Hi,
We have a user on Outlook 2007 with a PST file who uses a 3G modem and VPN
connection when out on the road.

On the LAN he is fine, hooks up to Exchange, downloads his mail to the PST
(which I hate, but oh well..) and its all good.

Put this same guy on the road with a 3G modem, establish a VPN connection
where DNS and etc.. all work properly, open Outlook and it takes an eternity
before he can even view his local PST emails, and then send/receive is hit
and miss (if it works its abysmally slow else it just wont work).

Does anyone know why this would be so slow even with a PST file?

I know of Outlook Anywhere, but will that work if he has a PST?

Thanks muchly!

Outlook anywhere uses and OST - which is better than a pst. What protocol
are you using to connect to exchange? Classic exchange over VPN can be slow.
