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.

Lemme try this...
