Hello I recently dropped outlook for Thunderbird in my WIN10 installation. I also have Thunderbird running in my Ubuntu 20.04 install. Both OS run on the same machine but on different drives. Today I was cleaning up my email in the Ubuntu environment. I added multiple folders under my Inbox. I figured that I would need to list all of the folders in the WIN10 Thunderbird instance, but when I rebooted into WIN10, I found Thunderbird already had the folders with email contents installed. Is this because my email is IMAP? In other words, I cannot figure how the two separate Thunderbird installs were synchronized.

With an IMAP account, each device, or TB setup, syncs the mail folders with the IMAP server. So, if a folder is created or a message is deleted on one computer or phone or tablet , all of which have the same IMAP account, the change is made on all devices when they sync with the server.
