I read an article about dovecot 2.2, which includes the LEMONADE extensions, and was fascinated about the feature "Forward without download". We have a small internet-uplink in our office and our CEO loves to receive mails with large attachments, he also reply/forward it, so every time the full attachments get downloaded and uploaded again. Now the question is: Is LEMONADE supported by desktop-mailclients like thunderbird or just mobile Clients? (Google said nothing to this, maybe searched the wrong words)
It depends on whether you are using POP or IMAP.
If he/you all are using POP, then this won't help you.
But if you are accessing your email via IMAP, then it will depend on the client. I honestly don't know what, if any, clients support it and/or to what extent, but I don't think Thunderbird supports it...
One thing that Timo has talked about is the possibility of something like a submission service, so that at least, when sending messages, assuming that you 'save a copy of all sent mail to the Sent folder', it doesn't have to upload it twice (once for sending, then again for copying to the Sent folder), but I have no idea if that feature could also be leveraged to provide the functionality you are wanting WITHOUT client-side support.
