I am using Thunderbird Mail on two different computers, checking the same mail accounts. I'd like to sync them so I'm not going through the same messages on both machines.
I thought to move my T-bird user profile to my dropbox folder and let dropbox do the syncing for me, but that approach is problematic according to both the dropbox forums and google in general.
Has anyone else had success syncing THunderbird across multilple pcs?
I'm running slackware 14.0 on one machine, and Windows 8 on the other, if that makes any difference...
I see...the problem is that I'm using thunderbird to manage the mail on my godaddy pop3 webmail account. Would I need a separate IMAP mail server to manage this? Its just me and my one account...
Also the Win8 machine travels with me to work, while the Slackware box is connected to my home network. I connect the w8 unit to the internet via my android phone. Running a mail server from home isn't really an option.
