How about automatically syncing email filters in Thunderbird?

I use Thunderbird on a couple of computers but I end up needing to manually create and update my filters on each machine. It would be nice to be able to automatically sync the filters so any changes or additional filters would be available on all of the machines. Even being able to export the filters and import them on another machine would be a help.

There are add-ons for exporting and importing message filters, though I can't see one right now that's being actively maintained.

You can also go about it by by copying the message rule files between computers. Each account has a file named msgFilterRules.dat which hold the rules for that account.

Thanks, Boss! A manual solution is definitely better than nothing.
