Since you are networked you can use "Add mailbox to list" and point at the mailbox directory on the desktop.  This now is an added mailbox on the laptop. You can then create folders on the desktop and move the mail into these folders.  You cannot move folders between mailboxes, it looks like it works but it does not.

I have a similar requirement, which has a simple solution -- I created identical installations of Pegasus on my two computers (same directories and folder names) and run a (free) synchronization program called AllwaySync which keeps these two copies of Pegasus identical whenever I need to switch between one system and the other.  

I use AllwaySync to keep all my data available and current when I travel with the laptop and then return home; not just with Pegasus..

Look at www.allwaysync.com/   The program is free for non-commercial use.

I work regularly on overseas projects. When abroad I use Pegasus on a
laptop and consequently I have my e-mails, both incoming and outgoing, in
Pegasus folders on the laptop.

When I get back to the UK and to my desktop I ideally need to transfer
those e-mail files from the laptop on to Pegasus on the desktop - ie
consolidating files within the appropriate folders, rather than having to
refer to them on the two different machines.

How can I import these e-mails from folders on the laptop to the same
named, or different, folders on the desktop? I do, of course, have a
network between the two machines when at my home desk.

Thomas, have now transferred and therefore consolidated all the messages hitherto languishing on the laptop. Many thanks for your professional help. Michael
