Hi,

I may be wishfully dreaming here but is there such a thing as a cross platform, mobile email client?

I would like to be able to have my email set up on a usb memory stick so that I can carry it around, plug it in to a mac and there's my email or plug it in to a pc and hey presto theres my email again.

If that's not enough then I would like to be able to have multiple email accounts on the (living in a dreamworld) email client.

Anyone got any ideas? I have tried a version of thunderbird that was sort of cross platform and mobile but it didn't work too well and writing a letter and posting it may well have been quicker at times.

Thanks.

Sounds like a form of webmail like GoogleMail or MobileMe would be the answer.
 
Thanks for the webmail suggestion.

I really wanted to be able to view and compose emails off line, also with webmail such as gmail you are restricted to the amount of email accounts you can set up, I think with gmail it's five but I would like to set up around ten accounts.
