I agree with this. I do think it would be a nice feature to at least
synchronize mailboxes, signatures, and tags. It's just one of those

Synchronizing account settings would be tricky although I haven't
thought about it in detail.
I miss the old "MobileMe" prefs sync. It *mostly* worked...
In theory, an app can use the NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore class to sync
prefs between multiple devices, but it has an issue. From the Apple
docs:
"To use this class, you must distribute your app through the App
Store or Mac App Store"
One thing that MIGHT work for the settings that are in the 'defaults'
subsystem (I have not tried it, because I value my email...) is to
use its "export" and "import" subcommands to dump the settings to a
file that can be loaded on another machine. That has all sorts of
problematic edge cases, such as the fact that in my case the 2
machines I would be keeping in sync are a 27" iMac and a 13" Macbook.
The different screen sizes mean that I don't want the same window
sizes or default layouts or columns or even fonts on both machines. So
if a dump/load approach was used, there would need to be some way to
protect machine-specific settings.
Synchronizing MM settings and config can be done through some cloud
service or through some imap service (as discussed a while ago). What I
am missing yet is syncing the spamsieve settings and data. I regularly
run into issue that spam handling on each computer does not agree with
each other and mails are showing up in wrong places.
