I have seen the solution to the popstate problem with Thunderbird posted as simply removing the Thunderbird profile files from Dropbox. But that defeats the purpose of having Dropbox sync my profile and emails across my devices. Is there a solution which allows the Thunderbird files to remain in my Dropbox?

Thunderbird is a local client email program. It MUST reside in dropbox (if I'm employing dropbox as my syncing agent) in order to have the file directories, stored emails, current state of threads, etc., synced on all devices so that when I open Thunderbird on my desktop, it is current with where I left off on my laptop, etc. If I was relying on the servers for syncing, I wouldn't need Thunderbird. If I move the files out of my dropbox, it defeats the entire purpose.

Tnx, I'll check that out
Speak to your email provider about changing from what I assume is a POP3 server to an IMAP or Exchange one.
