Dear Mozilla Support team.

I would like to to know if I install Thunderbird in my PC (windows 7): Can I keep my profile in my USB memory? That mean, each time I turn on my PC, all incoming, outgoing emails, trash, and all data will saved in my USB memory and not in my PC or in any other PC with thunderbird.

It is possible to that? If is, how can I do that?

Regards. Angel Lozada

Dear Airmail

Thanks for your reply.

May ask: Is that Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition supported by Mozilla Group. Because that is my main concern.

Thanks again to take your time and reply my inquiry.

Regards. Angel

It is third-party however the portable apps for Firefox and Thunderbird has existed for several years now and has been trusted since.
