Re: [tor-talk] Any problem installing TBB & Vidalia bundle on same machine?

[Phillip <equusaustralus@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm still sticking to Torbutton - I prefer the flexibility of being able
to switch it on and off when I need, rather than launching a new
browser. That being said, I frequently run Tor with Firefox at the same
time as my e-mail client (all of which is routed through Tor). As long
as Vidalia's opened, you should be able to use multiple programs with
Tor simultaneously.

With Thunderbird, you can check by sending a test e-mail, even to
yourself, then looking at the source. It's working if you get something
that looks like this:

Received: from [0.0.0.0] (tor-exit-router45-readme.formlessnetworking.net [199.48.147.45])
        by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id v16sm1593516ibf.42.2011.08.11.09.06.31
        (version=SSLv3 cipher=AES128-SHA);


Not sure about other apps like Pidgin etc.
