Yes. It takes a few steps but its worth it once you get it setup.
There are detailed instructions at PCMag.com, follow the link below:

NOTE: These instructions are for syncing an iPhone 3G to Outlook and Vista. If you have different systems then you will most likely still be able to find a solution with a simple search on the PCMag website.
EMAIL SYNC TIP: If you regularly read email on several devices (desktop computer, iphone, laptop, etc), you may benefit from being able to read emails on one device without pulling them from the server. This allows you to access & download the same emails on several devices without the need to physically sync your devices. Even better, it's incredibly simple to do! Here's how to do it:
- Open Outlook on your computer.
- Click "Tools"
- Click "Accounts"
- Click to highlight the account you'd like to modify.
- Click "Properties"
- Click "Advanced"
- Under "Delivery" make sure there is a check in the box next to "Leave a copy of messages on server"
You now have to options to choose from. I recommend using the first one "Remove from server after ____ days"
Just check the box to enable this option. I have mine set to remove the emails after 10 days. I will generally open outlook on each of my devices at least once during a 10 day period. (As you know, once you open Outlook, it downloads the emails to your computer.) I never miss an email!
Good Luck!
I have the same problem with the 1st gen iphone and have been closing my Outlook when I am not at the computer. Annoying. Apple and Cox (ISP) have offered no solutions.
