For mail on this alternative OS I'm using Thunderbird. If I send a mail on one OS, then boot into the other and get one back, then Reply from the current OS you can see how I lose my conversation trail. I also don't have access to my calendar, notes, Journal etc..

Has anyone any experience with this? I could try a series of Hacks from around the net but I'd prefer an all round solution.

from the above, I assume you are using POP3 for the email. Try using IMAP instead?

Also, you can use IMAP to store calendar details.
