I've changed the way I use my laptop and desktop and it would be useful
if I could transfer my Thunderbird data files onto my Synology 918+
server and access them from there.

Is it possible to access the same files from both the laptop and the
desktop and not end up with a mess? I'm using POP3 and would prefer not
to switch to IMAP if that's relevant.

You can copy your Thunderbird profile to the NAS and have Thunderbird pick
it up from a network share, but I think Thunderbird will only allow one
client to use a profile at a time. So you could do it, but you'd have to
close TB on one machine before opening on another.

Also, things get awkward if the versions of TB on each machine are
different, so you'd need to upgrade both at the same time.

This is all a bit confusing to me - is TB a mail server as well as a
client ?

MHA / MTA :-\

No, it can just store its datafiles on a mapped drive on a server, can't
remember if it uses a lock file to keep multiple TBs from accessing it
at once?

Thanks, that sounds like it's doable with a little care.
