Assuming the two machines are on the same LAN, and updating /mail from 
e.g. laptop to desktop:

E.g. (on laptop):
rsync -avx --delete /home/user/mail/   desktop:/home/user/mail

  (Note the trailing "/" after the first "/mail". Important (otherwise 
it will add a new /mail directory into the target /mail directory!).

If /mail is in maildir format, rsync will only send those message 
files that are different (to replace) or new. 

--delete will remove files on desktop that are not in the sending 
/mail.
  
Perhaps the first time you try it, you might want to hide the existing 
desktop's /mail somewhere safe!  

N.B. Your /mail may be in a different place in /home. Mine is ~/mail.

Good hunting...
