There are two main benefits of using the Cached Exchange Mode feature in Outlook and they are as follows -
" Using the Cached Exchange Mode can truly save users from connection issues that keep cropping up from time to time in both networks as well as servers.
" By having a local copy of the mails, a user can continue working on the mails without any interruptions and go online only when required.
In other words by having a local copy of the mailbox stored on the Exchange server and by making the Outlook Address Book (OAB) also available locally, Outlook does not have to depend on a continuous connection to the network or to the server to enable users to access any Outlook information. There is a need for additional vigilance since any damage to the local copies of the mails might not be recovered through an exchange recovery alone.
Using the Cached Exchange Mode allows the user to keep both the mailbox on the Exchange server as well as the local copies of the mails updated at all times. For example, even if a user removes a laptop from a particular docking station and thereby disconnects from the network, the latest information from the mailbox on the server is immediately available to the user as an offline copy. There is no doubt that this kind of facility greatly increases the efficiency with which users can work with their Outlook data.
Cached Exchange Mode also improves the efficiency of the connection established with the Exchange server. For example, a particular setting in Outlook allows the Cached Exchange Mode to download only the headers in case the connection is slow. Thus, depending on the speed of the connection, Outlook will automatically decide the type of data and how much data is to be sent over the connection. If there is any interruption in the connection and the mails are damaged when they reach the local computer, an entire exchange recovery is not required. Simply downloading the mails again from the mailbox will be sufficient to update the local copies.
The best part of this feature in Outlook is that a user can work in different environments with different connections and not feel any difference. For example, even if a user is working in a high-speed corporate environment and disconnects from the network, he or she can continue working on the offline copies. If the person later reconnects from home via a slower dial-up connection, Outlook automatically recognized the connection and optimizes for that connection, without the user having to change any settings or restart Outlook.
Of course, the main area of concern is protecting the local copies of the Exchange mailbox stored on the local computer. However, with the availability of sophisticated exchange recovery tools such as Advanced exchange recovery from DataNumen, there is greater confidence that the data in local copies will not be affected. These tools have tremendous scanning and restoration powers that ensure recovery of data from even the most damaged local files.
