Thanks, Jonathan. I may have more questions when I actually try and do this,
but hopefully this will work. Thanks, again.

Map a network drive to the other PC from your laptop. Install TB! on
your desktop PC, use all the normal settings etc. When installing on
the Laptop, it asks you where you want to store your mail, direct it
to the folder on the other PC. Add the accounts, and you should be
set to go... I think... I've not tried or tested this ;) Maybe
somebody that has been using it longer would know the effect. I'm
sure one possible issue with that setup is you'd have to make sure
they both weren't open at the same time. But I cannot see anything
too bad with it.
