Portable thunderbird in a network

I would like use my thunderbird in a net with two pc.

So I only need to control that the main executable look for the data folder in the place I indicate.

This place will be the same folder in any case.
Can I execute twice the main executable from both pc ?

What's the best way to make TB3 to work in a local area network ?

Best Regards

Friends

I have a strange problem on two computers when using TB Portable (latest version, 3).

Here are the details:

Vista (one is 32 bit business and one 64 bit business)
Thumbdrive Kingston Datatraveler 1 G and 8 G (behavior same on both)
On a local network with a domain server and a 2 MB broadband subscription
Running inside a Truecrypt file container (2 G and 300 MB)
The computers are both fairly new and powerful.

Address Book Cannot Be Accessed

I can no longer directly access my main address book which is located in abook.mab via Tools/Address Book. The only address book available via Tools/Address Book is Personal Address Book with 32 entries -- but not abook.mab which has 107 KB of addresses. I can Angel see abook.mab using Explorer in the proper directory; and (b) when typing in email addresses the auto-complete function is accessing data from that file.

Links in Links menu stopped working

I have TB portable 3.1.2 -- after upgrading from the previous version, the links in the Add-Ons menu for Get More Extensions, Get More Themes, MozillaZine, MozDev no longer do anything. I tried downloading and running a fresh copy of the installer just in case the original was damaged but it didn't make any difference.

I'd like to get more add-ons and maybe one or two different themes, but the only way to do that now is via Firefox. Not a big deal, but slightly less convenient.
