I use two computers to access the same email account on Thunderbird. I have the same tags set up on both. For over a year now I have been able to tag an email on one computer and it will appear tagged on the other computer as well. However, just recently this has stopped happening. The tags I have applied on one computer no longer show up on the other computer. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I would look at things that interfere with mail, like anti virus and other security programs.

If you create a new folder with one message, then tag it, does the tag appear on the other computer? Since tags are stored in the folder index files, the non-working folders may have corrupted indexes (which might be fixed by right-clicking the folder, Properties, Repair Folder). Backup first in case the Repair function misbehaves.
