Hallo Nick,

Unfortunately converting to OTFE almost is like switched to Voyager.

However here it comes.

Create an internal back-up with TB, including everything.
Now copy your complete message base to a safe location (that's not
needed for the transition, but just in case)
Export the TB registry settings to a safe location
(The full HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\The Bat!  tree)
Uninstall TB
Delete your message base
(The uninstall shouldn't do that, but just in case it does you already
have got your backup)
Install TB pro
On running it'll ask you whether you want to use OTFE, answer yes and
pick a password (that's needed for en/decryption)
Next it'll ask whether you want to create a new account or restore
from backup, select the backup option and restore everything.

Note that this won't restore any spam dictionaries you might have put
in your mail directory too or cookie files, but basically this
restores and encrypts everything.
You've got to close and open TB again before it loads the restored
registry settings.

When it doesn't work as you want, uninstall TB again.
Delete the message base
Install TB, but don't run it.
Copy your original message base back to its old location
Restore TB's old registry settings (just open the exported file)
Start TB and everything is back to normal.

One note:
When you're using a restricted user account in Windows, you can't
(un)install TB, so you've got to that that from an admin account. This
means that TB's registry settings in the account you're using TB won't
be deleted with uninstalling it. (Makes kind of sense) So you've got
to delete those settings via regedit.
Yes, this means that it's possible to run an encrypted message base in
one user account under Windows and plain under an other account. (Yes,
I'm doing that, my guest account has a plain message base)
