What is the best way to share a PowerMail mail folder between two
computers, so that only one of them actually stores the mail?

I have a newly AirMac (AirPort) enabled PowerBook G4 and would like to be
able to access my PM mail via the network, and occasionally send e-mail
from the PowerBook using PM. However, I do not want the PM mail stored on
the PowerBook but on the hard disk of my desktop Mac. I intend to use
Apple Mail for mail messages that will physically reside on the
PowerBook, so do not want PM messages stored on its hard disk. What is
the best way to do this? Do I even need the PowerMail application
installed on the PowerBook or would placing it in Users/Shared on the
desktop Mac be enough?

Although I do not like OS X's tendency to try and force you to store data
in specific locations (within predetermined folders or on a shared volume
accessible by all and sundry), this is one case where I would be willing
to move my PM folder and PM user folder to a location that is convenient
for the OS, rather than more logical for the way I store data.

Ta in advance,

Mark
