Issues You May Face While Working in Cached Exchange Mode

Cached Mode is beneficial when you want to work offline. But while working in the cached mode, multiple issues can occur with Outlook.

Here are some examples:

  • Some of the messages may be stored only in the OST file and will not be available in the Exchange mailbox.
  • Some important information like calendar items will point to the local files rather than the Server files; so it is difficult to share the calendar entries in the cached mode
  • If you enable the cached mode to an existing mailbox that already has large amount of data, that may create downloading issues.
  • The response time for the identification of the corruption issue in the mailbox may take more time.
  • If the OST file that has been created after enabling the Exchange Mode becomes corrupt, then all its data will be lost before connecting with the Exchange Server. Also, if the OST file gets disassociated with the account, then all information saved in it will be lost.
