I posted about this a couple of months ago, and smugly thought I'd found
a solution to the problem of Mail trying to synchronise with several GBs
of Public Folders on an Exchange server.
I did find a way of stopping the stuff actually getting downloaded (just
lock the relevant folders on the local mac), but now I'm on a metered
broadband connection I've realised that the attempts to sync still chew
up colossal amounts of bandwidth.
There's a hint here:

(see the comment beginning "I accomplished the same thing...").This
involves changing the IMAP path prefix - which confused me straight
away, because I thought IMAP and the Exchange protocol (MAPI?) were
different things. Anyway, it *seems*, after very limited testing so far,
to be working. So if anyone else has a similar problem...
The only reliable "fix" I have found for this is to disable public
folder synching on the Exchange server - you can do this per account or
for all IMAP connections. On the server, in the account you want to
disable it on, you need to go into Exchange Features>IMAP4 and untick
"include all public folders when a folder list is requested".
Also Mail.app doesn't use MAPI when communicating with Exchange, it uses
HTTP and IMAP.
