The goal is to have the mail all in the same place no matter which OS I am running. Each of the OSes have a different default path to the profile and mail folders.

I guess I'm gonna ruin things by now bottom posting.

This may work but I see nothing but trouble down this path - it may work
but it is likely to explode.

I would heavily recommend the type of thing that I am doing...I have a
box that is just a server - running linux of course. It has a
substantial procmail set of rules to divide the incoming mail and put it
into my personal directory into folders. I used to have it accepting
email for my domain but when I switched to Cox Home account, I had to
switch to retrieving email via fetchmail.

I then use imap from any computer on my network whether it be Macintosh,
Windows or Linux and have access to all the email.

As for the address book, I sync my palm phone (Kyocera 7135) to each
computer.

I also use this server as my central file repository so I have access to
all my files from all the computers as well as a print server. This
allows me to stupidly destroy the OS on any workstation without worrying
about my data.
