Gmail good.

Ooooo. hum. Ok. There's nothing that I see in Mail.app that lets you set the location of it's data. I know you can replace ~/Library/Mail/ with a symlink, and Mail will follow that. (that's how one puts thy mails onto an encrypted disk image). I donno if you can make that symlink point to something over afp. Probably not; afp isn't that reliable anyway. I know that Dropbox will do it. You put a symlink to the mail directory in each machine's Dropbox folder. Then Dropbox will keep the two machines sync'd. The new vers of Dropbox will even do the sync directly across your LAN instead of via Amazon's S3 storage servers.
