Configuring Advanced Properties

You use the Advanced tab in the Microsoft Exchange dialog box, shown in Figure 41-4, to configure additional mailboxes to open as well as security and offline processing settings. Why use additional mailboxes? You might own two mailboxes on the server and need access to both of them. For example, if you are the system administrator, you probably need to manage your own account as well as the Administrator account. Or perhaps you’ve been delegated as an assistant for a set of mailboxes and need to access them to manage someone’s schedule. The Advanced tab is where you add mailboxes that you own or for which you’ve been granted delegate access.

Use the Advanced tab to configure additional, Cached Exchange Mode, and offline file settings.

Figure 41-4. Use the Advanced tab to configure additional, Cached Exchange Mode, and offline file settings.

The options on the Advanced tab are:

  • Open These Additional Mailboxes. Define the set of mailboxes you want Outlook 2007 to open. These can be mailboxes that you own or for which you’ve been granted delegate access.

  • Use Cached Exchange Mode. Have Outlook 2007 create and work from a locally cached copy of your mailbox. This setting corresponds to the Use Cached Exchange Mode setting on the Exchange Server Settings page of the E-Mail Accounts Wizard.

  • Download Shared Folders. Select this option if you want Outlook 2007 to download the contents of shared folders, such as other users’ Inbox or Calendar folders made available to you through delegate permissions or Microsoft Office SharePoint® folders.

  • Download Public Folder Favorites. Select this check box if you want Outlook 2007 to cache the public folders you have added to the Favorites folder in the Public Folders branch. Before selecting this check box, consider how much replication traffic you will experience if the folders in your Favorites folder contain a large number of posts and are very active.

  • Offline Folder File SettingsSet up an .ost file to use as your data cache while working offline. You need to use an .ost file only if the account is configured to store your data in your Exchange Server mailbox. If your primary data file is a personal folders (.pst) file, or if you don’t work offline, you don’t need an .ost file.
