We have a few users we need to set up for cached exchange mode. We went into
Control panel | mail | show profiles | select the profile and then select
properties. Email Accounts | View or Change Existing Email Accounts |
selected Microsoft Exchange Server and select Change. Turned on check for
cached exchange mode. Now one question we have that is not very clear in the
book or online is if the select MORE SETTINGS, there is also a check box on
the Advanced tab, Cached exchange mode settings, and used cached exchange
mode. Do we select this? Say we have several accounts above in the list of
additional mailboxes, does this mean Outlook would cache all of those
automatically also, or is this just turned on cached exchange mode in general.

Is there anything else we need to worry about. We are NOT utilizing pst
files. And if someone has a Dell Axim that also syncs to their workstation,
how does cached exchange mode affect the Dell Axim users (the Dell's are set
up to sync locally instead of to the exchange server--will be need to change
this mode)?

You don't need to check it in both places, but it doesn't hurt to do so.

Only if you're using Outlook 2007, which is the first version to cache shared mailbox folders.

The data is still in Outlook locally for the Axim to sync with. i
