I use Thunderbird portable installed in such a way that everything, program and mail folders, are all in one folder on my drive. This make it easy to back up, and independent of Windoze doing stupid things during upgrades etc. It also means I can carry it around on a USB if I travel and use other machines.

I want to move my home PC over the Linux with minimal fuss, and would like to retain the Thunderbird portable as-is. Can I do this? Maybe I need to add a sub folder with the Linux version?

portableapps are the folk to talk to, not here where Thunderbird is made.

looking here https://portableapps.com/download they have a linux wine thing. It might be very good or it might be very bad. That is the nature of wine.

You could use the native installed Thunderbird for your Linux distribution that change the profile path used to the USB drive. But that will mess up if you do not have the drive mounted when the application starts.
