I use web mail myself. My wife uses web2mail to check her mail at work but it is a POP3 so it is a problem if she leaves her home computer with outlook open. Our ISP comcast allows for a setting to keep a copy of all messages on their server even if they have been downloaded to outlook. Another option is Apple's Mobile Me which allows for syncing between computers Mac or Windows to some degree. This has always been one of my favorite Apple products when it was .MAC but lately I have not been impressed with Mobile Me and its $100 a year costs. But I guess Apple has been working the bugs out.

I set all the "alternate systems" (systems I wish to read & respond to email, but not my "main system" where I file email) to "leave email on server". That way, I can read and respond to email on my laptop (always adding myself as a BCC recipient). But when I go on my "main system" at home, all the emails are still delivered and I can delete or file them as I wish.
Since most of my trips and use of the laptop are brief, the volume of emails on the server doesn't become a problem.
