Here's a very early implementation of #Firefox Sync running in Thunderbird Daily!
The bones are there and the foundation is solid.
Though it may be called something else by the time we launch it in Thunderbird 115 (such as Thunderbird Sync or #Mozilla Sync), it's a feature we're THRILLED about putting in your hands.

Seriously though, we've been working hard on taking ownership of Flatpak packaging and distribution, and the plan is to also offer Beta and Daily Flatpak channels.

in reply to Alexandru Balan • • •@alexandru_ionut_balan @JogoDetonado Despite its current name, Firefox Sync in Thunderbird has nothing to do with your browser.
We've implemented the technology behind it to securely sync things like your email accounts, passwords, tags, email filters, contacts, and more between Thunderbird clients on multiple PCs.

in reply to CubeOfCheese • • •@cubeofcheese It's also really handy for having Thunderbird on multiple PCs (your tags, filters, preferences will all sync).
Regarding Android, we do plan to support basic syncing with whatever key features Thunderbird for PC and Android both support.

If you told Thunderbird to remember your password, try this: support.mozilla.org/en-US/ques…

in reply to Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox • • •I can't wait to use this, and I definitely will use it.
But, have you or @mozilla ever thought about turning Sync into an open protocol so people can #selfhost it? Just a thought! Would be cool...

in reply to Fell • • •@fell @mozilla This IS possible, but admittedly not an easy feat to accomplish.
As development goes forward, I suspect that will change.
