I would like to synchronize my local mail between two or maybe three computers. Basic idea would be to use rsync
I use rsync to do that. But pay attention, I use it in a master/slave configuration : my laptop is the master and my desktop the slave; which is a normal backup configuration.
The reason is that is not possible to guarantee that in a sync operation you don't delete older messages, in one of the computers, that you have not read yet. Any way, the man page of rsync has a good example of a complete synchronization, copying and deleting files in two computers.

I have many email accounts and I use a very simple solution. I found KMail to be painfully slow, so I use Thunderbird. I use Thunderbird in this way: 1) I have each account set to leave the messages on the server; and 2) each account is set to delete the messages from the server when I either: a) delete the message, or b) move it to another folder; and 3) each account is set to BCC: new msgs back to the account they are being sent from. No syncing involved with that strategy. I can go to a client site, and on a client's workstation or server I can pull up all the email from any account I want to use; or, likewise, I can be at home and have the same email available to me. Granted, this is a low tech solution--but it works!! ;-) :-D
