Using a remote server to sync/transfer data faster

In the process of upgrading my mailbox to an Exchange 2010 I’ve found a neat way to do it without affecting my local network speed.

Using a remote server that’s connected to a very fast Internet connection I’ve installed Outlook 2010 and setup both exchange accounts. All I need to do now is drag emails between both accounts and the changes will be synced up to the new box.

The advantage of doing it using the remote server is a) I don’t have to my notebook syncing at home and eating up bandwidth and b) the remote server can transfer gigabytes in seconds which means it’ll be quicker.

Obviously this could also help with remote data transfers of any kind.

Useful tip of you manage/use remote servers.
