Portable "Outlook Express" for USB Flash Drive

[BLUE SKY THINKER]

Can anyone recommend a freeware download to enable me to use my "Outlook Express" set-up on a USB flash drive?

I understand such programs allow usage completely independent of the host computer it is plugged into, both in terms of activity history and - presumably - conecting direct to your personal incoming POP3/outgoing SMTP servers (?).

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi. I bought a flash drive a while ago and on the cd is a couple of free programmes, one being the equivalent of OE. PM or email me your addy and a copy of the (freeware) disc will be on its way to you. :)

Thunderbird (from the Firefox stable) is an excellent emial client.

John Haller has developed a customised version for flashdrives.

I have just uploaded it here. Click here. (http://www.btinternet.com/~paul.evans28/PenMail.exe) and the manual should be HERE.............. (http://www.btinternet.com/~paul.evans28/PenMail_manual..pdf)

Let us know if they work. :)

Just downloaded and setup, on my USB flash drive, some accounts on the portable Thunderbird suggested by Mac the Knife above. Must say it works a treat, something I hadn't thought of before. Thanks Mac :ok:

Another way round it is to use mail2web here. (http://www.mail2web.com) A useful website that does the same job but it is not as user friendly as a flash drive.

Thanks for all your efforts; just downloaed your link, but unfortunately the program is only designed to work on certain types/make of flash drive. ...Mine's not one of them! ...They are listed as you try to install, so may be useful to someone.

Thanks again.

Just tried that link; thanks. ...A very nice little program and it actually works on my flash drive, unlike a number of alternative options I've tried.
