    I like the portable edition, I can just keep it on my USB stick when I need it.

    What a great review "Otaku92"?

    Very good email client. I use it for Gmail POP as well as for my ISP POP account. Uses a lot more RAM than say Windows Live Mail, but what the heck. Everything is saved in one folder and can be moved with ease into another computer or hard drive, should my current one fail me. I like the portables and have basically made the move to use as many as portables as possible. So many great free portable apps. now, it is amazing.
    The Lightning Calendar for Thunderbird simply stopped working one day. I gave up on that one, though Sunbird Calendar seems to work fine. Seems like Sunbird is really RAM hungry however.

    Still the best. I overwrote with the installer's data a day ago or so. My folder is like 123 MB approx. But FF is also about 113 MB itself. Not tiny portables, just the best atm.
    And FYI. I use the vista mail theme and have been using lightning forever and it still works fine for me to this day.

    a bit of an improvement over the previous version. For a portable app, its' great though - probably the best portal email app there is (or at least, the best I've found)

    If only Thunderbird had decent spam filtering it would be great - current spam filtering is just terrible - virtually pointless.

    And to think, I had to do it all manually when I made my Thunderbird portable!

    Handy if you want to keep all your e-mail in the one spot. Storing your e-mail in some obscure location is one of my pet hates of many e-mail apps. Harder to backup, harder to secure.
