Thunderbird Portable

Updated TB 08/Sep via the 26.1 platform o Windows 10 but TB 115.2.0 calendar now insists that event times are 2 hours later than they had originally been set: a previously set 12:00 appointment is now being displayed as a 14:00 appointment.

It makes no difference if I continue to use the system timezone or set it manually before re-starting TB.

Well, as we wait for the devs to figure out how to do auto-updates from 102.x to 115+.x, they've released a new version, contrary to what they said a while back:

From Thunderbird.net, 02 August 2023;
"Thunderbird 102.14.0, scheduled for release on July 30, 2023, is the final release of Thunderbird 102."
Users of Thunderbird 102.13 went to 102.14 running if they accepted the update.

Now, today, 30 August 2023, this:
Thunderbird 102.15.0, is the final release of Thunderbird 102.

Recently used Starlink connection on a trip, I could only send on first registered Spectrum (@twc.com) email address, not on the secondary twc.com email address. When got home and connected to my Spectrum ISP, could send again on both addresses for few weeks.
Last week reverted to AUP#Out-1500 msg when sending on second email. Spectrum 'tech' no help. Using TB 3.1 since 2012 with no issues. Not a mobile user so have not wanted, nor needed, to upgrade.

I installed TBird 116 Test a few days ago, and it updated successfully through a first 117 version to the current 117.0b3. But today I noticed that if I double-click a message in my Archives folder (in Local Folders), a Composition (Write) window opens, instead of a reading tab or window. This happens on both my office desktops, both Windows 11 Pro 22h2 2134, with Thunderbird Beta Test installed to my programs & data drive, not on my C:\ drive on either PC.

I installed the current (John T Haller) 116 beta test version yesterday, and it ran beautifully right out-of-the-box. Then I checked Help > About and promptly took an update. Worked flawlessly. Today, another update, and it's working perfectly. From portable 116.0bx to 117.0b3 in two days. Thank you, John T.

I'm running 102.13.0 and would like to use it primarily for managing a set of google calendars and task lists—I don't need it for mail.

I installed the provider-for-google-calendar addon and successfully authenticated with my google account, and was able to interact with the calendar & tasks as expected. But every time I restart TB, I have to re-authenticate with google again. I did make sure the "Don't ask again on this device" was checked.

I got a notification in Thunderbird that 102.13.1 is available for download. When I clicked on the link to see the release notes, there was a note that Supernova is now available.

I'm curious to know if there will be a 102.13.1 portable update and if work has started on a portable version of 115?

Thanks so much for all of the work you do, John, to make Thunderbird Portable available.

Hi,

I'm repeatedly getting "Download error: Reget Error" preventing me from installing Thunderbird into my PortableApps system on both computers I've tried it on. Other apps are updating just fine.

What is needed to solve this please?

Thanks, Paul W.

I'm running standalone Thunderbird Portable 102.9 on a network drive (CIFS) from my Windows 10Pro machine. Runs fine, but I can't get it to update using the standalone method. It's the only portable app I use regularly so don't have the PortableApp platform installed.

Topic title is the concise summary, I apologize for such a long post below to add more details.

I'd already posted a topic on Thunderbird's primary forum and was referred here. Here's a link to that topic but all info in it is reposted here on this Portableapps topic:
