Hi there, I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a while and there seems to be no solution.

I have 40+ email accounts (and adding more all the time)

I use 3 computers (all running the same version of Linux and Thunderbird)

All my email accounts are IMAP of my own server(s)

My problem - when I add an account on one computer, or new folders / filters etc I often forget or don't have time to add them on the other computers, so now my 3 computers have very different configurations.

Is there a way to have the Thunderbird configuration on a server (remote) so that when I make changes on one computer they will be replicated automatically on the others?

I realise I will have to manual re-sync the configs but once I have them all the same again I'd like them to stay that way.

Thanks.

You could put the Profile in a shared location. For each computer point the profiles.ini file to the shared location.

Thank you for those links Toad-Hall.

I've followed the steps and I'm now waiting (been waiting considerably longer than an hour) for Google Drive to sync the profile directory.

My profile directory is 147 MB, which worries me as the speed of the internet connection I have is not great (I'm in Thailand) and if Thunderbird is going to need to sync many files it could be forever sucking up my bandwidth.

Still I'll wait and see if what I've done (creating a new profile on Drive and copying the old profile files to the new folder), actually works and then try pointing my other computers to this remote profile.
