It would if you only ever synced your laptop to your desktop.

The problem is that you are sometimes syncing the laptop to the server.
You are effectively introducing two different sets of UIDs into the
system, and looping back and forth with them.  I suspect you saw lots of
duplicated mails 

You might also find it useful to establish a ssh session to the desktop,
if that's secure.  But if you're on a secure link to the desktop, and
it's on a secure link to the server, shouldn't your laptop already have
a secure link to the server?
