Thunderbird Portable

Android & Windows PC

Submitted by Avril Johnson on October 25, 2016 - 6:36am

It may be somewhere in the blurb, but I've failed to find anything to tell me if I can use the Thunderbird Portable app on both PC (laptop & netbook) and Android (Tablet & Phone), in which case I'll use an OTG Flash Drive for my download. Anyone know, please?

Accepted event invitation did not populate Lightning calendar

Submitted by PetersT on October 11, 2016 - 6:44am

I have the Lighting calendar add-on in my Thunderbird portable. In the past, when I received an email that was an invitation to an event, I would click the Accept button, and the event would populate the appropriate day on my Lightning calendar. However, this past week, when I accepted an event, instead of populating Lightning, it populate the calendar provided by my email service, Outlook on the web (specifically, Office 365 Business Essentials).

Thunderbird clean install RAM ~160MB

Greetings.
I plan to migrate from Outlook Express, Thunderbird is one of the candidates.
My computer is old, OS XP, and I format it with frequency, then a portable software would be very convenient.
The problem is that I just download the portable Thunderbird here in portableapps and installed, clean program is consuming around 160MB, even after disabled Lightning and offline mode.
When I run it, open two applications in the task manager, thunderbird.exe (~ 160MB) and ThunderbirdPortable.exe (~ 6MB).

From where besides Default Programs and besides under Options, Advanced, Config Editor, is ThunderbirdPortable finding FirefoxP?

Subject: From where besides Default Programs, and besides under Options, Advanced, Config Editor, is ThunderbirdPortable finding FirefoxPortable?
This is about Thunderbird 45.3.0, not Firefox. Just so you know, I asked this first of Mozilla and was told in full: "Thunderbird passes the hyperlink to the operating system to the default handler (Browser) anything else is portable apps magic." So here I am at the magical PortableApps. Smile

Message filters have stopped working after Thunderbird 45.3.0 upgrade

Submitted by PetersT on August 31, 2016 - 1:14pm

My message filters seem to have stopped working since I was prompted for, and installed, update 45.3.0. I have tried running them manually to no effect. Is there possibly a bug in this upgrade? Or, is there something else I can try in order to get them working again.

Hi. I'm using version 45.2.0 of Thunderbird for Portable Apps. I began a long discussion at mozilla support but nothing where solved. The last post suggest me to look here for help.

So I'm doing this. I just copy/paste the first post in that FORUM, and after this I will offer the link to the mozilla discussion. There you can find a lot of images that explain what are happening.

make 2.0.04 portable?

Submitted by wanderer on August 11, 2016 - 10:28am

Hi!
Currently using Outlook Express under XP; being obliged to change OS, I am thinking to use Thunderbird; two needs:

1. I have all my OE mail (folders / account/ etc) in an encrypted file I carry on my keyring-attached USB drive, so I can use all of my mail at home, office, everywhere...

2. I only like Thunderbird 2.0.0.4; (tried newer version and didn't like them).

How can I make the same life with Thunderbird?

Thanks everyone Smile

Thunderbird 45.2.0 Constantly Crashing

Submitted by NotMine on July 23, 2016 - 9:06am

I have Thunderbird 45.2.0 Portable Apps version installed on a USB2 device that contains a SSD drive.

I run Kaspersky A-V on Windows 7, both fully updated. I have no plans to install Windows 10...ever.

When I load Thunderbird off the PortableApps Launcher or even by directly executing the "portable" wrapper exe, the program starts to consume memory...and eventually lots of it.
