No, well, you still need the computer. But, the difference is you install the porta-version of Thunderbird onto your thumbdrive. Then, if I'm at someone's else, if I want to check email, I pop in the thumbdrive, start up Thunderbird (which is installed on my thumbdrive) and have my full mail client available to me. All my mail settings (about a dozen different email addresses) are already set up so I just check my mail like I'm at home. No need to use webmail, no need to install anything on the computer I'm at, no need to worry that if I download my mail I won't have it. Any mail I receive stays within the stick. ---Troth Judith Tramayne said the following on 12/19/2005 4:14 PM: >Ok... so, we're trying Thunderbird mail client.
