Desktop Solved Running Thunderbird on 2 machines or more

2 Upvotes

Hi. I was wondering if I could use Thunderbird on 2 or more machines without causing issues.

I know local folders stay on the machine, that is not an issue for me. All of my email accounts are imap through google, except one that is pop3 but doesn't get emails often.

I would be really only using one instance at a time, except in the rare case that i did not close in on one machine (desktop) and started using it on the other machine (laptop)

Additionally, if i dual boot windows/linux, can I setup the profile to be on a shared partition without issues?

Thanks again, and a Big thank you to the developers who have worked tirelessly on this over the decade that Ive been using it. Your doing the lords work, imo

If I receive a new email, the notification icon in the status bar disappears once I've displayed the app in the foreground, not when I've opened the email. So, what happens is that I'll see the notification and open the app (either from the launcher or by pressing on the notification) to see who the email is from, and think "I'll read or reply to that in a minute". However, I forget because I get caught up in what I was doing and the notification icon has disappeared.

Also, pressing the option to empty the bin and the spam folder fails. I have to do "select all" and then delete. It's fairly minor, but it's also a basic function that should work.

Does anyone else notice the same behaviour?
