Mobility Email, Has anyone else tried it?

Hey,
I happened to run accross this portable email client. It is a scaled down thunderbird (..also). I have been using it for a bit, and I like it, just wondering if anybody has tried both..how do they compare? I really don't feel like setting everything back up just to try it...at least not until I get another usb drive Smile

What's your opinion?

Thunderbird fork.

It's a fork of Thunderbird. They even have the same version number (1.5.0.5). So no, there wouldn't be much difference between this and Thunderbird, now would there? Smile

Basically its TB with....

extensions and themes distributed in the download package, which, correct me if i'm wrong is illegal, i think. If you check ou the themes for example, there is the the (IMO) 'ugly' Jaquiline theme, and the thuderbird default. And the extensions include tor, contact sidebar etc...

I seriously wouldn't bother with this when you have the fully supported TBP available, in my opinion. Smile

It's not illegal

If they use their own icons, name etc.

Exactly, that's the whole point of open-source. If they were to still call it Thunderbird, they'd be in the wrong, since that would violate Mozilla's trademark policy.

I actually want to retract my earlier comment....

This IS a another verision of TB, but it has a few advantages ova normal TB.

1. It is fully secure, and has many security features (some of which is way over my head).
2. It can encrypt profile folder on the fly on open, and then on close

I'm sure that there are other improvements, but i have only fiddled for a little bit. So far everything i've imported works fine, along with my extensions.

Might be worthwile giving it a go.
