Xray sounds interesting > -- I'm assuming it's an SMTP server of some sort No, X-Ray just manages SMTP servers; depending on where you are, you might need to use a different one. www.xrayapp.com X-Ray was written with TB in mind.

You may also want to check out "The Batch": http://www.snurl.com/thebatch It is TB-to-go. No need to have 2 instances of TB, have just one on a zip drive or USB drive and carry it around with you.
