Email syncing question....

[Andrew Konosky]

I only use one e-mail adress, and because I am subscribed to this list, 
I cannot leave the messages on the server because my storage space fills 
up in a matter of days. I would like to be able to access the same 
e-mail account from my laptop and my desktop and have the inbox and 
other folders kept in synch with one another. I have tried this before 
with my two desktop systems and I ended up having lost e-mails because 
they ended up on one system and not the other.

How do I setup either a shared mailbox on my desktop that forwards 
e-mail to my laptop, or maybe an rsync cron job to match the mail 
folders on both systems. Right now I am using Mozilla Thunderbird, but I 
have evolution and kmail installed also.
