The problem is that it's a two-way synchronization. I was, at one point,
working on a program that would do such a synchronization. Basicly, you
have to track the disposition of each local Maildir and propogate changes
to the other side. I had a bunch of code that should have done just this,
but there was a bug in it. I eventually abandoned this because right
around this time we no longer had a need for dealing with e-mail on
two machines.
I have some other ideas for a system that would effectively allow for
distributed, peer-relationship clustering of mail servers where mail
could be sent, received, and read on any of the systems in the cluster,
but that will probably be something we do as a commercial project.
