In order to do that, you have to share the directory with the message
base. When you setup TB as server for another TB client, it doesn'rt
act as a real server, it's intended for one system with internet
access that manages the connectivity for the whole network.

Not wise. You'd need to share your mail directory with systems
connecting via the internet, that's the worst safety risk I  can
imagine.

A> How I would I do that?

You wouldn't, believe me.

Best way to get the mail on both systems, would be copy your account
settings to your laptop. Set both accounts to leave mail on server
(for such a long period that you're sure that you check your mail with
your laptop.)
Keep your desktop running, checking mail every hour or so, so that
you'll have copies of every mail on your desktop.
As you check mail with your laptop, the mail will be left on the
server by both systems until one of them decides to delete it.
Depends a bit on your server space of course.

When you're regularly of site, an imap account might be best, but
maybe you'd prefer a different client than TB for that purpose.
