Hi, I downloaded Thunderbird Portable for Android onto my Samsung Tablet successfully. However, when I go to the Downloads folder and tap the exe file I get a message which says: "Unable to find a program to install this app". I have already allowed installation from unknown sources under the security setting, so that isn't the problem.

Can anyone help please? Many thanks.

The portable Thunderbird is for Windows. The portable means it can run say completely off a usb Flash drive on Windows if the user wants to.

You need to ask Portable Apps. They support the portable version.

Quote from Portable Apps site.

System Requirements: Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10, Wine on Linux/UNIX

Where did you find an Android version? There has never been a version for Android.
