There is no released FossaMail Portable.
If you want to use it in a portable fashion, you have to do it the same way as your Thunderbird was made portable. Most likely the launcher passes a -profile command-line parameter to the binary.

Re: How can I migrate from Thunderbird PORTABLE to Fosamail Portable?
Thank you for your prompt response, Moonchild.
I could see that you are updating the security fixes of the FosaMail often.
I also want to migrate from portable thunderbird to portable Fosamail and I am not knowledgeable enough to adjust the ini files to relocate the whole fosamail profile into portable area.
I don't know how big is the task to make the fosamail fully portable where all the profile and ini files placed in one place only so that when I use fosamail in different pc's/laptops ie : they all work from an external (usb)
Would you please reconsider such update?
so that many people like myself would place the Fosamail into a usb and start using whichever pc/laptop they use
Thank you in advance
