How to access mail if different users use same email - sent, trash, etc, are not the same in both user's thunderbird. How do I fix that?
I have different users on my computer, me, spouse, etc. We share the same email. I have thunderbird loaded correctly in one account. In the other account it only grabs the inbox messages, not the sent messages. How do I get it so both thunderbirds work in both accounts on the same computer? Right now I need to switch user to view the sent emails that are sent from the other account.

Set-up all accounts as IMAP.
I have, and it did not solve the problem.
IMAP will sync messages, but if your sharing on a single computer you would probably be better off sharing the same profile. It is not as if you will both be using it at the same time. The information in this link should help with that.
