And vice versa.
While I see no reason to have all messages on both machiens, people
work differently. Steve Lamb has a system by archiving all mails on a
zip drive and carrying them back and forth - ftp would do it too. This
way, all messages are on both machines.
However, your question concerns the despatcher.

It is really annoying having to click on a couple messages, scrolling
down, clicking on the next couple,... I did this once.

Not that I know of.

Sometimes; rarely. As it requires an online connection, I use pine
right on the server when I need to delete messages without
downloading. Thus, I think, a keyboard shortcut that deletes a message
and moves the cursor to the next message would come in handy in the
despatcher. I mean "D" in pine; this would probably be
"crtl-shft-alt-F12-enter-numlock-esc-D" in TB - but only if you use a
US keyboard <g>.
