Outlook 2013 set cached mode "Mail to keep offline" to All for existing Outlook profiles via GPO or registry changes

We recently migrated from Office 2010 to Office 2013.  An annoying change is Outlook's "Use Cached Exchange Mode" setting that changes the previous setting of all email to partial email based on how old emails are.  This is confusing
for end users because if they have a 1GB mailbox size limit and they look at the properties of their mailbox, it shows the cached amount which is always then less than the full amount.  While they have a 1GB limit, the properties of their mailbox
might say 700MB because that's all that is cached, but meanwhile they can't send because they are actually over 1GB on the server side.
I want to set this cache setting to "All" for EXISTING profiles and new profiles.  I think I can do it with GPO for new profiles, but I don't see a way to set it for existing profiles.  I assume I have to do this with a registry setting.

Hi,
The cached mode Sync Slider setting is maintained in the Outlook profile settings in the Windows registry. If you want to administer this setting via group policy, you can use the group policy templates, which are available from the Microsoft Web site. The
group policy template files are Outlk15.admx and Outlk15.adml. If you use group policy to manage this setting, the following registry data is utilized by Outlook.
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Cached Mode
DWORD: SyncWindowSetting
Value: integer value (Decimal) specifying the number of months (use only the following values)
0 = All (entire mailbox)
1 = One month of mailbox items
3 = three months of email items
6 = six months of email items
12 = twelve months of email items
24 = twenty-four months of email items

Hope this will be helpful for you.

  • Outlook 2013 cached mode "mail to keep offline" - does this setting affect archive mailbox or Office 365 hosted archive mailbox?

    I have an Exchange 2013 Hybrid environment with Exchange 2007 in coexistance mode as well as Office 365. We are hosting the majority of our Exchange accounts on-premise (migrating them from 2007), and most (soon to be ALL) Archive mailboxes in Office 365.
    I have through Group policy set the policy "Select Cached Exchange Mode sync settings for new profiles" to 6 months. This works fine for the contents of the regular mailbox, but the setting is NOT being set at all for the Online Archive mailbox,
    whether or not it is hosted on-premise or in Office 365. Is this the expected behavior?
    Another question: Is it possible to have the regular mailbox in cached mode and the archive in Online mode or vice versa?

    Hi,
    The key to your questions is: Archive mailboxes are online only, they cannot be cached for offline viewing, so you can keep your regular mailboxes offline(In Cached Exchange Mode) or Online, but cannot switch Archive mailboxes to Offline.
    The whole idea of the archive mailbox is to keep your "online" mailbox with recent / important mails small and accessible on and offline. The archive mailbox is intended to store older / less important emails which are not neccessary to access immediately.
    One important reason of archive mailbox is to prevent the growth of offline files.

  • Outlook 2013 set as default mail client but still shows error box saying it isn't?

    We have recently installed Office 2013 64-bit on 4 servers. We previously used Outlook 2007 64-bit.
    We set Outlook 2013 as the default mail client and do not have another mail client installed on the servers. However when you first login you get an error message box that says you have no default mail client 'either there is no default mail client or the
    current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request'.
    I have checked all defaults to be for Outlook 2013.
    How can I solve this issue? I am an administrator.

    Try different Method to set Outlook 2013 as the default mail client to check the result. Thanks.
    Method 1:Set as default within outlook.
    -File > Options > General Tab >  select the "Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar"
    check box.
    Method 2: Set as default from the internet explorer.
    -Tool > Internet Options > Programs Tab > Set programs 
    Method 3: Set as default from control panel.
    1.Navigate to Control Panel\Default Programs\Set Default Programs
    2.Click on the outlook icon on the left hand side.
    3.Set as default.
    We may also try to create anther windows user profile in the same machine to check if the issue still persists. Thanks.

  • Outlook 2013 IMAP Email Account Setings - What Is The "Mail To Keep Offline" Slider

    I've just set up some IMAP accounts in Outlook 2013 and in POP And IMAP Account Settings there is a sliding control called
    Mail To Keep Offline which is currently set to All.
    I'm a little confused as to what this slider controls and how? Presumably it controls which emails are synced to the server but if for example I set it to 24 months does it mean that all email up to 24 months old is synced to the server or
    all email over 24 months old is synced to the server.
    The lack of help in the product on this is not very good. 

    This new feature is called Data Based Sync Slider. This allows you to limit the amount of data that is synchronized locally to your OST.  The purpose of the slider is to make Outlook usable on devices that have limited or small amounts of local
    storage.  ---- (1/3/6/12/All month)
    If you set it to 24 months, the email up to 24 month would not sync/cache to your local OST file, all old messages would stay at server.

  • ExtendedPropertyDefinition update not getting synced to Outllok 2013 in cached mode

    Hi,
    I have a mapi property on a mailitem in a users Sent Item folder that we are updating via an exchange web services call using the ExtendedPropertyDefinition. The update is successful but the updated value does not seem to get synced back down
    to outlook which is in cached mode. I can confirm that the update has happened by creating a new outlook profile and pulling the mail box down.
    So I suspect it some kind of caching mode problem, may be by design . So the question is there away to force an update via EWS? or can some explain the caching rules as things like read un read seem to keep in sync.
    Thanks
    Marcus    

    Are you getting any Conflicts created in the Conflicts folder in the Mailbox eg
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?externalId=KB19222&sliceId=1&cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&noCount=true&ViewedDocsListHelper=com.kanisa.apps.common.BaseViewedDocsListHelperImpl
    If that's happening you might want to add a slight delay to allow Outlook to finish synchronizing the Item before you make any changes.
    Cheers

