Looking For Thunderbird pet
Does anyone have a Thunderbird .pet ?
Correct. It's portable but creates and writes to $HOME/.thunderbird.
If you wanted you can backup the default profile and profile.ini created there, store it on your flash drive and copy it in after it's again created on a new box. Follow? Meaning.. you can rm -rf $HOME/.thunderbird anytime you don't feel like leaving this info behind..

Looking For Thunderbird pet
Hello Semme,
I am looking for a Thunderbird .pet.
Just installed Puppy 4.3.1 frugally on Gateway 400 laptop.
Also, just installed Shinobar's Seamonkey 2.12.1 .sfs. (the latest he has listed).
There is no Thunderbird listed anywhere in 4.3.1 system (according to search).
Can you direct me to a recent Thunderbird .pet?
Thank you

Sky- like I told Amgine, it's portable.
Unpack the latest somewhere convenient and drag the executable to your desktop.
If you want it in the menu, may I suggest MenuMaker.
You might have to symlink the exec to /usr/local/bin. Offhand, I can't recall..
PS - You have room to run the latest SM?

Thank you, Amgine
Where do I find the *Thunderbird extract file*?Just download Thunderbird extract the file, and look for the Thunderbird icon, It will say "Thunderbird"
Here it is
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
Two ways to extract it (Well Three but no need for the Terminal)
Right click and choose Extract Auto detect subfolders
or
Just open the Ziped folder and it will open up and give you extraction options.

Go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/, and click on the green "Thunderbird Free Download" button on the left. This should download a .tar.bz2 file.
Go to your download directory in ROX-Filer, and locate the file. Select the file, right-click on it, and select Rename. Highlight the entire filename in the box that pops up (from 'thunderbird' all the way to the .tar.bz2) and Copy the filename (either by pressing Ctrl+C, or right-clicking on the highlighted filename and selecting Copy). Click on Cancel (don't follow through on the rename, in other words ).
Next, open a terminal window by pressing the ~ key. Enter the following:
...with a space after the "xvf." Use Paste to insert the filename you just copied, and press Enter to run the command.
After tar is done extracting the .tar.bz2 archive, you should have a "thunderbird" directory in the same folder as the downloaded archive. Drag that folder to wherever you want to keep it, such as ~/my-applications/bin.
Next, open the thunderbird folder, after you've placed it where you want it to be permanently stored. Drag the "thunderbird" file to the desktop, to create a shortcut. You can then rename the shortcut to whatever you want, and change the icon.
