[Thunderbird] How to use ONLY P:\ drive?

| Pawel Debski 2006-02-03, 5:47 pm |
| Folks,
In my system flash card is visible as drive P:\
I have installed Thunderbird on P:\Programs\Mozilla\Thunderbird to be =
able to detach the card go to the other machine that is connected to the =
Internet, attach it there, download my mail via POP3 and than come back =
to my (disconnected) machine and read it.
Unfortunately Thunderbird keeps my profile in C:\Documents and =
Settings\pdebski\Application Data\Thunderbird. I have moved tha content =
of this directory to P:\Programs\Mozilla\MailProfiles.
How can I make Thunderbirda not to touch C:\ drive, but use =
P:\Programs\Mozilla\MailProfiles instead?

Thanks Ed. That's what I was looking for. I have also found another =
solution:
thunderbird -profile =
" P:\Programs\Mozilla\MailProfiles\Profile
s\l5lp7bhh.default"
In my opinion it should even be better since "protable" version will =
inevitably lag behind the standard version. Or is it also a part of =
mainstream development?
What's your opinion?
Best regards

It's not put out by Mozilla Org but, rather, packaged by an individual.
So, it will lag a little bit but I don't think by too much. The
advantage of the Portable version is that you can use it on any computer
even if it doesn't have TB installed.

John updated pretty regularly. TB seems to be lagging a little behind.
If you install the 1,5 RC1 he offers, and run it on your home machine,
it will auto update to 1.5 final.

Done it. Works. I am now enthusiastic about Portable TB.
Many thanks to John T. Haller and the whole Mozilla team. Anyone who'd =
be passing by Poland is invited for a beer.
