iPod.


Or any movable storage device (firewire hard disk, Jaz, Zip, USB key, 
etc.)

I installed many such setups to allow users to travel with their mail 
without any synchronization matters, after I got used to it because my 
school hacked Emailer 1.1 to allow anyone to check/send mail from any mac 
without ever filling login dialogs by carrying the database on a floppy. 
We had been looking for such a solution for a long time and couldn't find 
one. Emailer was the only mailer that could do it easily (by changing the 
ressources containing the paths to prefs and DB to put those on a 
floppy). With Emailer 2 and bigger media you don't even have to modify 
the app as you can simply store it on the same disk as the DB if you put 
the prefs file in the app's folder. Then you will launch your Emailer 
from your disk with your DB and your prefs on any mac, no matter if that 
mac has other Emailer/DB/prefs on it. No more copying from home to work 
or anywhere else (except regular backups, eh).
