A softlink should work fine if you are using Linux.  Don't know what
windows can do.  In Linux, your home folder has a sub-folder called
Mail.  In my case I moved that to a different location (/common/Mail/)
and created a softlink from that back to the home folder.

ln -s /common/Mail/ /home/tom/Mail

That way I am able to have all mail in one location which can be shared
with several Linux distros.
