Syncronizing two IMAP servers

I spend time in two places, in different countries. I have a local network in each place, with IMAP servers on each network. I collect email by fetchmail from various servers, and read email on my laptop with KMail.

I tried using just one IMAP server, but this proved impractical. So I have two collections of the same sub-folders, on the two servers.

I have two questions:

1. Is there a simpler way of organizing my email?
2. Given the current method, is there a way of syncronizing folders on the two servers?
