Should Work
It should work as I test under Ubuntu 6.06 with Wine. Be sure you've updated to the latest release of Wine (0.9.29) and are running Sunbird Portable 0.3 (the help.html will tell you). I just verified it from a fresh install and it worked correctly.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Does Work - Thanks!
As soon as I updated my repositories to fetch from winehq, everything worked. Is there a way to change to a different, more legible font for all the apps? The default on my system invites eyestrain?
Thanks in advance,

Install Windows Fonts
If you install the Windows Fonts (Tahoma, Verdana, etc) it should work. I don't know how to do that under Ubuntu, though. When a Wine app can't find the appropriate font (and it can't w/o the Windows fonts installed) it uses your system default, I think. There might be a Wine setting for the default, but you'd have to check with the Wine site. If you find the answer for either or both, please let us know.
