Thunderbird Portable

What's the best way to export mail and settings to either upgrade or to get ready for disaster recovery?

I'm only assuming that just saving a copy of portable thunderbird with settings on another medium, isn't the only way.

I modified the autorun.inf file provided to include "Launch Portable Thunderbird" in the list of programs that XP displays in the autorun window. It's one less click you have to make to run PTB!

[autorun]
open=PortableThunderbird\PortableThunderbird.exe
icon=PortableThunderbird\PortableThunderbird.exe
action=Launch Portable Thunderbird

I just started using Portable Thunderbird 1.5 and I love it. There are, obviously, a few quirks, but that's to be expected.

One, for instance, is that it doesn't seem to read RSS. It wont download the any new articles headers for some reason.

It this a known issue with all the portable Thunderbirds?

Am I the first person to have a problem with Portable TB? Is it that good?

On the support page, you say that you have made modifications so that Tb doesn't check if it is the default mail client. I am using Portable Tb1.5 RC1, and everytime I run it in this library, I get asked if I want to set TB to be the default client....

Anyone else have this problem?
