We're using keywords within Thunderbird, and we're syncing those using IMAP. When using more than 5 keywords, we're envcountering problems - they're only partially being synced (between two clients, but not all clients).
Any idea why this could be happening?
The introduction of tagging in Thunderbird is described here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114656

IMAP
Thunderbird tries to store tags on the server using IMAP keywords. If the IMAP server doesn't support that it will store lags locally in the .msf file for the folder. That means that another PC can not see the labels.
A quick and dirty way to test where tags are stored would be to exit Thunderbird and delete the .msf file, and see if the tags disappeared. A more sophisticated way is to log into the IMAP account and to check whether the PERMANENTFLAGS server response to the SELECT command contains \* (see RFC 3501).This page explains how to manually connect to an IMAP server.
