Thunderbird Portable

I am using TB Portable (60.9.0) on a computer that runs Windows 10.
The main reason I use a portable version is that I don't have admin privileges to install any software on the machine.

I would like to set Thunderbird as default mail client (i.e. when clicking email links I would like to directly use Thunderbird for composing a new message).

Unfortunately all solutions that I found here and more in general online suggest to: (1) install a non-portable Thunderbird version, so that that can be set as default mail client; or (2) change the Windows registry.

I would be thankful if anyone could help me out and tell me how to disable the splash screen for the Thunderbird Portable 2nd Profile App.

Neither exists a corresponding ini-file in the directory "Other\Source" nor does using such a file in the conventional suggested way work.

Hi everybody,

i have set up two thunderbird profiles, one that’s used by me (profile 1) and the other one used by my girlfriend (profile 2).

I take care of all programs and keep them up to date in our household. Unfortunately, when I install addons, do improvements, adjustments or fixes to thunderbird for profile 1 I have to do the same (often fiddly and pesky) process for profile 2 so that both thunderbird profiles benefit from my changes and stay on the same level.

Hi,
I set up a second TB profile using the PortableApps "2nd profile" version alongside my initial portable version and now would like to swap the profiles between the two so that I can eventually remove the 2nd Profile install entirely.

The main reason for setting up the 2nd profile was so I could convert my mailboxes to MailDir from MBox which was less appropriate for using TB via the cloud (OneDrive).

I know this isn't an AutoHotKey or Elgato StreamDeck support forum, but I'm having an issue with Portable Thunderbird specifically in regards to those apps & I thought I'd ask here in case someone had some insight...

Thunderbird 68, 32 & 64 bit now available at Mozilla. Doesn't work as an upgrade though although 68.1 will.
Don't have a clue what that has to do with portable conversion.

Good Day All.
Thunderbird portable.Windows XP
Using POP3.
I travel between two locations.
I have a Windows 10 64bit desktop at each location.
I have Thunderbird Portable on a Thumb Drive.
At each location I just plug in the Thumb Drive and launch Thunderbird portable.
Has worked well.
I also update the local machine at each location with SyncToy by syncing the “Mail” folder.
Two days ago when I arrived at one of the locations, my Desktop died shortly after boot-up.
DEAD!!

hi there, I just downloaded the app on my android but the exe file does not open.
how does it work on an android phone?
many thanks

Hi,

After an upgrade 2 or 3 months ago, the Thunderbird portable started to start-up with part of its window out of the computer screen.
After that I upgraded it 1 or 2 times, but the problem persist. Today I upgraded to version 60.8.0 (32-bit) (for Windows), but the problem, again, persist.

You can see how Thunderbird opens:

v60.8: In AppData, I get the folders Local\Thunderbird\updates and Roaming\Thunderbird\Pending Pings. Both empty. I have diabled updates in Thunderbird. No idea what the second one is exacly there for.
I use the following add-ons: Lightning, Manually Sort Folders, ImportExportTools.
Thunderbird Portable is located on a different partition than the system (and AppData). I never had an installed version of Thunderbird on this machine.
Shouldn't the launcher take care of these folders?
Am I doing anything wrong or is that known?
