What is the difference between Cached Exchange Mode and Offline Fo
In migrating from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 I lost my junk mail list
capabilities. We are still running Exchange 5.5, so to rebuild my junkmail list I have to run Outlook in Cached Exchange Mode. I have a laptop and already use Offline Foldeders (.ost file). So, I would like to know what the difference is between Cached Exchange Mode and Offline Folders and if I run in Cached Exchange Mode can I turn off Offline foldes. If they perform the same function why do they both exist? |

You can think of Cached Exchange mode as an improved version of the old
style offline folders. The new version allows the user to switch between offline and online use without restarting Outlook (think about unplugging to take your notebook to a meeting) and has a more efficient background process for maintaining synchronization between the local cache and the user's mailbox. What the new version doesn't give you that the old version had is the ability to designate specific folders in the mailbox (and optionally, in Public Folders) for offline synchronization. I would recommend Cached Exchange mode highly to anyone using the old style offline folders. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "DR-Jay" wrote in message ...
