How to sync TB folders and filters between home and work PCs?
I use filters, folders, and sub-folders extensively on my work computer (currently 100+ folders.) I can download these work-related TB emails on my home PC, but I cannot figure out how to download/update filters and folders from my work PC to my home PC. I am not a tech-savvy user of TB and have failed, so far, to find simple instructions for solving the foregoing problem. Would be grateful for any and all help.

How is the account set up, POP or IMAP? IMAP is usually the best method to synchronize mail folders between multiple devices. The filters in TB can't be synced the same way as mail, but it's possible to manually copy the filter file in the profile folder, msgFilterRules.dat, from one account to another, on the same computer or a different one. A better way would be to define the filters at the mail provider's end, so that they act before the mail is downloaded to TB on any computer. In other words, run filters on the server, then access the account via IMAP on any device, including desktop computers with TB or mobile devices.
