I have installed Thunderbird on my IMac and on my MacBook Pro. I have already completely set up Thunderbird on my MacBook Pro. How can I transfer all of my settings, bookmarks, etc., from my MacBook Pro to my IMac? Also, can I automatically keep both copies of Thunderbird synched so that changes on one computer are recognized on another computer.
