How to share mail folder from network drive ?
We have 3 computers using the same imap-folder, mostly read only / inbox is what is important, not the sent-items.
Now the imap folder is way too big, it costs too much make quota bigger. And using other provider like gmail is not an option.
So.. if we can archive the mail from this folder with one pc to archive folder, how to move this archive folder into the nas drive / network drive (k: in all windows pc:s) so that other users can also read the folder ? writing is not even needed.
Or is there a way to use mail-profile-file from network drive directly without catastroph?
it's not the default account in thunderbird. All are window 7 or 8 pc:s.

No. a) read-only folders is not an option in Thunderbird b) Bad, bad, bad to share OS folders/files to multiple running Thunderbird instances.
If the mails you can take out of imap really are an "archive", then sure make them local. But don't attempt to share them - one copy per thunderbird
Well is there any other way?
I can think of putting a local imap-server on the NAS drive, but then again we need to separately backup that one in a restorable format.
Is there a way to archive and convert the messages to any other file format perhaps that allows multiple users?
