Data Roaming - part shut down?

[mrtubs]

Is it possible to close most, but not all data roaming products when abroad.

I know the easiest way would be to turn data roaming off, but there are a couple of things I would like to use my data for when abroad.

At home I use exchange for emails (which uses a lot of data) and I know that apps etc must use data as they know when an update is available.

At home I use approx 250MB of data a month, so a fortnights holiday would cost a fortune at that rate.

Can I turn off exchange and stop anything updating?

All I want to do is check a few emails (I can use a google account and get only the important ones to forward to this account) and access a couple of websites per day.

Any suggestions?

Turn off all push notifications and data roaming then just turn roaming on when you need to check emails?

I would sugest the same method.
