To me the program shouldвЂ™ve been made to do the update automatically and seemlessly without all this migration installing and uninstalling of software.

I donвЂ™t appreciate Mozzilla never telling us we had 32bit and that they had made 64bit the newest install and they never warned me to prepare or how to migrate or whatever. ThatвЂ™s when I wrote to the Mozzilla community and someone answered me and told me that V68 was 64bit and it looks like I discovered a bunch of issues with it. I uninstalled it and re-installed V60 and got all my files back. Not even my IMAP profiles loaded back up. Then, when I tried to return my emails and folders to the proper place, my POP3 profile would not load back up. Kind of confused me because I never used that one. My dual delete button from the top bar was missing and only the one on the far right was left. All I know is that it looked a bit different than usual. I still had no idea it was 64bit when I installed it. Since Mozzilla never advertised the 64bit when I reformatted my PC and downloaded the latest Thunderbird, it was Version 68. Folder switching seems a lot faster and folders display emails more quickly to before. I don't have scientific proof but it seems to me that the 64-bit version of Thunderbird is more responsive than the 32-bit one on my system with a good number of emails in the database (120k). Go back to the 32-bit version if you notice any issues afterward. Thunderbird should start up normally and you can check that you are running the 64-bit version now by selecting Help > About Thunderbird. Note though that both installations will use the same user data. You could select custom installation at one point to install it to a different directory than the 32-bit version so that you could go back to the 32-bit version without installing it anew. The installer does not reveal to you that you are installing the 64-bit version of Thunderbird. Click on the download link to download the 64-bit version of Thunderbird to the local system.Select the most recent version, then win64, and then the locale to open the download folder. Head over to the official Mozilla FTP site and download the 64-bit version of Thunderbird for your locale from there.You can also use MailStore Home to backup all mails locally. I only rated this one star because 0 is not an option.Since you are installing a version that is not supported officially, you may want to back up the Thunderbird data folder or even the entire system partition before you start the process.

I hate M$ but they are right in this one area (not that they produce better software but Outlook is a much better option this one time). The only successful software is software that has paid developers. It may take a decade but in the end you are left with a pile of crap that no one is interested in working on and no one wants to use.

I do not want to download the source code and fix the problem.Д®very free software project and open source project will eventually fail. If this is open source, then open source is not for me. There is not testing or quality assurance before this terd is released to the public. I could never specify my profile directory in the. ini file overwrote my settings and created a new file.

#How to update mozilla thunderbird portable

I tried upgrading Thunderbird portable and move my profile but each time I tried, the. The community is dead, this is sloppy work and overall has been a huge waste of time. With these apparent problems you would think the developers use it and would remedy the problems. It takes a long time to launch under Windows 7. The first time I installed it, it would not run under wine and had to log a bug report. Under Ubuntu (latest), it is so slow that it is unusable. I am looking for a commercial version of a good email program that will let me do this. Thunderbird portable is not a viable option. I was looking for a solution to run Thunderbird on a USB drive and move between various flavors of Windows and Unix.
