Mark Space software has a package named SyncTogether that will do this  
for you; although the web page says it only syncs Mail settings and  
not the actual mail messages themselves. To get synced mail between  
several different machines . . . the easiest way is to use IMAP  
instead of POP for connection. It's also possible if you were to set  
up MacOS X Server and it's associated portble homedirectories option;  
then you're not really syncing two different Macs but syncing the same  
account between two different Macs.


SyncTogether is 50 bucks but you may have to pay for upgrades . . .  
Leopard Server is 500 bucks . . . Dot Mac is 80 bucks a year.
