I use synchronisation regularly between my desk-based machine and my laptop. There are two things to note. 1. Synchronisation is *one-way* so if you have messages on each computer, you will need to run synchronisation *twice* with each computer as the target in turn. 2. Synchronisation does not delete anything - so it is ideal for situations like yours, because the worse you can end up with is duplicates, which are easy to get rid of.
