I have Thunderbird on multiple computers. I am finding that the sent folder is only synced with messages sent from that computer. I'll like to have the sent folder synchronized across all computers for the same account. I've selected "sent" in the list of folders to synchronize, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

I'm using Rackspace IMAP for my email provider and Thunderbird 24.6.0

Is that what you use on all computers you want to sync as well?

If you check Account Settings>Copies & Folders and look at the part where it says When sending messages, automatically: what does it say there? If you have the Place a copy in: box checked make sure that the "Sent" Folder on: is checked and not set to anything in "Local Folders". It could be that the sent message is being saved to a local folder on each of your machines, thus no synchronization. Instead you will want them to be placed in a folder on the mail server. Hope this helps!
