Sync? Just connect to your accounts on each machine? Or are you using POP3 and want that to sync?

- dijit 1y agoI guess they mean that they want their accounts to be synced (setup is annoying tbh), but also things like signatures and so on. I normally just manage it myself and I'm extremely happy to do so, as I consider it like my dotfiles, but I understand where the parent is coming from - settings sync is becoming common. (Chrome is a good example).
- XorNot 1y agoAll I need out of it is a slightly sensible file based config scheme. Syncthing will do the rest.
- CoolChum 1y agoYou need to export the profile and re-import on each machine. If you make any changes on one machine you want to see it reflected on the others. The profile import is a bit iffy and there was some odd issues with downloading profiles over 2GB IIRC, the last time I did it (which was over 2 years ago). There seems to be a lot of focus on features that IMO that I couldn't care less about and some outright stupid UI decisions like the context menus being changed after 20 years for god knows what reasons. The result was that I just gave up and use Thunderbird on one machine and web-mail on all the others. I suspect I will just drop Thunderbird as a result.
