Here is how I do something similar (I don't need to get all emails to both
systems), and some other alternatives:
What I do now:
* On my main desktop (which I normally use to send and receive emails), I
use kmail, which I consider a "Windows style" email client (because I don't
know what else to call it--it sends email via SMTP and receives email via
POP3--it (the PC) doesn't use anything like an MTA (e.g., postfix)) and is set
to delete emails from the server).
My email provider / server is Google (which I don't really like because of the
insecurity, but I started using it a long time ago and haven't bothered to
switch)--for really confidential emails I use encryption).
On the other PC, which I use only rarely to receive or send emails, I use a
browser to access my google mail account. Even though I set kmail on the
other PC to delete emails from the server, google keeps them in the "all mail"
file for something like 30 days. (Aside: I forget how emails sent from the
second PC get to the first--I'll have to test that--they do seem to get there.)
Other alternatives:
* Use, for example, kmail on both PCs, but use something like rsync to keep
the mail folders in sync on both PCs.
* <darn--getting old is a pain--I thought of a second alternative--I'll
post again if I remember... ;-) >
