821569 - Feature Request: Sync option through server like Firefox has

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 621198

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

[Sebastien]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20121128204232

Steps to reproduce:

Nothing.


Actual results:

I love the Firefox option that allows to sync Firefox settings through different computers. It is really useful for backup (bookmarks, settings, add-ons, etc.), and synchronizing if you use several computers.
But I find this option missing in Thunderbird..


Expected results:

I think that we could have a similar option that allows synchronization between Thunderbird clients between different computers.
Of course, it should not synchronize mails (that are heavies, and should remain local and/or on IMAP server), but preferences, account settings, plug-ins, lightning settings.
Basically, the same that you already have done for Firefox, but adapted to Thunderbird.
