Is there a way to sync Filters and Junk Controls across the same Thunderbird account on multiple devices?
I run Thunderbird on a laptop and two desktops. Regardless of how many devices I use to access my email account(s), I would like to sync the Filters and the Junk Control settings across devices. Ideally I would be able to pick-and-choose all of my settings to sync across devices. Is there a way to sync Filters? How about Junk Controls? Also, is there a way to sync these on one machine across multiple accounts?
I didn't see anything addressing this specific issue in searching the forum.
Thanks, Sky

Filters and junk settings can't be synced automatically. The only method is to manually copy msgFilterRules.dat and training.dat between profiles.

Thanks for the info. That's too bad. If I knew how I'd write something to merge these things on the fly. Is there a way to enter an Enhancement Request?

Go here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird, should be a button to the right—you may have to scroll around
