I do have a basic question... How many users will be in this new, remote location? Will the traffic be so vast, that 1GbE link will not be enough, or are you using two servers for reliability?
The simpler the configuration, it is almost always the better. Maybe you can stay with one server in yours primary location?
This was exactly my thought as reading it.
If you have some control over client configuration, use "offline IMAP," where clients maintain a local copy of what's on the server. (That's a good idea anyway, distributed backups of mail which possibly is important.)
