Local and Portable Thunderbird instances
Hello from down under. I have local install Thunderbird 128.7.1esr (64-bit) on my Win 11 Pro and running well. I use it for my business. I have latest Thunderbird portable downloaded from portableapps on my removable drive. I intend to use it for my personal emails. I tried to execute the portable version while running the local version. It won't allow me to run it and this error message appeared. I thought the portable version should be isolated and run within the removable drive. Is there a way to run both at the same time?

All I can ask is "why"? Why use two different executable copies to load two profiles. Are you needing to have your personal mail in your pocket, without using your phone to manage portability? The wh9le basis of the issue really does not make a lot of sense to me.
Just to be clear, portable apps use a wrapper application around Thunderbird to fool it into thinking it is installed and the profile it is loading is located on the local machine. I have no idea how it is done and I do not care are portable apps is not supported from here.
Thunderbird will run multiple instances using multiple profiles, but I doubt the portable apps wrapper will let it happen.
Thanks Matt for replying. Did not realise Thunderbird do not support the portable. You are too polite to directly say take my question elsewhere which I will do.

Perhaps, but I am still failing to understand why use two versions of Thunderbird. I have two copies running on my PC all the time, although one is the daily developer build, but having the release version with multiple profiles is equally something that should work. So I will try again. Why use the portable version at all?
