The problem isn't with Active Sync as far as I can see.

AFAIK, Active Sync does not actually open Outlook to Sync Inbox(es), just pulls from the file store. Outlook has to actually POP in and download your email to the file-store before AS can sync it.

But I may be wrong. Since I always have Outlook open (or recently opened/closed) before I sync, I have never chanced to look.

Anyway, unless you use secure/multiple-user logins, if you put a shortcut to Outlook in your Startup directory, it will open Outlook on boot, Outlook will POP, then AS can grab whatever data it wants when Outlook is done grabbing mail. You can always close Outlook when you leave.
