Run Thunderbird Portable (TBP) or use portable data for installed Thunderbird in SandboxIE


Note: Don't do this is you can't easily follow the steps. Ask your "computer tech". Be sure and backup everything in "C:\users\name\AppData\Local\Thunderbird" and your TBP directory before you do any of this (because many of you will mess this up).

I am not responsible for you doing or trying this. As usual, you found this as a blog and you use it at your own risk. Again, backup C:\users\name\AppData\Local\Thunderbird and TBP directory.

1) Run TBP in SandboxIE. It will create a profile at "C:\users\name\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles"
Close Thunderbird.

2) Run command prompt as Administrator
Go to: C:\users\name\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles
Your profile name will look something like this: f6b4ewhh.default
Don't delete it!
rename f6b4ewhh.default f6b4ewhh.default.bak1

3) Still at C:\users\name\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles ...
Find your TBP directory and subfolder data\profile.
Presuming mine is at m:\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile , you would do the following:
mklink /D f6b4ewhh.default m:\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile

4) Run TBP in SandBoxIE and it will correctly find your portable data profile.

You can also use portable data for installed Thunderbird. Just follow the same procedures.
