Thunderbird Android Sync

[cketti]

Mozilla Sync is a service that allows users to store data in an end-to-end encrypted fashion and synchronize this information between devices. Thunderbird Desktop is implementing Mozilla Sync to exchange information including email accounts, identities, passwords, address books and calendars. We intend to also introduce Mozilla Sync to Thunderbird for Android.

At the beginning, information synced by Thunderbird for Android will be limited to:

• mail server settings (incoming and outgoing)
• identities
• passwords

We're planning to use the (Rust) sync implementation from Firefox Application Services (a-s) that is made available on Android via Android Components (AC).
