Thanks for the help. Sadly Shaw is stuck in Pop format which is very
frustrating.

I didn't think I could sync the accounts but I thought I would ask. I
think I can sync GMail though

===

If you can sync through gmail, why not have your Shaw POP mail forward
directly to the IMAP account that you can sync? unless Shaw does not
give you that option.
I'm with Bell in Ontario, and I forward all my sympatico mail, which is
set up for POP, to another web based account. Once forwarded to an IMAP
address, all your devices will show the current synced status of your
mail until refreshed, meaning mail that is new or deleted will only show
up on any of your devices when you refresh or resync them. Your refresh
cycle may be every 5 minutes or longer, depending on your settings.

Have you also considered Computrace's Lojack for Laptops software?

At least it sounds better than nothing at all; and in the US, can you
not purchase additional riders on your home insurance for students'
property that is not at the home but at the college residence or where
he's living during the school year? Or can he take out a personal
insurance policy under his own name with his school address? Just a
thought.... but is it worth it dollarwise vs cost of machine?

I have a 2008 iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo still running the original OS 10.5.8

I am wondering of it is worth upgrading the OS or is the hardware not up to the task.

Thanks.

I have the same as you with OS 10.8.2 and update when an update is available.
