Tame Thunderbird (make portable in Linux)
I must say that making a portable version in linux is often much easier, so
let's get started: 1. Download the bz2 thunderbird archive, for example, from here
2. Unpack ( wherever we want, preferably fs so that it is not fat / ntfs ) to an arbitrary place A (still needed)
3. Run and configure (for now, everything is the usual way).
4. Close the Thunderbird and transfer to the A directory ~ / .thunderbird
5. Dessert:
5.1. Create a file (I named it run.sh) with the following contents: 5.2. We save the file and make it executable (I think it’s not worth explaining how) Now, when you run run.sh, our tamed thunderbird will be loaded. The purpose of this: I often rearrange the OS, but I got tired of restoring mail and found such a solution for myself;) UPD : also works with Skype
