Hi Mark, 

these are IMAP-accounts, so all messages and folders are synchronized
between the mail server and the connected mail clients, no matter on
which machines.  This (usually) means that when you configure a mail
program on a newly installed system which such an IMAP-account it
downloads all messages and folders on the server. There is one central
profile if you wish, no matter when you created the folder and received
the messages, they will show up on all configured mail clients.
