Keeping your LAPTOP up to date with your PC?

[gizbug]

I'm curious if users have any tips/tricks on how they keep their info on their laptop current with that on the desktop? Right now I only check my mail on the desktop.
I use gmail, and it seems like the only way to check mail in outlook express is via POP. If I do this, then it wont download at home.

Any advice on keeping two computer current with mail and bookmarks, appreciate it.

I use "Second Copy 2000" to sync folders between the desktop and laptop. It's not automatic but workable.

I'd like to hear what others do too.

I use a program called Syncback to synchronize files between my backup drive an my main drive. I'm sure it could be used between computers on a network too.

for bookmarks I use the google bookmark sync addon in firefox, it syncs my bookmarks and cookies thru google.

MS SyncToy is supposed to be pretty good

Here's an odd suggestion: use all online services. Webmail, delicious for bookmarks, Google Reader for RSS feeds, there is probably an online service for each individual need you have

Maybe not the best answer, but an answer

Another vote for Syncback.

Since Roboform has worked so well for me, I decided to try its sync companion . .

Goodsync

It works well.
