I can't. I have never used it in this mode. All the help there is for
this right now is what's in the help file as Adam pointed out in one
of his postings.

Adam explained that in detail in an earlier reply to you:

Make sure both machines on the network can currently share files.
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).
