I have no problem with the two articles being merged. I'm not quite sure how we got into this situation since I don't remember seeing the other one at the time though there are obvious similarities. It doesn't matter.  I had used "multiple machines" in the title because of several threads where somebody was trying to synch more than two PCs plus a PDA. Its also not clear to me why the merged article has to be explicitly Thunderbird only since most (possibly all) of the methods should also work for Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey. I suspect even SynchingThunder works with Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey since its a standalone program that doesn't appear to be Thunderbird aware, it just wants you to browse a profile and click on the mbox files.  I suggest we live with the current name but you add (to the existing merged article) the tag you created that states a article was written for Thunderbird but might also apply to Mozilla Suite/Seamonkey.
Everything in Ed Mullen's article seems to be in the knowledge base article. I suggest we drop that external link.

This seems rather redundant with Synchronizing mail on two computers (Thunderbird). Why not merge them into a single article? --wintogreen 05:34, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

I have no problem with the two articles being merged. I'm not quite sure how we got into this situation since I don't remember seeing the other one at the time though there are obvious similarities. It doesn't matter. I had used "multiple machines" in the title because of several threads where somebody was trying to synch more than two PCs plus a PDA. Its also not clear to me why the merged article has to be explicitly Thunderbird only since most (possibly all) of the methods should also work for Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey. I suspect even SynchingThunder works with Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey since its a standalone program that doesn't appear to be Thunderbird aware, it just wants you to browse a profile and click on the mbox files. I suggest we live with the current name but you add (to the existing merged article) the tag you created that states a article was written for Thunderbird but might also apply to Mozilla Suite/Seamonkey.
