Key Points

• Working away from your network or without an Internet connection doesn't mean that you can't use Outlook. If your organization uses Exchange, you have many options for accessing your e-mail messages and other information you manage within Outlook.

• Cached Exchange Mode keeps a copy of your mailbox on your computer so you can keep working even when you are away from your network.

• Cached Exchange Mode handles connecting and synchronizing your local mailbox for you. You can set it to cache all messages or just headers, to save bandwidth.

• When you will be away from your computer for a while, Outlook can send an auto-reply message once to each person from whom you receive a message. This is a convenient way of letting people know when to expect a response from you.
