I believe there is a registry hack for this. There was a KB article describing how to make Outlook check for new mail more often, even when Outlook is running online. Yes, online. This is a special case when Outlook is running behind a firewall that blocks inbound UDP frames (or behind NAT) and prevents Exchange server from sending a "new mail notification" UDP frame to Outlook (without receiving this frame, Outlook does not know that it is supposed to refresh its view). The same registry hack may just work in your case. Search MS KB for Outlook + UDP + new mail notification.

In cached mode the user always directly reads from the local store, which is updated as needed when a network connection is connected. If the design goal was to read from the server in all network situations and go offline when the network was unavailable, they wouldn't have changed that mode of operation from previous versions of Exchange/Outlook... > -----Original Message----- > From: Bendall, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, December 22, 2003 10:07 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Slightly OT: Outlook 2003 in cached mode > > > Well from my basic understanding of the cached mode mechanism > I thought that > when it detected that it was connected through to the server > on a fast LAN > link then it would act like a non-cached client.
