Numpty Exchange/Outlook Question

[puggit]

If I enable Cached Exchange Mode in Outlook 2003, does this mean that everything in my inbox is replicated to my Exchange server?

Including copies of emails I have downloaded in to my Outlook from Exchange, and those I've sent?

Thanks!

As I understand it your description is pretty much the reason that we are putting in 2003, so my guess is the answer is Yes, although I'm not directly involved with that project so I wouldn't stake my life on it.

Close but the other way around. Emails are normally stored on the Exchange Server but with cached mode there is also a copy stored locally on you machine. Means that if the connection with the server is lost you can still view your emails.

For me, the primary benefit of Exchange is Outlook Web Access - we can access not just e-mails, but notes, calendar, contacts, etc. from anywhere in the world - just like 'proper' Outlook.
