If you have Outlook 2003, the new "cached mode" for Exchange servers
works very well and eliminates this problem. All read/write activity is
done on a local, fully-synced copy of the Exchange mailbox, and changes
are propagated back to the Exchange server as bandwidth allows. 

It's enormously better than the old "offline folders" sync mode in
earlier versions of Outlook.

We even use cached mode on our LAN, and it has reduced the load on our
Exchange server by 60%, since so much more processing and I/O happen on
the desktop machines instead of the server.
