They're preconfigured, but not enabled by default. You need to create a key to do it. Enigmail does a pretty good job of walking your through the process.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

What can I say for the moment?

Just a big big thank you ...

I know now what I will do tomorrow evening ...

Woo hoo! New T-Bird! Thank you so very much.

I do have one question. Being slightly obsessive, I went through my old PTB (1.5 RC1) folder and found two files outside the Profile folder that were updated recently. They are compreg.dat and xpti.dat, residing in the thunderbird\components folder. (I notice that files with the same names show up in the profile folder too...duplicates?)

Should I copy these over to the new install's app\thunderbird\components folder? Delete them? Do something else?

P.S. Also, to double-check: am I supposed to replace all contents of the new data\profile folder with everything that was in my old profile folder, or do something more subtle?

P.P.S. Okay, now that we've got a completely up-to-date Portable Thunderbird...when can we expect to see Portable Mad Dog 20/20?

Glad you like it Smile

Please post any support questions in the forums, not as comments on a news story. That makes it easier for folks to find questions and answers later on.

I updated without any problems just by replacing new installation's profile directory with my original profile. Great work, John.
