Help > Chrysanth Mail Manager as a Portable Spam Blocker

  

In consideration of helping people who are always on the move, and might not be able to bring along their notebook computers, Chrysanth Mail Manager could be run as a portable spam blocker whereby the only equipment that travelers need to carry is a thumb drive like device hosting this portable spam blocker. 

Using thumb drives or other rewriteable media to host Chrysanth Mail Manager as a portable spam blocker could easily allow travelers to insert such device as thumb drive into other host computers in public area like cyber cafe, while retaining 100% privacy and portability, i.e.

  • without storing any private message information on any host computer
  • without the need to re-install and re-configure the account settings
  • only occupies a very small storage space

To run Chrysanth Mail Manager as portable spam blocker, simply follow the steps below:

  1. Copy the executable file from the installed folder (the default location should be "C:\Program Files\Chrysanth\NETime\Mail Manager\CSMailManager.exe") to the target portable media, say any thumb drive. You may place the executable file at the root folder or any specific folder that you wish. Note: Placing the executable file under a specific folder helps keep all the relevant setting files created in an organized folder structure.

  2. Create an empty Text file (files with ".txt" extension) or any other file, then rename the newly created file to "Portable.cssw". Note: The existence of this file will instruct Chrysanth Mail Manager to run as a portable spam blocker by storing all the user related information under the same folder, instead of the normal user profile folder under host computer.

  3. If the above two steps are executed properly, you should be able to run Chrysanth Mail Manager as a portable spam blocker on any host computer by now! Simply insert your thumb drive into the host computer's USB port and launch Windows Explorer to access the executable file. Once launched, the rest will stay the same as running Chrysanth Mail Manager as normal spam blocker mode.

Meanwhile, we have also created a version of Chrysanth Mail Manager that is fully compatible with Iomega ActiveDisk format, which is able to install itself onto any Iomega ActiveDisk technology compatible media and launch automatically whenever the media is being loaded onto any host computer.
