I have learned the value of using IMAP and this allows me to view/use the same email account on different folders.

I will soon be in a position where I will have an employee who is working remotely, to help manage a shared email account for the business.

For this, IMAP works fine.

But, there are various add ons QNote for example, they allows keeping note attached to an email, and tags that are available with in TBird that allows categorizing emails.

I am trying to find a solution that allows features like these to be shared in the email account with remote users. on other computers. Can this be done? with Thunderbird? How?

I read somewhere about sharing profiles via a SHARE, or maybe a dropbox like solution. Is this viable, and would it work well?

Thanks for any ideas.

You appear to be wanting to access one account simultaneously. That's a different can of worms. With your IMAP account, you are accessing either with phone or PC or laptop, but not simultaneously. As long as you two do not use the account at same time, there should be no problem. TB, itself, doesn't do what you want, but maybe someone else here can suggest an approach. And maybe concurrent access wasn't in your plans.

Thanks for the reply.

I never really thought about concurrent usage or not. But, I suppose there is a possibility of overlap. I suppose the issue would arise if we both tried to manipulate the same message at the same time.

I thoughts we also with the add-ons and the tags that attach information on to each message when used. This might cause the same issue, if reading and writing to the profile config files that would contain this information.

The idea came up after seeing google do something similar. I know TBird is not Gmail, but many of th efeatures overlap, and this would be very useful.

THanks

Any body might have any other ideas? Suggestions? Can TBird be used in this manner, or is it best to find another solution?

Storing profiles in Dropbox accounts is not recommended. If you could avoid simultaneous access to IMAP folders, information could be added to messages by editing the Subject or message source with an add-on:

Tags only work if the IMAP server supports key words.
