I use Thunderbird Portable when I am traveling, and use the chip that is
in my Palm Tungsten E to hold the profile (with all my Emails and such).
I put the chip in a card reader to use the portable version of
Thunderbird on a guest computer with USB ports.

I can't actually read the files on the palm, but that's ok - when I"m on
the guest computer I can copy stuff to Word and use Docs to Go and read
it. But this is a roundabout way to see stuff.

But VersaMail is an email application, and if it could somehow access a
copy of my profile on the chip, I could actually use it to read my mail
directly when I plug the chip back in my palm.

Anybody know a way I could do this?

You could buy a Treo.
Or you could hope a programmer creates a conversion utility
(i.e. convert Thunderbird e-mail to Versamail format ). The
former seems a better bet.
