Probably make sure both machines run the same version of TB; but I don't know if that matters. Make sure you are happy with the account structure with your mails. Now install TB on the second machine normally, if you haven't already. Run REGEDIT on first machine. Export the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\The Bat! Since you have the same Windows OSs on each machine, that should be simple. Make sure your second machine can access that exported file. Without openning TB, on the second machine, import that registry key. Now while you are still running Regedit, go to that registry section, and advance to Working Directory. Enter here the path to the mail directory on the first machine. You could cut and paste from Windows Explorer or whatever. Quit Regedit. And I think you can run TB now. This should work fine! If it didn't work, go back and make sure you had set the original Mail directory to be shared Full, not Read only. There is some delay accessing big folders from the second machine. You might be able to alleviate that if you know how to write scripts (I don't really).
