Thunderbird Portable 643h13

Slow Thunderbird, even on my local hard drive 5r4x45

Submitted by Chris Rust on July 27, 2006 - 6:25pm

I've just started using Portable Thunderbird and it has really solved a lot of problems for me working between two computers on two sites. However it is slow to open messages and painfully slow to delete them, hanging up the whole program until it's finished the task.
I'm using a Lacie USB2 hard drive and wondered if there was a cacheing delay of some kind (there seems to be some energetic HD or fan action on my office PC every time I do a delete) but I've now tried running PB in a briefcase folder on my laptop's own hard drive and that seems just as slow.

Any ideas?

PTB have some problems with some extensions for TB 94l3p

Submitted by goranpasic on July 26, 2006 - 6:07pm

I try to use some extensions (made for TB - desktop version) , and they work just fine! But I have problem with this ext. (mozilla_calendar-0.2.0.20060116-fx+tb-windows.xpi)...
PTB cant start (you must run it twice), in the Task manager U usage 100%
Later I uninstal this ext. but the damage is done. Any time I try to run this app. the problem remains.
I know that some of you will say , why dont use Portable Sunbird instead! But I try to use it bullit-in with PTB... and failed!
It would be nice to have some list of safe extension for PTB

PTB leaves a stub behind on host PC? q251i

Submitted by peanut butter on July 23, 2006 - 2:28pm

I was cleaning out the registry on one of my computers, and noticed to my surprise that PTB showed up in it. It's under the key:

HKEY_CURRENT_\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Unreail\[email protected]
(the email address above isn't real, of course)

Where the string named Application has the value:
"G:\Apps\PortableThunderbird\App\thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -profile "G:\Apps\PortableThunderbird\Data\profile" -mail

Luckily I haven't used PTB on any public computers yet, but the fact that my email address is left behind on a host PC worries me. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Update Portable Thunderbird using a mar file nq73

Submitted by MeToo on July 11, 2006 - 7:38am

Please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere (the Search engine can't find it if it has)

Has anyone been able to update Portable TB 1.5.0.2 to 1.5.0.4 using a mar file? (The advantage is that the mar file is 510k oposed to the full 6Mb installer)

Opening links in Portable Firefox 63337

Submitted by colmed01 on July 11, 2006 - 4:49am

Is there a method of forcing Portable Thunderbird to open HTML links in Portable Firefox instead of the default Windows browser.

I'm running both Thunderbird & Firefox on a USB drive, on a PC at work, and don't want to use the installed IE as my browser. DUe to restrictions I can't (and don't want to) chanmge the default browser.
