I now have a Mac Studio as “office” machine and I will keep my intel MacBook for the trips. Problem: How can I synchronize my account on
the two machines?
I have an iCloud account but it ignores the user/Library where I have
a data I always need, like the emails from different pop accounts.

Did you use the Apple migration tool?
This is a double edged sword as it will do the job, but it won't keep
things sync'd between the two machines afterward.

Your iCloud account will synchronize within its limits.
But Mail is different as you can have many e-mail accounts that iCloud
is not aware of.
As JR points out, IMAP will take care of mail sync.
POP and 1995 say "Hi!"
iCloud will take care of files that are in iCloud.
For most travel needs, my 5GB "free" allocation from Apple is more than
ample for both personal and business files that I may need to access
while traveling. YMMV - you can "rent" more space from Apple at sort of reasonable prices.

Two ideas:

– Use TimeMachine of the Studio to bring the MB uptodate

Are you serious?
Where is the problem?

Yes, it's a one way ticket.

That is my main problem. There are also a few applications that need
their folders in a specific place that is not in iClouds territory. I
can always do that by hand or via AppleScript.

Yes, but all my accounts are not “imapable”.

I had a free unlimited Google Drive account that went down to 50 Go so I changed to iCloud 2To and I have room.

The solution is IMHO obvious. POP is outdated and not suitable for users
with multi-device workflows.
The sync of the data is unnecessary. Keep data you need on both or more machines in the iCloud Drive.

That, I now know.
But I have 8 mail accounts and I store/classify the mails outside of
the imap folders since a subject can appear on different accounts.
So, even with imap I have mails that need to be synched.

I have some apps that force you to leave their folder in a specific
place that is not iCloud's zone.

That is what I'm thinking of, with 20Go imap space.

I already asked the different devs and the answer is almost the same:
are app is crossplatform and this is the easiest way.
An “account” is a tricky concept these days. If you’re comfortable in Terminal, rsync is the common command to keep data on a number of Macs
in agreement.
If it’s app-data rather than data-data, you may run into
issues if both Macs don’t run the same version.

Short version - most are?
The problem is all are not.
You can also setup Mail on the new Studio to automatically forward
e-mails to an IMAPed account. This is messy-ish, but you won't miss things. >>
IIRC - even with POP accounts, the e-mails will stay on the server for
some time (say 30 days), so you can still pop them onto the other Mac -
if that is really important to you.
What about the mails received and saved on the disk ? I have almost no
mail in the pop or imap account folders. I have about thirty rules to organize incoming mail.
Two ideas:
– Use CCC to synchronize user/…
– Use TimeMachine of the Studio to bring the MB uptodate
and the TM of the MB on the Studio when back home.
Are they OK? Any other/better idea?
First maybe - with attendant mess.
Second - ugh with yech sauce.
Do you really need those POP accounts? Migrate away from the old.
That also means migrating everything to one account so classification is
done on the imap server and not on my hard drive.
Also, if your MacBook is now a "travel" machine, is it really (like
_really_) essential that it have the e-mail from these POP accounts up
to date?
Last time “travel” was two months so everything has to be uptodate on
the MacBook, and put back on the Studio when home.
