Firefox Sync (for Thunderbird)

[hutcheon]

I'd like to be able to keep the thunderbird settings, layouts, etc in sync across multiple systems (and ideally, mobile).

This is planned as part of the effort described at https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/firefox-sync-for-thunderbird/idi-p/28971.  Please vote for that idea.

Is there a roadmap fot this?

[rains]

yes, me too, really looking forward to this, got any updates, we can hang on?
thanks mozilla devs, been a fav for ever

Will the sync contain list of running filters?

Will these filters then run also in the mobile version (when it will eventually get firefox sync too)?

Is there any progress on this feature?

This would be so lovely and need, and a mager benefit for most users.

In particular I'm curious which of the following will be synced: tasks, contacts, events.

Add Firefox Sync to Thunderbird for parameters, exceptions, and maybe more

It could be great to have the opportunity to sync all Thunderbird's stuff possible using my Firefox Sync account.

Yes, I really waiting for this ! Run thunderbird on different PC and find back my config, tags, folders, adress book, add-on, signatures... It would ne great !

Full user sync is the only thing missing from Thunderbird for me. I use multiple computers, and find myself reinstalling my OS and apps frequently to test different Linux distros. Having the capability to sign in to my Thunderbird account to import all of my settings, and accounts would be a game changer. I could foresee this being a potential security issue, but assuming it can be done safely the benefits are obvious. Having this same functionality in Firefox is one of the major reasons I continue to use Firefox as my daily driver.

I heard it's going to beta soon, but we'll see.

As part of this, I would also like to sync my selections for "Allow remote content from". I am regularly adding more exceptions, and have to do this for each machine Thunderbird is installed.

Any update on this? I seem to remember it mentioned in relation to Thunderbird Pro but I can't find it anymore. Being able to sync tags and the "Allow remote content" would massively improve workflow as most users have more than one device.
