I've been using Miranda Portable for awhile now and I just purchased a U3 drive and I'm wondering if Miranda Portable can be ported to U3 easily.

Thunderbird and encryption of profile, account infos, addressbook (second)

Submitted by stn21 on August 26, 2006 - 9:30pm

Hi all,

this is getting a bit surreal.

Just check the Search before posting and you find this subject being discussed time and again without ever leading to anything even close to a solution nor any qualified explanation on what is so tough about it.

So here I try again: Thunderbird is at present absolutely unusable as a portable application, for security reasons. You can use it if and only if

- you are really happy about handing your personal information to everybody who gets anywhere near your USB-stick

- or if you are always admin. Then of course you are not portable anymore, you can only use the machines you own. You can then encrypt your profile with truecrypt or otfe. Not that you need encryption if you only work on your own PCs.

Portable ReactOS would be great, anyway...

For those who don't know ROS:
The ReactOS® project is dedicated to making Free Software available to everyone by providing a ground-up implementation of a Microsoft Windows® XP compatible operating system. ReactOS aims to achieve complete binary compatibility with both applications and device drivers meant for NT and XP operating systems, by using a similar architecture and providing a complete and equivalent public interface.
