So I'll be taking receipt of my first laptop in the next few days, what's the deal now with synching up emails, documents and stuff on Windows 7 as I've never tried any of this sort of thing before?

In terms of email I know you can set your mail app not to download from the server which is great, but then I still have to go in at some point and manually delete all the emails from the server don't I? Or is there a special way of having my main computer be set as a sort of master that I can have clear off all emails on the server when I close Live Mail for instance? The ideal situation would be to have both the laptop and the computer left on at the same time and able to both receive the same emails, but I don't know if this is possible.

In terms of documents, I'm guessing things have moved on from'My Briefcase'? Say I want to share my work folder and be able to add/update files from the laptop, is the best idea for shared documents just to use folder sharing?

Any other cool things I might like to do that I've not thought about yet?

Cheers guys

Nas + Offline files?

I'm using my NAS for backup rather than main storage at the moment, but I guess that could work better. I'd then keep a backup on my 2nd NAS as well as the PC.

I use my Nas and Dropbox for important files, that keeps everything synch.

IMAP mail and Dropbox, bitches.

If you go pop3 there's a delete from server after x days option.

Offline files in 7 works pretty well compared to the XP crap.

I just set do not delete off server on mobile devices and I set delta after x days on my pc and I am all good.
MacBook pro, iPhone and pc

Cheers guys, I'll give the delete after x days option a go then and maybe see if offline files works well enough.
