In theory, an app can use the NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore class to sync prefs between multiple devices, but it has an issue. From the Apple docs:<br>
<br>
"To use this class, you must distribute your app through the App Store or Mac App Store"<br>

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.</p>

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.</p>
