Installing Outlook on external harddisks

[sunfish]

I want to be able to install Outlook, or another email software if appropriate, on an external hard disk that i can then transport with me to other computers and still be able to use the email software without having to set it up again.  I have tried with Outlook, the bat, etc and found that when I hook up to another computer, the software either does not work, or starts without any of the previous account settings and emails.  Does anyone know if this is possible to achieve, or am i wasting my time?  Thanks.

I don't know of any way to install on an external drive.  

You don't say who your ISP is.  You should be able to use webmail (AOL / Juno / etc) and get your mail from any computer anywhere.

I want to use my pop accounts for downloading email from my web server.  I know i can use webmail but i want to keep all of my emails, settings, etc in one place for security and ease of transport.  Maybe it is just not possible.  Thanks for replying though.

Get FireFox and Thunderbird portable versions from portable apps . com and throw them on a thumb drive...

I second that.  Portable Thunderbird is the business.
