Can you sync thunderbird

Please ask a new question if you need help. This is not an IMAP vs. POP question. Everything there works great. Using Provider and Lightning I have successfully integrated my calendar and made it editable. It works perfectly. The problem I now face: I have multiple computers: Desktops at the institution and at home and a laptop. I also run multiple OS - Linux and Windows, dedicated installations on separate computers.

On my laptop running windows I installed Thunderbird and got everything working well. I started building my address book and more. My preferred solution is to let it run normally on my laptop or PC, and just sync that Profiles folder to a thumb drive fewer writes, longer lifespan.

Then on the other side, syncing from the thumb drive to the Profiles folder there. Take Randolphs word for it. I don't actually use an email client since Gmail become good enough any longer and only used Thunderbird briefly many years ago. My answer is based on technical feasibility, not on personal experience. Well it's a reasonable solution, especially if your Thunderbird profile folder is under 2GB for free Dropbox usage.

If it's more, SugarSync apparently allows more storage for their free accounts, and overall cheaper rates. I used Dropbox only as a common and well-known option. Also, getting people to sign up through an affiliate link, I believe you can get up to 5GB free space total on Dropbox? Using this method you cannot open it on both computers.

Chosen solution The only way to do this synchronization permanently is to have your Thunderbird Profile Folder saved somewhere where both computers will always have access to them.

Wimsey Question owner. So I can backup and load pictures to my online photogallery whenever I can.

That gave me the idea that I can easily transfer all my thunderbird profile and emails between computers. Basically, the idea is to transfer all profile and email accounts from one computers to the other. Thunderbird store all profile information and emails at special location.

No system registry are used, which is great! With Microsoft outlook or outlook express, there is no way you do so easily. My goal is to transfer the profile and email account between two Windows XP laptop.

So I first make sure both laptop have the same version of thunderbird installed. I want to move it to the following location on my D: drive data partition. So I copy the entire content under azzhzgz9. Remember to close thunderbird before copying the profile.
