Adding an additional mailbox so it comes up in online mode

[Foolishfury]

Hi all,

We are using outlook 2010 by default in cached mode. What we would like is when we attach to an additional mailbox, the mailbox be opened in "online mode" so a new OST is not downloaded.. Is there any way to do this?

It currently works this way within our outlook 2003 environment...

Hi Foolish!

Unless I am mistaken, this really cant be done. Outlook Cache mode settings are those of the client so adding mailboxes to the client will just respect the initial setting.

The only real option that I can see for this, would be to have seperate profiles, so you could launch outlook and select the mailbox you need, and then have it cached or online as you need.

Cheers,

Ivanmor

Hi,

Please take a look at the following article to see if it helps (note: it also applies to Outlook 2010):
