The mail files, etc. are just files. If you accept different mail on both machines, you'll have to find some special way to sychronize them, but if you sync-the files, receive mail on *only* one, then sync-the-files you could just use "rsync" to keep the files up to date between the machines. If you sync, receive mail on one, receive *other* mail on the other, want-to-sync, you can't use the synchronize-the-containing-files approach. You'll have to come up with something more exotic, like writing a program to extract mails from the files on both machines and merge them. Evolution does allow importing a mail, etc. file - perhaps that merges duplicates. I haven't tried it.
