I suggest you look at IMAP then.

I wish!

Thus you can arrange for all mail to go into and be stored in a set of
folders on one machine - I'd expect the Linux one - and be accessible
therefrom by as many clients as you care to use on as many machines as
you like.

It is my dream to have a server set up with 
something like this, but alas, no spare machine
at the moment.  Well actually there are loads
of machines in this house, but only one is mine.
I dual boot.

An alternative is to choose a client to run on Linux, and then remote
its display to whatever machine you are using as a terminal, using eg
VNC.

Interesting idea, but really I only ever use the
machine in my bedroom,  so there is little
point.

I've been looking at both for work.  Currently I use Evolution, having I
think run up against a limit to the number of filters one can support in
Kmail, or something curious in a particular installation.

You must be using a lot of filters. Kmail is
perfectly adequate for my needs in the filter
department...
