While I do plead ignorance about mail servers, software resident on the 
users machine can do what it wants.
Since PGP already exists in Thunderbird, a server is not required for 
updating.
Theoretically, If I'm using TB on two machines that uses a PGP tied to 
an e-mail address, both would be allowed to interact about changes to each.
A change in the status, say a "marked as Deleted" creates a time stamped 
"STATUS" file.  This file is e-mailed and received when you go to 
another machine to get your email in Thunderbird.  Thunderbird says "You 
have received a STATUS update. Would you like to apply it? YES / NO.
This is a clue...
