2. Select Help from the right-click menu. The online help appears in a new window.
◆ If you log in to Outlook using a profile other than the default profile, then:
• Offline Access does not cache anything.
• The Offline Access Agent runs with limited functionality. The Compact, Update, and
Rebuild options are not available. Offline Access only synchronizes against the
default profile, not other profiles.
◆ If you have an existing cache that was built under the default Outlook profile, and then
you change your default profile, a prompt appears.
Editing attachments
Offline Access does not support editing attachments associated with a shortcut message.
Any changes made to an attachment of a shortcut message are lost.
You must restore the original message before editing the attachment.
The icons are listed in order of precedence from top to bottom. If a state higher in the list is
set, then the states lower in the list have no effect on the icon.
For example, if Offline Access is disabled the connection status has no effect on the icon;
only the higher status icon (Disabled) displays.
3. Click OK.
3. Click OK.
Note: The status icon in the system tool tray is still displayed after you disable Offline
Access.
Note: The Restore On Copy/Move options are available when you use Offline Access with
Outlook 2007, and are enabled by default. These options are not available when you use
Offline Access with Outlook 2010/2013.
In Outlook 2007
Sometimes shortcut items are restored even when the Restore On Copy/Restore On Move
options are disabled in Offline Access with Outlook 2007.
◆ The state of the reading pane in Outlook affects the copy/move of a shortcut item from
one folder to another in the same mailbox:
• If the reading pane is on, then the shortcut item is restored.
– When an item is selected with the reading pane on, the item is restored in the
background.
– When the selected item is copied or moved, it is already restored.
– If multiple items are selected and copied or moved, only the selected item that
is displayed in the reading pane is restored. All others remain as shortcuts.
• If the reading pane is off, then the Restore settings are used.
◆ Certain copy methods restore shortcuts even when “Restore On Copy” is disabled for
Offline Access with Outlook 2007.
When “Restore on Copy” is disabled in Offline Access, and when the Outlook preview
pane is on, the following copy methods restore shortcuts to the destination location:
• Right-click drag and copy
• Select Edit > Copy To Folder
The problem occurs on only the selected message that is being viewed in the preview
pane. All other selected messages will be copied as shortcuts. The problem occurs
because Outlook takes the resolved content associated with the preview pane and
pastes it into the destination folder.
To workaround this issue, when “Restore On Copy” is disabled in Offline Access, use
the following methods to copy the shortcut correctly to the destination location
without restoring the shortcut:
• Select Edit > Copy and then select Edit > Paste.
• Press Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V .
◆ Shortcut items are restored when they are copied to Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes,
or Journal in Outlook.
◆ When shortcut items are copied or moved to the filesystems, their content is not
restored but remains as shortcuts. However, Offline Access restores the shortcut
items if you attempt to view the shortcut on desktop when Offline Access is running.
Problem
In Outlook 2010/2013, and when "Restore on Copy/Move" options are enabled in Offline
Access with Outlook 2007, and when you copy or move in-store shortcuts to an
out-of-store destination (for example, to a PST or to a Public Folder), the following copy
methods result in shortcut stubs in the destination instead of the restored message:
◆ Select Edit > Copy To
◆ Select Edit > Move To
The shortcut stubs in the out-of-store destination cannot be restored.
Workaround
In Outlook 2010/2013, and when "Restore On Copy/Move" options are enabled in Offline
Access with Outlook 2007, the following methods result in correctly restored messages in
the out-of-store destination:
◆ Press Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V
◆ Drag and drop
Other considerations
Review the following considerations.
◆ With Outlook 2007, if you are copying or moving shortcut items to a mail store that is
not your default mailbox (such as a PST file, a Public Folder, or a delegate mailbox),
then enable the restoration of shortcut items on copy/move.
◆ With Outlook 2010/2013, if Offline Access detects that the shortcut is being moved to
the same store, for example, MyPST to MyPST, then the shortcut is not restored. If
Offline Access detects that the copy/move is to another store, for example, Mailbox to
MyPST, then the shortcut is restored.
