I use the RPC over HTTP for an Exchange account (not POP) and it works
great. Best thing: if/when you lose a data file, etc., you can recreate it
just by recreating the profile since the data is stored on the server.
If you use My Documents Redirection for the company, then don't also use
offline files synchronization -- it'll mess things up big time.
If you don't use redirection at all, then the My Documents folder will be on
the user's laptop all the time anyway. If you don't fix things some other
way, this might be the right way to go with the short fuse for these things
that many CEO's have...
Take a quick look at this help articles, also:

As far as the VPN not working, do you have a hardware firewall out front of
the server? I'm not sure what port the VPN uses. You should re-run the
CEICW and Remote Access configuration from the To-Do list to make sure
you've enabled both. Make sure the user is set as a Remote Web user.
Is port 4125 open to TCP (for RWW)? If your user is accessing the web
remotely from his company laptop, then OWA isn't the right way to go -- RPC
over HTTP is.
Hope this brain dump helps.
