Thanks for the reply.
>>> What exactly is it you're hoping they will have/see on their handhelds?
I guess I am thinking that they will mainly want to have/see just new
emails.
I think I have a rough idea of how it might work now for occasional users.
When they do need access to emails via their phone/handheld they switch on
ActiveSync. At most this will download the last 3 days of emails and we can
exclude attachments so it is not going to be a great deal of data. If they
want an older email Microsoft say "However, you can now search for messages
older than three days or those in other folders. When a message is found, it
will be downloaded to your device.".

Any reason they can't leave the device on & syncing all the time? At any
rate, it should work manually too.

They could, but I was thinking that if they are only out of the office once
every 3 or 4 weeks it might be an unnecessary expense for downloading the
data.

Re: Active Sync. Limiting data downloads for users infrequently out of office
They can set ActiveSync to download manually and leave it turned "ON" all
the time. Then when they are out of the office, they can just do a manual
send/receive whenever they need.
