Like Portable Firefox, it's not really portable as it leaves folders and temp files on the host computer.
I used to use the built in mail client in Opera and thought it was great but since Opera took a dump I tried many to replace it. I used Thunderbird for over a year but it's a little bit on the heavy side for what it is and many of the good plugins are outdated and no longer compatible. Postbox, which is built off of this, has made greater strides in improving and I much prefer the layout but it isn't free.
I had used the SimpleMail plugin for Firefox as I do prefer my mail client to be part of my browser but it is way too buggy and it corrupted quite a few of my stored emails.
Fortunately there is still one last piece of good Opera around and that is Opera mail. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated since they ripped it out of the now deceased (Presto)browser. For me it's still a better mail client when compared to this because of it's nicer layout and TRUE portability

I've been using this for years now, and it's been pulling from my yahoo/gmail/hotmail without an hitch. So 5 from me.

I switched to this from Outlook Express a while back because I liked the portability between Windows installs and even other platforms.
I've never looked back.
FIVE stars.

In a world where everyone and everything is going 'web', Thunderbird is a mainstay application. It's flexibility, portability and extensibility are the things that keep it as a must have application. Thunderbird greatest asset is the extensions. SocialMail is my favorite extension for Thunderbird; it gives it the Microsoft Outlook/Xobni look/function that everyone is looking for... Thunderbird should be in everyone's programs listing.
Until next time,

T-Bird just keeps improving, as does Lightning Calendar. They now make a wonderful pair.

Handy if you want to keep all your e-mail in the one spot.
Ultra fast!

Pure gold. Still have to use MS Outlook to sync with my BB, need a plug-in for TB to work with BB. Then I will completely switch e-mail clients.

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.

Great app, you can also download it with GPG + Enigmail bundled from the page http://johnhaller.com/jh...e_thunderbird/deer_park/

Ultra fast! Loads nearly a thousand messages in somewhere around 2 seconds!...(though don't expect that speed if you have nothing but video jokes in your email :P )

Really good !

Nice E-Mail program. However, as a portable program, it falls far short. This is one of the largest E-Mail programs I have ever seen, portable or not!

Fast loading.
There's portable versions of the 1.5RC's aswell, at their site.