  • Outlook 2013 not caching secondary mailbox

    Hi, We are using Outlook 2013 and it appears that when adding a secondary mailbox through Account Settings --> Change --> More settings --> Advanced tab -->
    Add, it does not cache the secondary mailbox. This results in access to that mailbox and calendars being really slow.<o:p></o:p>
    The user previously had Outlook 2010 and it was working fine. I have made sure that all the cached mode options are enabled but the secondary mailbox
    still shows as 'Online.'
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The slow access may be caused by too many shared folders in the secondary mailbox. The following KB is a detailed analysis about this performance problem:

  • Outlook 2013 Crashes when sending mail

    The system is a Windows 8.1 Pro x64, the Office installation is Office Home & Business 2013 32.
    repeatedly the Outlook will crash after entering a contact email address when entering content into the subject line. Often it will crash when any attempt is made to enter content into the body.
    All add-ins have been disabled.
    If started in Safe mode, Outlook is able to send mail.
    The error message in the event log is;

    Nothing has worked.
    Please provide some new suggestions.
    Thx - Eli

    Hi,
    Since this issue doesn't occur when using Outlook in Safe Mode and it's not add-ins related, I suspect the NormalEmail.dotm is corrupted in your case.
    NormalEmail.dotm is the default template that opens when creating a new mail message. When you start Outlook in Safe Mode, it is not loaded.
    Please go to the following location:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
    Find the NormalEmail.dotm file, rename it to ".old". Outlook then will create a new one, check if this issue persist with the new NormalEmail.dotm file.

  • GUI Bug Outlook 2013 while sorting E-Mail in the list view in the main window

    Hello,
    I found a bug in Outlook 2013 - following occures: in main window, when I sort the list view with e-mails by "sent to" or by "received from" and when I delete one mail from this list, the view is not correct, because after the deleted
    E-Mail disapears when I go with my mouse Cursor over other e-mails in the list Outlook 2013 shows all mails from the top of the list (beginning in alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order) as I move with mouse over neighbour mails from the corrected view
    instead of the same view with only that one item deleted. The scroll element right has the right Position, but after clicking on the arrow up or arrow down within this element it jumps to the start. This has worked in my Outlook 2010 well, and this is very
    unpleasant because I can not work well everytime sorting my mails right again after I deleted one. This seems to be only the case if I sort my mails by Name, not if sorted by size or received/sent date, then list view works well. I use Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    and Office 2013 x32, on HP6910 with ATI graphics Card. Whole System works fine since years. Is there any log file I can submit? Is my description clear? Please help , thanks.

  • I had a power failure 2 days ago, have power now, but cannot send email from my iPad. Everything was fine before that. The box says cannot send mail, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I haven't changed anything. I need help. Thanks

    Hi
    I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks

    I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
    Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

  • How to set up mac mail to keep mail on server for 1 year

    Hello;
    i use mac mail and want to keep the mail on the mail server longer than 1 month, i would liketo keep it for 1 year.
    Is there something i can configure this, instead of the options 1 day, 1 week, 1 month? 1 month is too short.
    Keeping it forever is also not good.
    An alternative would be to keep it 'forever' and then use the 'webmail' interface to remove mails older than 1 year
    but his is too much work.
    best regards

    POP accounts will only give you control to server settings at the inbox. If you never remove it from the server, it will download all messages when you log into your account from another computer. This could be a problem with thousands of messages left on a server.
    For IMAP, your inbox will atuomatically sync to the IMAP inbox, so what you do in Mail or Webmail will reflect the change at the other.
    For the other mailboxes, storing messages on the server in Mail settings basically syncs the IMAP and local mailboxes like the inbox does. So, if you trash a sent message in Mail, it will trash it at the IMAP site.
    If they are left in those mailboxes, then the server setting in Mail will control how long the remain in those mailboxes unless you move them or delete them manually.
    If not set to store on the server, the local mailbox will not sync with the IMAP. So, deleting a sent message from the local sent mailbox will not delete the sent message in the IMAP sent mailbox.
    Some accounts like GMail have settings at their site that will let you further control how mail is handled.
    You can make settings to archive messages automatically when deleted from the inbox or sent folder. I believe that is the default setting in GMail. That would be what you want to save all your mail.  That would keep your inbox and sent mailboxes clean. Look at your IMAP site to see what settings you can make there.
    In GMail, the "all mail" is just a reflection of all messages kept and archived. You have no settings control of this mailbox on your mac in Mail. But, you can view the "all mail" under the IMAP folder in Mail.
    You can still set up a smart mailbox on your mac in mail to show the messages in the "all mail" mailbox that are greater than a year old. Only those would show up in that smart mailbox and you can just select all and delete without having to visually look at all the messages in the IMAP "all mail".

  • Why does Mail 6 keep switching on SSL for SMTP?

    After setting up a POP3 account in Mail 6, with SSL for SMTP disabled, it works fine for a short while, but then suddenly Mail decides to enable the SSL option which of course causes problems sending mail from the account. There is no SSL for this particular email account. When I try to disable the setting it turns off and then immediately turn itself on again. How can I turn it off, does anyone know?

    Thanks William.  I've done that, now will see if the problem pops back up.  It did report that no errors were found.
    I've also seen in the Keychain first aid that it's possible to sort of shuffle the keychain sideways and start again, would that be a sensible step if this doesn't work?  I understand that means re-entering in all my passwords for various services, which is a pain, but far less painful than having to randomly re-generate Gmail passwords
