Well, one alternative you may consider looking into is AFS (Andrew File
System). I've never used it myself, but IIRC it supports "disconnected"
use, with syncing upon reconnect. If you put your mail directory via
AFS and then mount that from your laptop, you should be able to
disconnect and then reconnect later, and the filesystem would take care
of the syncing. However in this case I do recommend (again) Maildir, as
I'm not sure how will it would handle changes to a single file while
disconnected (ie. mbox folders).
>From what little I know of AFS, it's not simple to set up, so may be too
complex for this kind of use. Still, it may be worth looking into.
