If your mail service offers IMAP, this is unnecessary since your mail
stays on the server and appears the same regardless of which machine or
mail software is used to access it.

If your current mail service does not offer IMAP, Google's free gmail
service does. Just forward your current mail box to your gmail account.

Microsoft's free SyncToy program will sync any two (or more) directories
across a network if you're using Windows. I use mine to sync my photos
and other data across a WiFi network, but it should work with any files
and any directories. There are several options - full sync, overwrite etc.
