One way to do this would be to switch to Exchange, IMAP, and Hotmail
accounts. With those types of accounts, mail is stored on a central server
that can be accessed from any number of machines. If you decided to get a
central server, an expensive option, you'd want it to be an IMAP server.
Much more practical would be to set up IMAP accounts with existing
providers.
With a POP account, this becomes a bit more difficult. You could set both
the Windows and Macintosh machines to leave a copy of each message on the
server (you would do this in Entourage in Tools -> Accounts, under the
"Options" tab for your account). Then, each message would be received on
both machines.
