E-Mail Client Suggestions

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

A client has a SBS 2K3 server running Exchange 2003 SP2. He has a
laptop and it has joined the domain.

He's been floundering around trying to find a way to duplicate his LAN
experience with Outlook 2003 from afar (Home). He has a Cingular WWAN
card so the EDGE network is available to him and his throughput is
nearly half that of a basic aDSL connection.

He's acquainted with OWA but isn't really impressed by it as there are
some Outlook functions it doesn't seem to support.

He's now trying to get RCP over HTTP running but isn't sure what he's
going to get in the "look-and-feel" department if and when he gets it
working.

He's also become aware of IMAP access to his server but again, hasn't
gotten that working yet either.

He'd prefer to avoid using VPN connections to log into the domain from
home.

Does anyone have a suggestion for which of these alternatives (or any
other) provide the closest match to his actual domain connection via
his office LAN? From a "look-and-feel" and "function" point of view?

I'm really at a loss for how to guide him as I've never experimented
with RPC or IMAP for Exchange. I don't know of any place where there
is a side-by-side comparision of facilities in an Outlook 2K3 context.

All suggestions gratefully received.
