Thunderbird Portable

I can't see images in incoming messages. However, if I forward the same message, in the drafting window I can see the graphics.
Also, when I send a text with color, in Sent I see it without color. What can be the reason?
TB 52.4 - Windows XP

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
Peter

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.
