Move to Thunderbird Portable

From local installation to portable installation

We want to move from a local installation to a portable installation on Dropbox.

Data remains on local SSD

Parallel Thunderbird Installation

We are now using a parallel installation.

1. Old Windows system with an installed Thunderbird version
2. New Windows system with a forced portable installation

Thunderbird is creating duplicated folders again.
