Thanks for your response.
That is actually what I do with kmail - run it on my desktop,
and access it on my laptop with WiFi.
This is perfectly acceptable from the point of view of speed.
Basically, I was wondering if there was a better way of doing it.
With knode, for example, I imagine one could download
.kde/share/config/knoderc .

I'm reluctant to share /home under nfs.
What happens if one is not connected to the machine with /home on it?
