When I wish to switch to (or from) my laptop, I stop fetchmail and run unison - it then checks the trees on both boxes, and copys what is necessary between them, I can then start fetchmail on the other computer. I find it rather better than rsync, as it works in both directions, and offers some conflict resloution.
