Greetings to the list.
I have become such a fan of the flexibility and versatility of Thunderbird Portable that I am now wondering why one should bother with the standard Thunderbird at all. True, Tbird Portable is slower on a flash drive than the standard installation is on a hard drive, but if one is willing to sacrifice speed, why not go with the portable version? This question may strike experienced users as naive, but I wonder what one really loses by foregoing the standard version.

A couple of the advantages are registration as the default mail client, and a single installation for multiple users.

In general I agree, but for point number 2 disk space is cheap and eventually the bulk of the size of Thunderbird comes from the user's mailbox not the app itself so having multiple instances of the app is neglible.
I agree though that the biggest stubmling block is the default mail client.
