My wife, Anne, and I both use Thunderbird Portable (running from separate USB sticks on the same machine) for our email. But we can't have two instances of TB running at the same time so if one of us wants to check our email we have to close the other person's instance of TB first.
I understand that using the "standard" version of TB, multiple instances are possible by adding a command line parameter but of course the PortableApps menu doesn't allow for these.
Is there any way to make it possible to run multiple instances of TB Portable?
Regards
Nick

There's an INI option built in. Head to ThunderbirdPortable\Other\Source and check out the example ThunderbirdPortable.ini config file (which must be moved to work) and the readme.txt that explains it.
Keep in mind that when enabled, it is not truly portable and will leave bits behind on the local PC.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Have now found and copied the .ini file, thanks.
