PortableApps Thunderbird can be installed on a USB flash drive, making it a convenient option for users who want to access their email settings on different devices. To transfer settings from the PortableApps version to a new laptop, direct import options are limited, as Thunderbird primarily supports importing from Eudora, Outlook, or Outlook Express. Instead, users can manually transfer settings by copying specific files from the USB drive using Windows Explorer. A helpful resource for this process is an older thread on the MozillaZine forums, which provides guidance on file locations and transfer methods.

Do you just go to Windows Explorer and copy/paste certain files?
