Thunderbird Portable

I configured mailto links to go to Thunderbird Portable. This works fine if Thunderbird is closed. However if Thunderbird is already open, then I get an error message when clicking on an email link: 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.

My registry settings for the mailto command --
Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command to:
Value: "r:\ThunderbirdPortable\ThunderbirdPortable.exe" "%1"

Hello,
I think I found an omission in the portable thunderbird version. When I do a "Detach" of a mail attachment, the attachment is saved correctly, but (even when I save it in a subdirectory of the portable thunderbird) the path in the mail is stored as an absolute path (e.g. U:\ThunderbirdPortable\Attachments\Filename.doc
When I want to read the mail/attachment on another computer, the attachment is not found by the mailer.

Dear All,
I want to start a brand new TB on a new device but I would like to populate Personal Address Book with the contents of a correctly formatted tab-delimited text file. Using Import, whatever I try to do, all I can manage is a new named Address Book additional to Personal Address Book, while PAB remains empty, as does Collected Addresses. Any ideas? Thank you.

Is this still an unresolvable issue with the NS installer?

https://portableapps.com/node/4530

I just installed the portable GPG and Enigmail and the path to my gpg.exe is being changed when I exit TB. The path for my TB includes a directory starting with a lowercase n, NSIS seems to turn this into some control character when it saves back to the "extensions.enigmail.agentPath" line in pref.js. Works fine with an uppercase N though.

i have a bunch of folders with filters sorting incoming mail into these folders.

the folders are not showing that there is new mail in them until i click on each one and it "builds file summary"

I think the problem has to do with switching from vista/win7 and xp. I first started using on xp and all is fine, then when i started switching from xp and vista I first noticed it happening. and now that i switch from win7 and xp I see it all the time.

has this been noticed by anyone else? is there a fix?

Wieder mal hänge ich schon seit Stunden an der Profilübernahme von TB local auf TBP.
Kenne mitlerweile jeden Profileordner der auf meinem Rechner rumliegt.
Nur welcher gehört wo hin?????? Alle bisherrigen kombinationen schlugen fehl.
Weiß denn jemand wie es wirklich geht? Bitte nicht auf die TB hilfeseite verweisen, was da steht hab ich schon 100 mal durchexerziert.
Gibt es für diese Sachen nicht ein Tool? SkypePortable macht solche Sachen z.B. selbst. Ach wie herrlich.........

Recently I switched from Firefox to K-Meleon as my default browser. And although K-Meleon is reported to Windows XP as my default browser, Portable Thunderbird doesn't open it when clicking on a hyperlink.

How can I let Portable Thunderbird know that it has to open K-Meleon? Both programs are not used 'portable'; I installed them on my hard disk into my desktop PC.

Thank you very much for your help, regards, Daniel

Hello experts,

I had a computer crash and as a result, my thunderbird portable has suffered. When I start it, it offers me to set up an account. On the other hand, also given the size of the folders, all mail and so on still seem to be there. So I presume it must be my profile or so that is damaged / gone.
