Outlook 2013 New Feature

I’ve started upgrading a few people from Outlook 2007/2010 to 2013 and have come across a new feature that’s really going to help out some of my users.

Some of my users have mammoth mailboxes, one in particular is at 20GB. Outlook in cached mode routinely slows up and the only explanation that we can reach is that Outlook must be doing some routine maintenance on the OST. It became so unusable that we turned off cached mode for that user. The answer is to obviously delete and archive email but some users are stubborn.

We did switch off Outlook caching, but now we find that when the user is going in and out of folders etc that Outlook will hang for a few seconds, its quite frustrating.


Anyway onto Outlook 2013, under account settings there is a now a slider titled “Mail to keep offline” it ranges from 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and all.
