I'll take a look at it, but I do wonder what the advantages to using this program are over Thunderbird. It seems a little light on features, but then again, I prefer a full-featured client.
If I get a chance to work on this, I'll either update this comment or comment somewhere below. In the case I get something working completely, I'll link it too.
You are right, Thunderbird is an awesome client, no doubt about that. But this one is faster, specially when you have to manage thousands and thousands emails.
Well, that turned out to be one of the easiest apps to make portable yet. I wasn't able to find any registry items being used so here it is.
Thank you so much darksabre76! you are the man!
Please darksabre76 could you see if it's as easy to portabalise Claws Mail which is a fork of Sylpheed which has more features.

I can't make any promises here, but I'll look into it. If someone gets to it before me, please do so. My class load is a bit heavy near the end of the semester so my downtime is more limited.
Nobody has stepped up, any chance you might have more time now to look at it?
I took a shot at it in the down time I had, and I noticed that Claws Mail has some weird quirks that Sylpheed doesn't which make it more difficult to make portable properly. One of them is that it either requires no spaces in the path or escaped spaces in the path which are hard to work around. I'll continue to work on it slowly but I'm not sure that it'll be usable enough when I'm done.
