Thunderbird Portable

Hi everyone. I've decided I want to take my portable TB and move it to an installed Linux desktop. Both are version 78. I tried the directions at this site but they simply did not work: https://fosswire.com/post/2008/03/migrate-your-thunderbird-emails-from-w... It just asks me to "Set up your existing email address" even though I have something like 10 email addresses and a maze of mail sorting folders already in the old TB setup.

Yesterday when Thunderbird auto-updated it destroyed my profile and disconnected all mail accounts.

Can anyone please help with a method of restoring these that doesn't involve trying multiple methods (typically 'none of' that will work)?

I won't place all the PC specs etc here, unless there are different methods for each OS.. I have used Thunderbird and Portable Apps for many years and have never experienced this issue before.

Message filters set to run on download of new messages, will not run, nor is filtering running when called manually. Going back to previous version.
PS Sorry I posted this on the "Download" page

I changed PW on a Gmail account and now cannot operate it in TB 52.8. Tried opening new account - PW not accepted. Error messages when trying to send with either old or new PW and new messages are not delivered. Tried changing back to the old PW in Gmail. but it would not let as it was too short. Please, help, thank you

Pretty much every external link in https://portableapps.com/support/thunderbird_portable is a dead link.
Will you consider either updating or removing them altogether?

This morning I installed an update to Thunderbird Portable and after "successful" installation it won't open. I receive an error message that reads: "thunderbird.exe can't be found." And yet, thunderbird.exe is shown as existing in the thunderbird/portable directory with a date of 3/8/2021 and a size of 177 bytes. I tried a second reinstallation. Same error message resulted.

Any help on this?

It seems that there is an annoying known bug in the portable version.
When I click on a mailto-link TB portable open as expected but then want to create a new account for newsgroups.
If I don't want to add this and cancel this process I'm not able to use the link in the way it is supposed to be.
I have to copy the link and manually add it to a new email window of TB removing mailto:.

Seems to me, that DDL isn't working right.

My system is Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

I have Thunderbird Portable set to "Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" checked. I always update Thunderbird Portable with the updated version when it comes out here.

I just had Thunderbird automatically install the 78.6.1 update upon starting up this morning despite the fact that I have my update preference set to the contrary. Has anyone else had that happen to them with 78.6.0?

Help please.

I have been using the the portable version of thunderbird for 3 years now, and have been frustrated with it crashing all the time on me. I loved the Thunderbird desktop but switched to portable when I was travelling for work. I no longer need to do that. Is there any way to get my huge amount of data in the portable version loaded into the desktop version. I need stability and not to lose so much time trying to work in my emails.

Thanks in advance for your help.
