Thunderbird Portable

As you know when users click on a "mailto:....." link on a web page the corresponding local email client is called and pre-filled with the given email address.

Unfortunately Thunderbird Portable does to register itself in Windows as a possiible mailto Handler.

So I cannot select it as a target program.

Is there a workaround for that?

Thank you

Hi

I use TBp 52.4.0 with win 10

Is it possible to add a parameter for the launcher to start the thunderbird.exe with a higher priority
like this :
cmd.exe /c start "Thunderbird" /high "D:\t\TB\ThunderbirdPortable.exe"
this will only start the thunderbirdportable.exe with the prior 'high' but not the thunderbird.exe
or with a parameter within settings.ini

thanks
kind regards

Since I want to use Thunderbird Portable from an USB flash drive the drive letter and path could change from time to time resp. computer to computer.

When I go now to Account Settings----Account---->>Server Settings
then the local directory is specified as ABSOLUTE path:

D:\tools\ThunBirdPort\Data\profile\Mail\pet345@hotmail.com

Hallo,
i need Help again...
I´d sync my Fritz.box Disk (User Doc´s and TB) with our new qnap-. NAS- Disk.
After then, if i start one of the Thunderbird´s from the Fritz.Box (NAS) Disk coming ever the ERROR
"Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first stop the existing Thunderbird process or restart your computer."

Assume I just installed the newest TB Portable on Win 7.
I did not define any accounts until now.

Now I have an external file samplemsg.eml which I extracted from another email client program resp. got from a Thunderbird installation on another computer.

Now I want to view the content of this samplemsg.eml email with TB Portable:

How can I do this?

Dragging it onto the TB Portable window does not help.
I miss a menu "open message file" or similar.

By default normal (non-portable) Thunderbird has a default profile folder.

Where is this profile folder located in the Portable Thunderbird installation?

Assume I want to define now a second, own profile folder inside a Portable Thunderbird installation folder like

D:\tools\PortThunderbird\myprofile123\

How can I achieve this?

When I call the ProfileManager for the normal, non-portable Thunderbird then the PM creates a "redirect" file "profiles.ini" with the location of the actual new profile.

I just tried to upgrade to ThunderbirdPortable_52.4.0_English and at end of upgrade got BSOD (blue screen of death). Downloaded and reinstalled same software. The install went OK but when I started TB - same result. Backed out by downloading and installing ThunderbirdPortable_52.3.0_English and all was back to normal. Anyone else seen this issue?

I have a 7 to 8 accounts and all their settings created on the portable apps version of Thunderbird on a USB. I am wanting to move that data to my Desktop PC (new machine) where I've installed a fresh copy of Thunderbird. The new machine doesn't seem to detect that data.

Shouldn't it if the USB is connected to the same PC?

just installed Thunderbird Portable Version: 55.0b2 (32-bit) onto a 32GB memory stick. Set it up fine on my desktop pc, all working. Put stick in another pc, run thunderbird.exe from stick and up comes a new installation, not my emails and email accounts. How do I make it truly portable and pick up my emails from any pc using my stick. Help would be appreciated, thanks. Mike. ps. running Windows 10 on both computers.

Opened Thunderbird Portable at work this morning, per usual, and was asked by Thunderbird if I wanted to create a new e-mail account. I did not, as I was perfectly happy with the 4 I already have. Or, had, as all of my accounts have disappeared. They were most certainly there yesterday! I cannot see anything wrong with the profile folder, and I ran a CHKDSK on the drive and no errors were reported.
