Thunderbird Portable

TB is following a common method of updating the software which is that it automatically identifies the availability of updates and then urges the user to perform the update. At least that is how mine has been set up. Portable apps has its' own method of identifying available updates and then urging the user to perform the update. Do these different methods conflict with each other. Is one or the other invalid or maybe we should say NOT applicable?

Considering changing from installed version of TB to a portable version. Can the profile from my installed and running instance of TB be moved to the portable version. If so how? Does the profile manager function properly on the portable version? If so how is it invoked?

I am a long-time user of SeaMonkey. I migrated when Netscape Navigator went under. I understand that the SM Mail interface is TB based. I also have vision issues and sometimes miss 'small but significant' options.

I'm having email download problems from my ISP and the response on the SM Mozillazine forum was to try ThunderbirdPortable to see if it could pull in mail.

One responder suggested I download Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition 52.8.0. Somehow I ended up with the more recent version.

Hello,

Thanks

I installed the portable plugin to ThunderbirdPortable\App\gpg. But TB 60.5 always requests to Install GnuPG since Enigmail states that it is NOT INSTALLED? But it is.

What am i doing wrong??

When I updated to TB 52.8 it kept some extra toolbar buttons from an old extension Toolbar Buttons that worked great, but wishing to add Copy/Paste I installed it again. Not only I did not get the new buttons, I lost the ones I had like Select All, Undo Redo Reset, Empty Trash, Not Junk etc. I find them crucial so I'll have to revert to an old TB version if I can't get them back. Starting with extensions disabled did not bring them back even after removing the newly downloaded Toolbar Buttons. Is there a Restore function for TB or a way to revert to a previous profile?

I run a 38.5ver portable app version of Thunderbird.

I've got it customized with a couple of addons, and use it occasionally on multiple computers in an IMAP configuration on all computers.

Works flawlessly.

Today, it seem like it 'updated' something, but when I looked to the changelog for updates, for 38.5 the updates were from 2015. 3 things, two of which was a security fix, and some sort of 256 something compatibility with microsoft.

I've got 'check for updates' turned off. So what happened today?

There is a bug in the PortableApps.(sorry for bad english...)
The full path to the Calendar-App is stored in "addonStartup.json.lz4" File within the driveletter.
This file will not be changned by the launcher.
So you move from one Computer to the next and the driverletter changes Thunderbird-portable
would not find the App. So there is no Calendar etc. I have try to fix it but now luck (dont know where I can
put in the "search and change" for this file.

I need to update my Thunderbird as described in the title. I tried upgrading directly to 60.2.1 but the upgrade did not go over the existing program. Instead, it wanted me to 'create a new account.'

How can I get from 38.5 to 60.2 and keep my existing settings, emails, etc?
