Thunderbird Portable

The latest version, 38.7.2, is not what is requested through the download link on the PA page for Thunderbird. It is still coded for 38.7.1 and is labeled that way on the page. I was able to get 38.7.2 by copying the link and editing the 38.7.1 to 38.7.2 in it.

There are a lot of references in the profile folder to the current folder.
First there is ThunderbirdPortableSettings.ini with LastProfileDirectory. This looks ok.
But there are also references in files in the profile folder like
panacea.dat
compatibility.ini
extensions.ini
prefs.js
extensions.json
search.json
When I have everything on a stick and put it into another computer, all messages get downloaded again.
When it's the same drive and path, everything is fine.

Tried to use ThunderbirdPortable2ndProfile but does not seem to be set up to use the GPG Plugin. Couldn't find GPG and when given path it creates the keyrings and other files under Application Data\gnupg. When exit Thunderbird the gpg-agent.exe and gpg2.exe are left running. On exit the keyrings are left in Application Data\gnupg. Can this problem be verified?

I have not checked but SeamonkeyPortable2ndProfile may have the same problem.

Hi !!!

TB Portable Edition say that my USB is a read-only location. If I try to write, delete, make directories etc, I don't have any problem, only TB say it

I can't get Windows 10 to send mailto links to Thunderbird Portable. In the Windows 10 settings for mailto I am offered a few things I do not want, but no way to add my own preferred application. Nor can I find a TB setting to set itself as the default app for mailto links.

I use TB Portable, and for simplicity sake, instead of upgrading, I just download the new version and delete the old.

How do I keep the old keyconfig settings? I'd rather not have to remap the keys everytime I get a new version.

If Thunderbird v38.3.0 portable is closed and I click on an email link I get a pop up window asking me to open a new newsgroup account.
If Thunderbird is open and I click on an email link I get a new message opens with the link address filled in.

How come it doesn't work when Thunderbird is closed?

Running Windows 7 64 bit.

Hallo,
my major problem after update to TB 38.3.0 + Lightning 4.0.3 = EVERYTHING is gone, all accounts, all mails, ... nothing, TB starts from new.
Safe mode, disabling addons, going back to TB 38.2.0 - nothing helps. After transfer of /data/profile, local accounts are back in an new profile
Annybody an idea how I get back my accounts inkl. pop3 and imap.

THX in advance.

In Thunderbird 38.3.0 packaged by portableapps.com.
In Tools->Options->General: "When new message arrives" -> "Play a sound" (checkbox activated) clicking "browse" does nothing, and cant enter the path manually either.

Somehow my local folders have collapsed, and I can't reexpand them. Some I can see in explorer, but some are invisible. I use the portable version. thanks.parmil

When I tried to create a new folder with explorer in the default "local folders" folder on my hard drive, I am told there is already a folder with that name. That's what I mean by invisible.
