I need to set up a user to access his email from his laptop when he is not in the office. I dont want Outlook to download all his mail each time. How can I accomplish this ?

I don't know a way of checking e-mail using Outlook without downloading the e-mail, but you can configure Outlook to leave a copy of the e-mail on the server. The user is then still able to view and download the same e-mails when he is at the office. Just edit the properties of the Outlook account on the user's laptop and the option is under the Advanced tab.

If you have an internet connection you could install outlook web access.
If you have terminal server and are using ras you could configure the user to access e-mail through a terminal server session.

The outlook web access is the easiest for most users.
