Create a customized text file named thunderbird.cfg and put it in the thunderbird executable folder '%programfiles%\mozilla thunderbird\thunderbird.cfg' .
Edit %programfiles%\mozilla thunderbird\greprefs\all.js addding the following values:
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "thunderbird.cfg");A sample thunderbird.cfg (requires modification for your site!):
//put everything in a try/catch
try {
// 1) env variables - comment/uncomment for your OS
// *NIX settings
// var env_user = getenv("USER");
// var env_home = getenv("HOME");
// Windows settings
var env_user = getenv("USERNAME");
var env_home = getenv("HOMEPATH");
//var env_mozdebug= getenv("MOZILLA_DEBUG");
// 2) lock general preferences
