RE: Client transition from POP to Exch email

Nathan, two follow-up questions:
1). are you suggesting delivering new emails (now from Exchange) to the
existing PST? Would this take them off the Exchange server(mailbox)... so
that they wouldn't be accessible via OWA - if they were already "downloaded".
2). So currently, the users traveling with laptops get an internet
connection (various ways) and can just do a "Send/Receive" to get their
emails via POP3 from the ISP when they are traveling. As we switch email
delivery to the Exchange server - what do you recommend for users to continue
to use Outlook and now get their emails from the Exchange server over an
internet connection, while traveling. What's the best way to keep things
easy? I know they can use OWA - but let's set this up via Outlook client.
Thanks very much for your thoughtful repsonses. - Dodge
