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