Alternative to Thunderbird

Submitted by mlun on November 12, 2008 - 2:16pm

My TB 2.0.0.17 Portable has become crappy, and despite compacting folders, rebuild of .msf files etc., I loose a lot of new emails. Most of my new incoming mails are being merged into spam mails, so it has become increasingly messy and unsafe.

I urgently need an alternative, but there does not seem to be many portable alternatives. As I use several email accounts, and use it for business mails, I do not think Gmail could be an alternative either.

I have considered the option to downgrade to 1.5 in the hope that this might work better, but how do I do that in the portable version?

Splash Screen Comments and Errors

Submitted by reepicheep on November 11, 2008 - 11:53am

When the latest version of The GIMP (2.6.2) became available I couldn't remember out what version I had installed on my USB stick. The splash screen for The GIMP doesn't say what version the loader is starting. To find out I have to go check the About The Gimp menu option. As it happened I had version 2.6.1 installed.

In fact none of the splash screen tell you what version is starting. Would be nice if all the splash screens included version information.

Later I noticed that the splash screen for Firefox says "Firefox.,". That don't look nice.

Xerobank vs Torpark

Submitted by infoseeker on November 8, 2008 - 6:04pm

Sorry if I put this in the wrong spot, but I did a search on both torpark and Xerobank both here and in google and had trouble sorting through the data. It appears these apps maybe one in the same.

I noticed that John was one of the developers so I thought I would ask, is Torpark and Xerobank one in the same app? or are they forks? Are they both still being maintained?

What is the major difference between them if they are? and are there still issues with network speeds?
