If you are working from home say, is there anything I should be careful of if I switch the client from "normal" to cached mode or back again ?

Just wondering if there's anything that could be set on the server to prevent it working in cached mode etc?

cheers

 

If you switch it to cached mode, it will create an offline pst esentially on your local machine

If you have RPC over HTTPS and doing this over the tinternet and have a large mailbox then you could be waiting for some time

Been working on a 7 exchange server site today, and the majority of the mailboxes are over 1Gb

 

Cheers, yes I know how it works with the bandwidth and protocols - just don't have enough knowledge to know if server admins can stop me switching somebody to cached mode. He needs it locally as it's sucky slow at the moment.

p.s. we have 14gb mailboxes in Italy

Some bright spark suggested we limit to 250MB, we pointed out all our PC's have 2GB ram so we may as well just store our email in memory

 

I cant remember off the top of my head if you can actually disable cached mode on the server side, I think it is more a client option like the old offline storage just renamed and rebranded (I know it works in a different way too )

LOL mine is currently just over 4 Gb, but a lot of that is now archived off as its no longer needed, but there for reference/legal etc etc

 

Just checked you can disable cahced mode via a group policy, but that means you have to be a member of the domain for the group policy to be applied
