I want to make message filters synchronizing over Dropbox. For this I have put msgFilterRules.dat in Dropbox folder and in my Thunderbird profile folder made symbolic link. I can open symbolic link in notepad. But when Thunderbird starts it creates new empty list of rules. How to fix?

Thunderbird 52.4.0 (32-bit), Windows 7 Ultimate x64

You can't fix.

Don't do this.
