What is cached mode:Cached Exchange Mode allows you to work with your Exchange account data when your connection to the Exchange server is interrupted or unavailable. Cached Exchange Mode stores a copy of your mailbox on your computer by automatically creating and using an offline folder file (a .ost file) into which it downloads and maintains a synchronized copy of the items in all the folders of your mailbox.
We do NOT recommend "Cached Exchange Mode" with GeniusConnect version prior 5.0.0.7 release.Please see this topic for GeniusConnect 5.0.0.7 and higher:
http://support.geniusconnect.com/Posts/t555- Synchronizing while using Cached Exchange Mode is not recommended. When you synchronize , full items will be downloaded in Outlook, and the synchronization process used is less efficient than with regular Outlook synchronization to users' computers. Also when sync between Outlook-Exchange fails, Outlook can delete all items previously inserted by GeniusConnect.

Another way in which the benefits of using Cached Exchange Mode can be reduced is by installing certain Outlook add-ins. Some add-ins can bypass the expected functionality of Headers Mode (Download Headers Only) in Cached Exchange Mode by accessing Outlook data by using the object model. For example, if you use Microsoft ActiveSync® technology to synchronize a hand-held computer, full Outlook items will be downloaded, not just headers, even over a slow connection. In addition, the update process will be slower than if you downloaded the items in Outlook because one-off applications use a less efficient type of synchronization.http://office.microsoft....ance/HA011402591033.aspx Solution:Install Outlook and GeniusConnect on a dedicated PC (inside your LAN so no cached mode is needed).
