But it's still bizarre that, with Thunderbird, you can export/import the

Why would you need to? If your mail store is IMAP, just let it rebuild.
A welcome improvement would be to have a button to export/import the
whole farkin' thing.
Instead, when I installed TB on my laptop, I had to open the account
settings on my desktop, and screen by screen, manually copy the data
into my laptop TB install. A long and tedious and error-prone process,
as there are endless screens and config settings.
scp -rp ~/.thunderbird <target machine>
will shove your whole TB directory to the new box.
unison and/or rsync will keep it synced. I prefer unison because it's bidi.
I don't have any suggestions for automagic cloud sync because I don't
like automagic cloud sync.
