Multiple OSes, 1 Mozilla profile?

[Austin Godber]

There used to be a server option where you could store your addressbook, 
history, bookmarks and things on a remote server, this would allow you 
to keep different machines mozilla synchronized (actually it may have 
never been in Mozilla, just netscape).  It was pretty handy, but 
everything went over the net in cleartext.  I liked it, but lost the 
server I was using a few years ago.

Actually, user information synchronization is something that needs lots 
of work overall.  There is no solution for keeping all of my information 
synchronized adaquately.  I can keep my home directories in sync with 
Unison, but the dot files become a problem, some of them have to be 
different and some of them have to be the same.  Someday, I hope we see 
a user dataspace abstraction that allows us to have highly portable data 
that can be utilized in any user application.

The goal is to have the mail all in the same place no matter which OS I am running.  Each of the OSes have a different default path to the profile and mail folders.
