Mainly because of the problems keeping filters up to date on both installations. The result can be that messages get into different folders on both machines, and this leads to duplicates. The other reason is a very practical one - laptops are relatively easy to loose or damage, so I would rather hold messages on the server for a few days so I can be sure that I get them on my desktop PC than depend on being able to synchronize from the Laptop. The other thing to remember with Synchronisation is that it is a one-way process - it makes the Installation A the same as Installation B, by moving messages that are not on A but are on B onto A. This means that to do a full synchronisation (matching both installations) you have to run it twice, making different machines the target and destination each time, if you see what I mean!
