Thunderbird Portable

Afternoon...

I am running T'Bird 68.xx (I think - I don't want to view "About" because I don't want to upgrade)

This is my dilemma...I would like to change my server settings to be prepared for the May 30th deadline for OAuth2 authentication, but I can't view account settings on any of my 3 Gmail accounts.

All I can view is a small dialogue box with the name of the account (my email address) and "account actions", nothing else.

I fear that if I can't get to the full menu of settings, I will loose everything come May 30th.

After a reboot. when I start Thunderbirdportable 91.6 from my pinned spot on the taskbar - I check the properties map to D:\Applications\ThunderbirdPortable - it now looks to setup an email account!

It was working perfectly prior to the reboot.

How can I get my D:\Applications\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile loaded and why did this happen?

I recenlty upgraded manually to 91.6. Today I get a message saying would I iike to upgrade it? Am I right to say the portableapp Thunderbird version does not support auto updates like this? Should I turn off the update checker?

I recently upgraded from Thunderbird portable version 60.0.1 to 91.6, using it standalone, no platform.
I have been trying to get to see my sent emails in conversation in Thunderbird. The Thunderbird forum has been advising me via a thread I started.
It turns out there is a context menu option, "Open message in conversation"

I've been a user of Thunderbird Portable for many years, and this is a recent problem.

My current Thunderbird Portable is Version 91.5.1 (32 bit).

Sometime a couple of months ago, after I believe there was a Thunderbird update, I began to have a problem when trying to print an email message from Thunderbird. The "Preparing Preview" screen opens, and then never proceeds at all. There is a spinning icon by the words "Preparing Preview" - and on the right side of the screen is the word "Print".

I use a network calendar on my LAN that has the following URL:

ftp://(username):(pasword)@192.168.178.9/USERDATA/userdata/famille/calendrier/No.ics

TB portable cannot synchronize it because TB portable does not know how to open the URL: it briefly asks which app to use in a window ("How do you want to open this? Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge") that immediately disappears. The calendar is listed but remains empty.

I thought a ftp client was included in TB to handle FTP URLs.

I have found a few Thunderbird-related leftovers. I use Win7x64. I have been using Thunderbird since the previous version (91.5.0 I suppose). I've been using two extensions: Dark Reader and Thunderbird Conversations.

hi everybody, i have thunderbird portable (95.5.0.8041) in my external hard drive (E:) i changed my ssd (C:) for a bigger one and it's not working anymore, thunderbird open but like a new install without any account and ask me to set a new one, i dont understand why this happen as its not on C; it should work with any computer as portable, if someone have an idea it will be apprecated as i spend 2 days aleady to try to fix it and get my mail! thanks

Thunderbird Portable 91.4.0 leaves an empty file named UpdateLock-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in ProgramData after being closed. This is due to the way Thunderbird calculates the CityHash of the path it is running from.

I felt it was more important to update Thunderbird than to have it perfect. I spent a few hours poking around the 2GB of Thunderbird source to get it to match. I'm likely just missing a small detail. I'll be working on this to get it sorted in the next release.

My rss feed of portableapps.com has disappeared from thunderbird. From what I can see on the site, there is no option to select an RSS feed that can be used with thunderbird. Please clarify.

thanks
