I have been using Live Mesh for quite a while now (started using at Tech Preview time).
I have included my Mozilla Thunderbird mail data directory into the Live Mesh so that I could have all mail backed-up remotely.
Backing up Thunderbird mail has been fine with Tech Preview version but it's been a nightmare for me since the new Beta version has been released -
Thunderbird stores each folder as a separate file. The folder file where the email ends up gets updated every time I receive email. Immediately I get a conflit ("Resolve Conflicts" window pops up) asking whether I want to go back to the old file or keep the new file. If I ignore the pop-up box (which by the way doesn't pop-up automatically, I've had to discover it), I end up with the new emails disappearing from Thunderbird (Live Mesh seem to keep the old file by default).
I am very frustrated with the bug since some mail eventually got lost because of constant file replacements and was forced to exclude my Thunderbird mail data folder from Live Mesh.
I also wish there was a setting in Live Mesh to set the time interval at which Live Mesh would sync the folders. Keeping Thunderbird in Live Mesh causes too much traffic. I would prefer to sync mail data no more than once per 3 hours to save resources and channel bandwidth.
