Hi

I often download locally the emails from my different providers and store it in "Local Folders". I would like to access the folders I created in "Local Folders" (better if only a subset of them) on another machine where I also have Thunderbird. To explain it more clearly: I store in a machine my emails and I would like to access them from another one connected at the same local network.

Therefore, I have two questions:

- What are the drawbacks of having the same "Local Directory" (in Account Settings -> Local Folders) for two different machine (possibly running Thunderbird at the same time)? - Is it possible to have different "Local Folders" in Thunderbird? (so, I can only share a subset of the folders I downloaded locally)

Thanks

I think this add-on will provide the best options:

https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/localfolder/

Thank you for your suggestion.

This add-on seems a bit weird:

  • versions on Thunderbird Add-ons do not correspond to releases in the GitHub repository (and changelog has not been updated since v2)
  • nobody replied to PRs in a while
  • documentation is completely missing

Do you suggest to install this add-on anyway?

However, from your reply I understand that the answer to my second question is: "no (without add-ons)". What about the first one? Is it really dangerous to open the same folder in multiple instances of Thunderbird?

Thanks

The v. 4 add-on works in TB 115. Access the options from Account Settings, Account Actions.

I think it should work fine as long as a folder is accessed by a single user at a time, even if on different computers.
