1)
Cached Mode -
Assumption #1 - Full Item Sync - Message and attachment downloaded to OST.
(exist on client workstation + server)
Assumption #2 - Header Only Sync - Just enough to fill in display info
(think IMAP showing headers only and a couple of lines of message body).
Must select download in order to see full item + attachment. So depending
on state of message, could be both or server only.
Traditional (Online) Mode - Display the message is a round trip to server to
display body in reading pane. Open the attachment, round trip the server.
Items on server, nothing on desktop.
2) Keep in mind you said "attachment handled"
Cached mode - Attachment was downloaded to client (see above). If user just
removes the attachment from a message, then the item would be rsync'd. If
user deleted entire item, then it is a move operation within Exchange.
Traditional - Attachment removed from item, then a pointer is removed from
message. If user deleted entire item, it is a move operation within
Exchange.
