how to sync up new netbook with my home computer for emails, docs.

Here's my plan:

I am going to leave my laptop at my home office and never venture out with it again (too big, batt life low, etc.). I'm going to buy a netbook today to do my mobile work -- mainly emails and Word documents and surfing...nothing heavy duty or graphics-related.

My question is this: is there something I need to do to make the email boxes sync up with each other? The netbook will run off the wifi network at home while the home office computer will continue to use the cable/modem line from Roadrunner.

If I can set it up right from t he get-go, I want to do that, obviously. IF anyone can point me in the right direction, great! And thanks in advance!

This is a pretty good tutorial for file sharing:

Once you are networked, you can use someting like synctoy to keep the files syncronized
