This is a no-win situation if they work online and is a prime reason for
having local mail servers. If the latency is affecting business and a local
mail server is out of the question, you have three options assuming you're
using Outlook as the client:
1. Limit the size of mail attachments and force them to use file shares
instead.
2. Use OWA instead so they don't have to scroll through every email with an
attachment..
2. Switch them to offline mode with automatic Send/Receives every five or
ten minutes. This will download the attachment and store it in the OST file
for them to access. Just be aware of the 2GB limit on OST file sizes.
