actually, you make use of the IMAP filters. This works better than
filtering locally, because otherwise, sometimes you are filtering with
one machine sometimes with the other, and when you need a new filter,
you'll need it on each machine,

It took me a minute to sort out what you said here, but yes, when you
archive, it's only one place. You could work around that, perhaps by
copying what you are going to delete on the first machine, before
archiving on the second. Whether something like that would be
necessary would possibly depend on what your quota is. Mine is 600 mb,
and I've never gotten past 50 or 60% of that. I still only archive
every couple of months or longer, except one mailing list I'm on which
sometimes hits around five thousand messages in a month.
