Agreed, but there is no harm in people trying to work out ways of doing it without having to have a full blown VM, or support from FJ.

I need to sync my contacts and calendar with Linux Thunderbird, so I'm not sure whether a VM would help.

For calendar and contacts it turns out there is a ...

Thanks to FJ's idea of using local .vcf and .ics files with the Linux version of Thunderbird, I have found that this is possible.

MPE can be used under Wine on Linux, using a 32 bit Wine folder, and adding vb6run using winetricks. This is documented on another thread (the lkast post on https://www ...

I can't even get the latest Thunderbird to install cleanly under Wine, so have given up.

The way I used to do it was to install Tbird and MPE under Wine, and link a small number of Tbird files (mainly address book and calendar) to my active Linux version of Tbird. Once upon a time it worked.

Tkanks, I'm well aware of that. Many people, including me, have tried several tricks to make it work, but since a few years ago without success. Some modified the Thunderbird extension to try to make it work, but that hasn't worked for me for a while.

I'll try again, but it would help to know if ...

MPE with Thunderbird on Linux

Has anyone got a recent version of MPE to work with the latest Thunderbird (115) under Linux?

I'm aware there are other related threads, but they have been inactive for a while, and many posts only relate to MPE, not Thunderbird.

Please forgive me for being really stupid, but what is the purpose of using mpe without a PC based email client? Sorry, but I really don't understand. Can you, or someone please explain how you are using mpe.

Are you using Thunderbird? If so, which version? I am unable to get MPE working with Thunderbird on Ubuntu 20.04 (or later)

My mistake, - apologies. As a matter of interest what email client are you using, or none at all? I use Thunderbird, but I don't do any e-mail on my phone. Or if I do, I just use a browser.

Just want to thank fugazza for his instructions (bottom of page 14)! I installed wine (5.0) winetricks (from Synaptic Package Manager), and MPE 1.8.14 on my Ubuntu 20.04-derived distro. I didn't have to "kill" any processes during install... First connect via WiFi worked fine. Currently syncing ...

I had another go today, now with wine 6.1 on ubuntu 20.10, Thunderbird 78.6.1 installed under wine. No luck.

mpe 1.8.15 reports that it can see the thunderbird release directory, but cannot see the address book or calendar file. Wine give a flood of messages like:

Re: Do I have to install Thunderbird under Wine to use with

I am helping a friend who has a Chromebook, to set up sync with her Android phone and trying to avoid the cloud/Google route.

I personally use Thunderbird and MPE on Windows.

My question is if she can use MPE Wine with Thunderbird Linux (she can enable Linux apps of course), or do they both have ...

This method has stopped working after an upgrade. I have updated ubuntu to 19.10 (from 19.04). I have tried clearing out mpe from wine and starting again, to no avail. I have checked that my mpe.js extension is still correct.
The problem now is that although mpe does start (or set the focus on ...
