I use unison to sync my maildirs (much faster than POP/IMAP) and extsmail [1] to send my e-mail via ssh whenever a connection is found. This is a very simple setup, but it has the advantage that it requires no more config than is needed for normal ssh. I find it much easier than e.g. setting up SMTP/TLS on various machines. It also means that synchronising things across multiple machines works well. I spend huge chunks of time offline (e.g. I'm writing this on a train), and this setup has worked well for me for several years.
