Forgot to mention. All your folders can be stored on the imap server, so that your sent messages etc., are available on all systems. James Knott wrote:
Fetchmail can be used to collect the mail from a POP server.

If you are using a mail service form an ISP, you may not be able to use IMAP. You would have to find out by asking.
You can still use POP and admittedly, it is not as good a solution as IMAP, but it will work.
You can configure your mail client to leave messages on the server for a number of days or forever depending on what you want to do. Just don't let your mailbox fill up.
Then go and configure the other mail client to do the same.
The draw back is that your address book, sent messages etc, are not shared, only your inbox.

know of a site called "Setting up Netscape Messenger to store the mail database centrally to be accessed from any linux PC on the network" (please Creator, let there be such a site!). : )
The feature you need is called IMAP, and it has to be supported by your mail server. Your email client has to support IMAP as well, I'm not sure about Netscape, but Mozilla does it perfectly.
Good news - IMAP service installation is simple and described on many sites.
