Portable Thunderbird v60.0 only x86?

Submitted by Screemer on August 9, 2018 - 9:35am

Hi,

I really don't post allot here at this forum but now I felt I had to ask a question about the new Thunderbird v60.0 release.
Wouldn't it be possible to have both x86 and x64 in the same installer?
As it is now it seem to only install x86 version.

Since Mozilla finally seem to have released an official x64 version I would really love to be able to use it. Smile

Thunderbird 60 doesn't work properly. 6 out of my 10 add-ons don't work with this version which makes it impossible for me to do what i want to do with Thunderbird.
How can i get the previous version back?

I forget if I saw this in tb before or it's new.
In Synchchronization & Storage - Message Synchonizing, do I have the "Keep messages for his account on this computer" checked or unchecked? It is currently checked. It is for my gmail account, imap.
I use tb 52.8.0 on my usb stick to multiple computers

As of today, when I open ThunderbirdPortable none of my accounts, e-mails, calandar etc. are there and I'm asked to create a new account, i.e. it behaves as though I've never used ThunderbirdPortable before. In the ThunderbirdPortable folder on the USB stick it runds for there is a profile folder present but for some reason the program has stopped accessing/linking to it. How do I get ThunderbirdPortable to open with my profile functioning?
Thank you.

windows search for emails?

Submitted by Bolanger on June 20, 2018 - 1:46pm

Hello,

I am struggling to use the windows search function for emails within Thunderbird's mbox files. The windows search function simply doesn't work with TBP.

In the settings of Thunderbird, there is a button that will allow the windows search function to search within emails, as well. I can check the checkbox, but after I restarted TBP, the checkmark is gone. I have tried this in Windows 7 and Windows 10, with various TBP versions down to v24... and always had the same issue.

Thunderbird Portable on a Mac High Sierra

Submitted by oldpro21 on June 13, 2018 - 5:13pm

Hello all,

I am completely new to portableapps.com and I looking for help running Thunderbird Portable on a flash drive plugged into a Mac running High Sierra.

I downloaded and installed both XQUARTZ and WINE and then ran the installer for Thunderbird Portable which seemed to install correctly but when I start TP it just hangs. I end up having to force quit WINE.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hi.. I have been using Thunderbird Portable for a couple of years now and its great, especially as I keep all of my emails .. the folder is 20gb in size ..

I had to go portable because Normal Thunderbird would not function properly with all of that data... anyway , the only thing I am not able to do in Thunderbird Portable is delete or add or edit contacts...
