What MUA are you using on the laptop? Rather than duplicating the mails on
two machines I would suggest just adding Courier-IMAP to your current mail
server and using an IMAP capable client to read your mail from the laptop
wherever you may be.
I use this setup and use Sylpheed when on the home machine and the Win32
version of Mahogany when at work. I will probably set up Mahogany on my
laptop for travelling but I also have Squirrelmail set up on the server
should I have access to nothing but a browser.
When I get another home machine set up running testing (server is running
stable) I will most likely install Mahogany there and use it as my primary
reader machine to have a similar interface across platforms. I couldn't get
the Win32 version of Sylpheed to install clean on the work machine.
Courier-IMAP uses maildir format so you should be able to incorporate it
easily.
