for PortableApps TB is there a way to specify the PortableApps TB folder path with the system changing the drive letter to match the location of the flash drive PortableApps is on for the machine it is running on. PA is a great app but when the flash drive is plugged into different machines it is not always assigned the same drive letter. It can be E on a basic machine or G, N, O, etc.
