I did some googling but did not find what I was looking for, probably
not using the the right terms.

I have 2 machines A) suse 10.2 B) suse 10.1, I would like to have an
account on the B machine that uses / shares a home directory with an
account with the same name on the A machine so I can be able to read my
email from either. Both machines are on an internal network. I didn't
really want to do a remote desktop..
Why not share your /home via NFS?

And of course you need to mount the /home from the server on the client machines. Can either be done in /etc/fstab or with the automounter.

Or he could set up an imap mail server and fetchmail. That way, all email clients will be in sync.
