I'm trying to understand how offline folders work
in Outlook 2003 with an Exchange account.
Can anyone confirm, deny, or correct my findings?

I "think" this is the way it works:
- Cached Exchange Mode is a layer built on top of
offline files, designed to make them easier to use and manage
- if you turn off Cached Exchange Mode, you still have
offline files enabled, but only sync with Send/Receive
- if you have a synced ost and disconnect from the net:
- and have offline files enabled, you can read new
messages that were already in your Inbox at last
sync, regardless of the Cached Exchange Mode setting
- but if you turn off Cached Exchange Mode AND
you disable offline files, you cannot read messages in
your Inbox (for example)
Question:
1. Without offline files, can you even "see" your Inbox?
2. Is there any reason ever to enable offline files but
disable Cached Exchange Mode?

Thanks,
Sandy
