You're welcome.  I'm not that up on Tbird.  I used it briefly a long time 
ago on another Gentoo box but didn't like it so I went to Pine and I did 
not use encryption either.  The only other install has been on a windows 
box that I used when both my Gentoo boxes were dead.  When I get my main 
box back up I intend to use Tbird.

Run ufed as root and see what flags there are or check the gentoo site - 
they have a list.

Let us know how it goes.