◆ With Outlook 2007 only, do not copy or move entire folders to an external item store,
such as a PST or a Public Folder. Instead, select all items in the folder, and then copy
or move them to a folder in the external item store. This limitation does not apply to
Outlook 2010/2013.
◆ When shortcut items are copied or moved to the filesystems, their content is not
restored but remains as shortcuts. However, Offline Access restores the shortcut
items if you attempt to view the shortcut on desktop when Offline Access is running.
Considerations when moving shortcuts with attachments
If you enable the Restore On Move option, and move shortcut items with attachments to
another folder in Outlook, then the item and the archived attachments will be restored
from the local cache back into Outlook. If you move many shortcut items simultaneously,
then Outlook synchronizes all the attachments back to the Exchange mail server, which
could cause performance problems and increase the size of your mailbox.
Note: If you need to move and restore many shortcut items to different folders, disable
Offline Access first, and then move the items. After moving the items, enable Offline
Access.
Note: When the default MAPI profile that Offline Access uses has the Exchange
cache mode turned off, the Don't cache items older than list box is blank because
Offline Access cannot leverage the local Outlook cache.
• Select Outlook Offline Setting to set the SourceOne Offline Access cache period to
the same value that was set for the Outlook cache mode period.
Note: The Outlook Offline Setting option is only available on Outlook 2013.
Note: If you cache items, and then change Don't cache items older than to a smaller
value, the cache will retain items that do not meet the new criteria even after the next
synchronization. For example, assume you cached items using a Don’t cache
messages older than value of 5 years. Your cache contains items that are up to 5 years
old. Then you change the Don’t cache items older than value to 2 months. The items
that are older than 2 months will remain in the cache after the next synchronization. To
clear the cache of items that no longer meet the new criteria, rebuild the cache.
3. In the Cache maximum size (MB) field, specify the amount of disk space to allocate to
your cache.
• The range of valid values is 50 MB to 32767 MB (32 GB).
• The default is 20% of the free space on your disk. If 20% of available disk space is
less than 50MB, then the default is set to 50 MB.
Consider the following:
• The maximum cache size that you specify is a target for the synchronization
process. The cache size displayed in the Support Information dialog box (EMC
SourceOne > Support) can exceed the specified maximum cache size by several
percentage points.
• The cache may exceed the maximum size temporarily before the next
synchronization. For example, if your cache reaches the maximum size and then
you open some shortcut items, then the cache will exceed the maximum size.
• If you decrease the Cache maximum size value, the size of the cache does not
decrease after the next synchronization. You can use the Compact option after
synchronization to free up unused space in the cache.
4. Click Cache Settings. The Cache Settings dialog box appears.
c. To specify how often to update (resynchronize) your cache with your mailbox, edit
the Update frequency (minutes) field:
– Values must be in the range 20-21600.
– The default value is 1440 minutes (24 hours).
d. In the Cache items that field, perform one of the following steps to specify what to
cache:
a. To cache items that have attachments, select Have attachments.
b. To cache all items, select All items (default).
c. To not cache any items, select Don’t cache any items.
If you have an existing cache and you enable the Don’t cache any items option,
a prompt displays.
To delete the cache, click Yes. The cache is deleted the next time Outlook starts.
To keep the existing cache, click No.
e. In the Cache items that are older than (days) field, specify the age of items to
cache, in days:
– The maximum value is 999 days (2.7 years).
– The default is 30 days.
Note: The Cache items that are older than (days) value must be less than the
Don’t cache items older than value.
f. Click OK to close the Cache Settings dialog box.
5. Perform one of the following steps:
• Click Apply to save your changes and to keep the Options dialog box open for
further editing.
• Click OK to save your changes and to close the Options dialog box.
Note: The default is 2 seconds for the When retrieving items, show Cancel dialog after
_ seconds field.
Figure 13 Notifications
You must first delete the items from the Outlook folder that you want to be deleted
from the archive. Then, delete the Outlook folder.
◆ In Outlook 2010/2013, by design, the User Delete feature in Offline Access ignore
deletes performed with the “Reply and Delete” quick step.
Note: The User Delete feature does not support appointment types in Outlook 2007.
However, appointment types in Outlook 2010/2013 are supported.
