If you're using Outlook with an Microsoft 365 account, we recommend you use Cached Exchange Mode.īy default, Outlook configures Exchange and Microsoft 365 accounts to only synchronize 12 months of your email.Ĭhanging the amount of data to synchronize can affect the time it takes Outlook to open as well as the amount of storage space Outlook uses on your computer. You can change this setting at any time.Ĭached Exchange Mode, which downloads a copy of your messages, must be turned on. Items older than 3 months reside only in your mailbox on the server.

Note: If you're using Outlook 2016, you can also select an amount of time as short as 3 days.įor example, if you move the slider to 3 months, only mail from the past three months will be synchronized to your Offline Outlook Data (.ost) file from the Exchange server. Under Offline Settings, move the slider to the desired amount of time, such as All, 12 months, 6 months, 3 months, or 1 month. Select an Exchange or Microsoft 365 account, and then click Change. Change how much mail to keep offlineĬlick File > Account Settings > Account Settings. Working Offline on the status bar also goes away when you’re working online. The button text doesn’t change, but it’s only highlighted when you’re working offline. When you’re ready to work online again, click Send / Receive > Work Offline. You know you’re working offline when Work Offline is highlighted on the ribbon or Working Offline appears on the status bar at the bottom of the Outlook window. When Outlook switches between working online and offline, all email accounts are changed. Unticking the option doesn't make any difference though.Switch between working offline and working online From reading the help it seems that if this option is enabled, any setting in the users previous outlook profile would overwrite the onesĭefined in the OCT for their new profile.

I've tied both enabling and disabling the 'migrate user settings' checkbox in the OCT but neither makes a difference. profile too) but doesn't enable cached mode.

However when a user who has an existing profile (2007) logs on to the 2010 machine it migrates their profile (creates a 'BACKUP of profilename'.

So when a user logs onto a 2010 machine who doesn't have an exisitng Outlook profile in their roaming windows profile, cached mode is enabled and works as expected. Inside the OCT it is set to enable cached exchange mode for new and existing profiles. Ideally a reg key policy preference set to run only once would be best. If the user decides to change this setting then theirĬhoice shall not be overwritten by policy of script at second logon. However what we'd like to do is enable a setting in the gpo (either a reg key preference, logon script etc.) to ensure that cached exchange mode is enabled the first time a user logs onto a 2010 machine. We're doing this becuase we don't want 2010 to create a new profile and then lose all of the user's customisations and shared calendar links etc.

The OCT that has been created for Office 2010 is set to use theĮxisting Outlook profile and upgrade it to 2010. However, whilst we want to enable cached exchange mode be default, we can't set it in a GPO as we still need to allow certian users to disable this manually (such as those users who hot-desk). We will be deploying Office 2010 to machines in stages and wish to enable cached exchange mode for all users who then use Outlook 2010. Let me outline the process I'm running through.Ĭurrently the majority of users use Outlook 2007 and cached exchange mode is disabled. I'm trying to configure Outlook Cached Exchange mode for all users who will get Office 2010 installed.
