Migo doesn't solve issues with remote connectivity to Exchange if you're outside the organization. If you can't communicate with Exchange via Outlook remotely now, Migo cannot give you this functionality, unless the machine you use as your remote desktop via Migo uses a VPN connection to provide access. POP3 and IMAP, however, can be used if your organization allows remote access over the public network, but this limits the use of calendaring, as integration with Exchange is necessary for such functionality within Outlook. If, however, you're looking only for the basics--e-mail, contacts and files--Migo is just the thing to obviate carrying a laptop from office to office, and it's well worth the price.