Button Description
Yes Deletes the selected mail item from the archive. After you click Yes, the prompt is
updated to display the name of the next selected mail item in the list.
Yes to All Deletes all selected mail items from the archive.
No Does not delete the selected mail item from the archive. After you click No, the
prompt is updated to display the name of the next selected mail item in the list.
No to All Does not delete any of the selected mail item from the archive.
• If you click Yes or Yes to All, then delete requests are created in your mailbox.
• If you click No or the No to All, then the mail items are not deleted from the archive.
4. If you select the Perform this action without prompting for all future deletions
checkbox, the Confirm dialog box is opened.
Button Description
Yes The action selected in the Confirm Archive Delete dialog box becomes the default
behavior of the Delete action in Outlook.
The Confirm Archive Delete dialog box does not display for future deletes.
For Microsoft Outlook, user preferences are stored in the Registry and in the
Notifications dialog box.
5. If you change your mind after clicking No/No to All in the Confirm Archive Delete
prompt and want to delete the mail items from the archive that now reside in the
Deleted Items folder:
a. Move the mail items from the Deleted Items folder to another mailbox folder.
b. Alternatively, you can delete the items through SourceOne Search.
4. Click OK.
Note: To see the correct cache size after compacting the cache, you must close and
then reopen the Options dialog box.
Note: If you are using Offline Access with the Cache items that option set to Don’t
cache any items, then the Rebuild Cache and Compact Now options are not
available.
Note: If you are using Offline Access with the Cache items that option set to Don’t cache
any items, then the Rebuild Cache and Rebuild options are not available.
Configuring logging
To enable logging, you must have Write permission on the Logs directory. By default, the
user has Write permission on this location.
Administrator privileges are not needed because Offline Access logs to a directory in the
user space.
Enabling/disabling logging
After you configure the logging level, enable or disable logging perform the following
steps.
1. Press Ctrl while right-clicking the Offline Access status icon.
• A check mark next to Enable Logging indicates that logging is already enabled.
• No check mark indicates that logging is disabled.
2. Select Enable Logging to toggle logging on or off.
Note: When the logs are no longer needed, turn off logging. If you do not turn logging
off, the logs continue to grow and consume disk space.
For Windows Vista and Windows 7, the default logs directory is:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local
Log files
If logging is enabled, then several log files are created and listed below.
◆ OfflineAccessAgent.log
◆ OfflineAccessConfig.log
◆ OfflineAccessExtension.log—Created only when Offline Access is used with Outlook
2007.
◆ OfflineAccessAddIn.log—Created only when Offline Access is used with Outlook
2010/2013.
If you have read permission on the logs directory, you can view log files with any
application that displays text files.
For more information, refer to EMC SourceOne Administration Guide.
Note: If you are using Offline Access with the Cache items that option set to Don’t cache
any items, then the Update and Cancel Update options are not available.
3. To see how updating has progressed, move the mouse over the Busy icon.
4. To cancel the update:
a. Right-click the status icon in the system tool tray.
b. Select Cancel Update from the menu.
When updating completes successfully, the system tool tray displays the
Connected/Steady State icon.
Note: If you close Outlook while Offline Access is updating the cache, then the update
resumes when you restart Outlook.
Note: When using Microsoft Outlook Delegate Access, a delegated user will require access
to the delegator's signed certificate to access any encrypted and digitally signed
messages, including restoring those messages from shortcuts.
Troubleshooting
This section contains troubleshooting information for Offline Access users.
Offline Access cannot resolve the shortcut item or attachments. Consult your SourceOne
administrator.
Outlook is not running in Exchange Cache Mode with SourceOne Offline Access
When your computer comes out of hibernate/standby mode:
◆ If you try to open an attachment for a shortcut item, the attachment stub displays text
stating that the attachment was removed by EMC SourceOne, rather than the contents
of the attachment.
◆ If you forward this shortcut item with attachments, recipients will have the same
problem.
To resolve these limitation, perform one of the following steps:
◆ Close Outlook before your computer goes into hibernate/standby mode.
◆ Close and restart Outlook after your computer comes out of hibernate/standby mode.
