Since the Thunderbird team seems to be uncooperative with PortableApps.com and giving assistance to Mr. Haller, might I suggest a portable fork for Claws Mail?
It's free, open source, carries multiple accounts, is continually updated and looks like a good alternative to Thunderbird.
It's also is an offshoot of Sylpheed, which hasn't been updated here in two years.

If a volunteer would like to take it, great. I don't have time at present.
The Thunderbird devs are just fine. Fixes will be discussed in other threads.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
And yet you don't really have a viable email client to offer. Opera Mail and Sylpheed are still listed, yet development on them has stopped. Why are they still there?
I would think that replacing them with an alternative would be a priority, imo...
Please feel free to volunteer your time and package it up for a test!

I'd love to if I knew code.
You could also help test this Firefox patch: https://portableapps.com/node/60496
The same one will be used to update Thunderbird so extensions are fully portable post version 68.

I tested the Firefox patch. See my comments in the other thread.
It's been a few weeks, so when is that happening?
It looks like Thunderbird no longer has any interest in helping out with a portable version.
Again, I suggest Claws as an alternative.
I was recovering from COVID-19-like symptoms. I didn't want to do Thunderbird of SeaMonkey until I was 100% mentally as they involve quite a few changes.

I hope you get better
