I believe you are referencing the how-to on setting up TB as a
*mailing list* server. This is quite a bit different than having a
mail server.
There are a few ways in which you could sort-of do what you are
asking.
1. By far the easiest, is to use an IMAP compliant mail server for
your messages. While TB v1.x doesn't quite support IMAP fully, I
have found it sufficient for my needs. Unfortunately, this would be
a problem because you said that you have multiple accounts set up
to collect your mail from different places to put into the main
account.
2. Enable the "keep messages on server" in the account properties at
both home and work. This will let you get your mail at work and at
home. What you will want to do then is to set up an incoming filter
on the home machine with an action of "delete message from server"
option enabled. You will have to fiddle around with the filter
string, but it shouldn't be too hard. This option also does not
help with the multiple account set-up you have.
3. Set up a filter to forward or redirect all incoming mail on your
work machine to send to your home e-mail address. This one does
address your multi-account set-up, but you will have to most likely
include the forwarding/redirect filter in each account. I haven't
tested it, but if TB considers moved messages to one account from
another account as an incoming message, then you might be able to
get away with just having the forward/redirect filter in the main
account. I doubt it though.
4. Set up a filter that exports each incoming message to a designated
folder, and then ftp those exported messages from home and import
them into TB. You'll have to set up this filter for each account
you have.
With exception to option 1, these aren't the greatest ideas. However,
this is what option 1 was designed for; to be able to access your
mailbox(s) with all its messages from multiple computers.
