Hi Steve -

I see...

There is also a cross-platform portable Thunderbird...

Cross-Platform Portable Firefox Mac-Windows
http://www.theplaceforitall.com/portablefirefox/

Cross-Platform Portable Thunderbird Mac-Windows
http://www.theplaceforitall.com/portablethunderbird/


But now I am a little confused...

I download the software and then what?

Do I need to purchase a USB stick to do this? Which one?

So you use the portable version of Thunderbird, even when you are not  
porting something? You are working off the USB stick all the time, so  
you remain portable?

Does the portable version of the software work differently than the  
desktop version?


Val ;-)
