Hi Kai,

Simply use the settings to change the
master password, that has the result of using the improved
protection. In theory, if you aren't worried that someone
might already have broken your old one, you could even reuse
the same password - that is - enter the same same password in
both the "old" and "new" password fields

this step should NOT be
required to be carried out by the user! Instead, if TB notices
that it's still using the old algo, it should re-encrypt itself
to the new standard (as soon as the correct old passphrase is
entered correctly). Also, old database files should be
overwritten and then deleted by Thunderbird itself.

Olav
