Problem with client configuration

We use exchange for intranet email only, mostly so users can access a shared
schedule. External email gets routed through a server outside of our domain.
There is a user who travels, so he has decided he doesn't want to be a part
of the internal system anymore - all emails to him are to go through the
external account.

Outlook was previously configured for him to receive internal email
(external email was accessed via web mail). Now he wants to access the
Exchange emails already sent to him (cached mode was enabled and there is an
..ost file), but not have anything new routed there.

Is it possible to configure Outlook/Exchange so all they do are allow him to
view already existing emails? Does his Exchange account need to be enabled in
order for this to happen?

Thanks very much for any help.

Why not have him use OWA to access his exchange mailbox externally? You
could also setup VPN with Outlook. I personally would recommend hosting
your own SMTP using Exchange Server and then enable RPC over HTTPs.

I'd love to, but his exchange mailbox is going to be phased out, and VPN
isn't an option with this organization.

I know it isn't the optimum set up, but I'm stuck with administering it, and
am looking for a quick fix.

I would then just export his mailbox contents to PST file then let him
choose what emails he wants to keep.
