I'm using POP and set up Evolution to delete retrieved mails for each
account after one day.

[x] Leave messages on server
Delete after 'x' days

For 'x' chose a time that fits to your needs.

This only fails for mails without a 'Date' header, but then you still
could save the mail as mbox to an USB stick and load it by the other
computer's MUA, assuming the mail without 'Date' header shouldn't be
spam.
