Some times I have thunderbird running in my main PC in the office but want to view and send mails on my laptop on the network in another room using the same Thunderbird instance that's already going in the office.
If I ssh -X to the office PC, I would think I could do:
thinking the -new-instance would make a fresh window then send it over ssh tunnelling instead of just foregrounding the existing window on the remote office PC that I can't see.
But doing this gets a "thunderbird not responding, close existing instance" warning (note I'm just running the remote thunderbird with no options and I don't have a thunderbird running already on the laptop)
Other than resorting to VNC is there a simple way to do this?
