Thunderbird Portable

According to Mozilla's Thunderbird ESR Overview page, the EOL for v10 was FEB 12. That would mean the v10.0.12 PortableApp is the final one.

Is there a plan to release a portable v17 ESR? Currently at 17.0.3, I believe.

Thank you!

When I have RunLocally set to true, so that it copies my data to my PC and then copies it back afterwards (to ease load on my USB) the Launcher doesn't get past the splash-screen. Can somebody help! I am running PA.c 12.0 beta 2 if this helps, and my INI is as follows:


[ThunderbirdPortable]
ThunderbirdDirectory=App\thunderbird
ThunderbirdExecutable=thunderbird.exe
AdditionalParameters=
GPGPathDirectory=App\gpg
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
RegistryDirectory=Data\registry
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
GPGHomeDirectory=Data\gpg


When i try to install Locale Switcher, Thunderbird say:
"Locale Switcher could not be installed because it is not compatible with Thunderbird 17.0.3"

How can I switch to different language?

My USB drive had a hardware problem and I grabbed a new one and restored from my most recent backup. All is there except it didn't bring over my address book. I had about 40 names in the address book. abook.mab on the new drive shows 2kb size. Is that about the right size for 40 entries? If I wind up restoring from earlier back-ups, how do I import just the address book without overwriting anything else?

I run Thunderbird Portable on an portable external hard disk. I've used it w my XP computer w/o problems. I just tried it w my new Acer 5750Z-4835 computer running Windows 7 and it says:

"Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system."

When I check the processes using Task Manager I don't see any Thunderbird process running.

Thanks for any leads!

3 in 1:

1st)
The splash screen of the app shows a link to portableapps.com/go/thunderbirdportable which like is dead.

2nd)
You have Sunbird 1.0 and Lightning 1.0 on your site. Mozilla recommends instead of both the actual Lightning extension for Thunderbird (current version 1.9) which is of course totally portable and compatible with your version of Thunderbird.

Getting Mozilla Crash Reporter pop-up. Text is "We're Sorry Thunderbird had a problem and crashed. To help us diagnose and fix the problem, you can send us a crash report". Two boxes are checked, "Tell Mozilla about this crash so they can fix it" and "Allow Mozilla to contact me about this report". I entered my e-mail address where indicated, and clicked "Quit Thunderbird". "There was a problem submitting report" is then displayed in the crash pop-up. So, I can't submit any useful debugging information, and I can't open Thunderbird.

Hello.
What I say, when I close TB, it create a folder on local drive like:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Applications\Thunderbird\Profiles\default\7pp8uloy.slt\wf6dtz9c.slt\Mail\Smart Mailboxes
There are no files in it only the folders.

Even when I deleted this path, next time I start and then close TB, its the same result.

Is there anybody with an idea to stop this or to change setting or something else??

Thank you for help.

When I tried to launch TBP from the PortableApps menu, the menu
disappeared (expected) but nothing else happened. (Not expected since
I usually see the splash screen within seconds of launch.) I checked
with Windows Task Manager to see if anything launched anyway, but it
doesn’t show up on the list of active processes either.

After drilling down to the folder containing the app, I doubleclicked
the .exe file and got this error message:

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version
of Windows you’re running. Check your computer’s system

I have been using the extension Dictionary Switcher for long time as I do have to write texts in different languages.

This extension is not compatible with recent versions of TB and FF and also the dictionaries have different format now and are not compatible with the Dictionary Switcher.

Can someone advise me of something similar? I would like to simply select between the different languages when writing a text.
