macosxhints.com - Delete caches and save disk space

This Caches folder holds lots of stuff that you really don’t need. It’s good, if you need to save space, or if you are planning a backup and want it to go faster, to check from time to time, sorting by size, to see which folders take up the most.

Macworld: Secrets: Keeping your Macs in sync
Neither Tiger’s built-in sync feature nor MySync provides a way to synchronize e-mail messages. If you store all your e-mail on a server (using an IMAP, .Mac, or Exchange account), your mail already automatically stays in sync on your various machines. But what if you use POP e-mail and store your messages in mailboxes stored on your Macs?
You can still sync your e-mail messages under those circumstances, but it takes some doing. And, because it’s a one-way sync that copies all the messages in your chosen mailboxes on one computer to another—and overwrites those mailboxes on the target computer—it can be risky. So proceed carefully.

I am not writing this as a HOWTO for doing this yourself, I am just documenting my work.
