I run Thunderbird on both my desktop and laptop computers and often move emails to local folders. How can I keep the two installations of my local folders in sync?

The simplest approach to keeping multiple devices in sync is to use the IMAP protocol and avoid the use of local folders altogether. Keep everything on the server.
