Hi! I'd like to set up a network with Thunderbird, but a bit tricky way. We have multiple PCs on a local network. I want to keep all the mails (inbox, sent, trash) on #1, and I want the others to leech the data from there (and also sync the labels on the mails). Also would be great to get the same effect with the diary. Some one help me please! :) (I've tried that I set up POP3 accont on #1 and #2, shared the "Local library" of the #1 and I gave it's path for #2 (also with POP3 settings). My problem is that using IMAP we have to erase the older-than-60days mails because they need too much space on the server, but we should keep all our mails (ins, outs, trashes), and we should see synced on all computers (included the lables (or color tags), because we communicate between us by coloring the mails). Thank you! :)

You can't do this with Thunderbird - thunderbird is not a mail server.

IMO you real solution is to get more disk space on your mail server.
