Two profile two thunderbird at the same time with same user account
Dear, I would use two Thunderbird at the same time for two different profiles with the same user accounts. I using linux OS. I was thinking of using:
- thunderbird -P profile1 &
- thunderbird -P profile2 &
But when launching the second command nothing happens. Only brings in the foreground thundirbird already started.
If possible use this configuration now or in the nex future?

As a rule thunderbird only runs one instance of a profile. However, there are a couple of options you could try. You could use an addon to esily switch profiles:
there is more help here:
It does say: 'Multiple instances is intended for debugging, so use it at your own risk'.
One method would be to use: Start > Run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P profilename
there is a space before '-no' and also before '-P' followed by a space and the profile name
You could create a shortcut/icon to run each separate profile.

Thunderbird auto creates the first Profile when initially launched allowing you to create a mail account.
To create further Profiles, you need to :
- close Thunderbird first - this is important
- then launch Profile Manager.
./thunderbird -profilemanager
Alternately, in a terminal, type: path/to/application -profilemanager
I used alredy two profile but not concurrently. When I launching "thunderbird -profilemanager" i select one of the two profiles and used only one profile at the time. I would like to use both profiles simultaneously, together as the same the picture.
