Does anyone have any information on when or if Sunbird Portable will have a U3 version available?

I ported Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice to U3 as part of a development contract with U3, paying for the development and certification time it required. Any other apps would be on my own time and, at the moment, it makes more sense for me to focus on the standard portable apps as they run from any drive (U3 or not) and are much more popular (about 20x more downloads of the standard versions than the U3 versions). That said, I'm working with U3 on making the U3 apps a bit more self-sustaining, so it is a future possibility.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks for the input. Very interesting. I would like Sunbird Portable to startup upon insersion.

This works; it has worked with other PortableApps that are not U3-specific. Effectively, one installs the standard portable version (I do it in a subdirectory of the U3 System folder, e. g., N:\System\Apps\STDAPPS\appname\), then use the instructions given elsewhere in the forum to create an entry in the U3 launcher listing. I have done this with things like GanttProject and so on, and have not experienced any problems; with Sunbird, I had no problem after I (1) slept, (2) woke up and (3) corrected a spelling error. Bingo! A U3-launched version of Sunbird.
So? how can i make my sunbird work with the u3p system? None of the post say how.
