AutoRun LWMenu is a control menu that can launch applications, URLs, system commands, etc.
It's not only portable itself, but acts as a portabilizer so the launched apps will become portable too. In fact, it can back up and restore whole registry values/folders/files of the programs it launches (or just use symlinks to run folders/files portably), including unique features like a simulator to test everything, kiosk mode where the menu must remain open, and auto button clicks.

If you understand the program well, you can create portable software that leaves no traces in the system. |
POP Peeper is an email notifier that alerts you when you have new email on any of your accounts (IMAP [including uploads], POP3 and Webmail, but also RSS with a commercial plugin). You can also send emails using SMTP or through Webmail directly from POP Peeper. Having OAuth support, it can be used with accounts that require it instead of a password.
To enable secure connections, see forum instructions.

LWBlat is a utility email sender using SMTP or NNTP for posting to newsgroups with a friendly interface. The program is a front-end for the Blat console utility. Also, as modern public SMTP servers require SSL and OAuth which Blat doesn't support, this utility includes a simulator mode to test various settings and see how a message would have been received had it used them.
Alternatively, LWBlat GUI Portable is in PortableApps.com Format and automatically adjusts paths and Blat's own registry settings (if used).

The installer, which was created in Inno Setup, tries to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable without asking and even if you already have it. However, it also executes some needed stuff (e.g. customizing the database). So download the installer and install it to the default folder. Copy all files to a folder of your choice. Uninstall the application. Launch WinNMP.exe. If you don't want it to install MVC, then:

There are no official System Requirements, so I just wrote those tested by myself. |
IObit Unlocker fixes the permissions on locked files and folders, and also allowing delete, rename, move or copy. It includes an optional Forced mode, which attempts to terminate all related processes that may be affecting the lock status.
IObit Unlocker Portable is a modified version by PortableApps.

Since the original program is not portable, PortableApps stays in the background while the original program runs its course, then deletes its leftovers. |
A freeware that was later open sourced, this is a tool to quickly manage IMAP mail accounts, folders and messages, including uploading existing external messages to them.
Being abandonware, note it uses standard user/password combination for mail accounts and not OAuth.
Gmail, for example, removed direct login support during 2022, meaning one must enable App Passwords+2FA in order to use it.
