The tech is wrong. Now if the 50mb consists of 2kb text messages in
the Inbox folder, and you're connecting via IMAP, then yes, it's gonna
poop on you. But you could still use OWA, POP3, or Outlook over VPN (or
not, but let's not have those big cargo ships steering into each other)
and performance will rock. Prove it to him with a laptop and a 28.8
modem. On the server side, the only thing that will suffer is it will
take (obviously) longer to do your nightly maintenance and backups. Or
if you want to search the store for a message. (but it'll be a heckuva
lot faster than searching a store AND a PST)
