G'day all,

I've search high and low but haven't been able to find anything that addressed this use case:

"My spouse and I have different computers, different email addresses and different TB (v115) profiles. We would like to create a 'shared' folder (with subfolders) that we keep common stuff in. The shared folders would sync over the local network."

Currently, at home, we have a NAS that is running an IMAP server and we can use that. But when we are away from home that doesn't work. Having a solution that syncs over the local network would be the best solution as that would work anywhere; even if we are both using a phone as a hotspot.

I know we could create a cloud based IMAP account but we don't want to keep this personal information in the cloud so that is not an option.

Are there any add-ons or other methods to do this?

Thanks

You find little information because it is a very poor idea. Thunderbird expects full control of all of it's files. It does not handle streaming backup or syncing with any grace at all. Duplication or loss of data are common outcomes.
